Overview
The Real Estate CRM stores real estate contact data, company records, deal pipelines, and transaction history with agent-level ownership and drip campaign associations. Twenty CRM is an open-source CRM built on PostgreSQL with a People-Companies-Opportunities data model, custom object support, and CSV or GraphQL API import. The core migration challenge is translating The Real Estate CRM's real estate-specific objects (leads, listings, transactions) into Twenty's standard objects and managing the import sequence that Twenty enforces: Companies first, then People linked by companyId, then Opportunities linked to both, with custom objects last. Owner resolution happens by email match against Twenty workspace members, and FlitStack AI handles the type-aware custom field creation in Twenty's Settings → Data Model before any records import. Workflows, drip sequences, and action plans do not migrate — Twenty has no native sequencing engine, and those automations must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow builder or via a third-party tool. The migration uses scoped read access on The Real Estate CRM with a delta-pickup window capturing in-flight changes during cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a The Real Estate CRM object lands in Twenty CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
The Real Estate CRM
Contact
Twenty CRM
People
1:1The Real Estate CRM contacts map directly to Twenty's People object. Every contact's name, email, phone, and address fields transfer as-is. The link to the contact's primary company becomes the People.companyId lookup in Twenty, requiring the Company record to exist first during the import sequence.
The Real Estate CRM
Company
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1The Real Estate CRM company records map to Twenty's Company object. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and address fields transfer directly. Multi-office companies may require splitting into multiple Company records in Twenty if The Real Estate CRM stores them as a single hierarchical record.
The Real Estate CRM
Deal / Transaction
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1The Real Estate CRM deals and transactions map to Twenty's Opportunity object. Deal name, amount, stage, close date, and associated agent transfer as-is. The Opportunity.CompanyId links to the migrated Company record, and Opportunity.PersonId links to the primary contact if the deal has a named client.
The Real Estate CRM
Listing / Property
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Listing)
1:1The Real Estate CRM listing records (property addresses, MLS numbers, listing status, price) have no direct equivalent in Twenty's standard objects. FlitStack creates a Listing custom object in Twenty with fields for propertyAddress, listingPrice, listingStatus (active/pending/closed), mlsNumber, and listingAgentId — linked to both Company (the brokerage) and People (the agent) records.
The Real Estate CRM
Agent / Team Member
Twenty CRM
WorkspaceMember
1:1The Real Estate CRM agent records become Twenty workspace members. The migration requires each agent to already have a Twenty user account before their deals and contacts can be assigned. FlitStack emails matched agents first and flags any agent record without a corresponding Twenty user so you can create those accounts before the import runs.
The Real Estate CRM
Activity / Note
Twenty CRM
Task / Note
1:1The Real Estate CRM notes and activity logs map to Twenty's Task and Note objects. Call logs, meeting notes, and general activities attach to the relevant People or Opportunity record via the relation system. Original timestamps and activity owners are preserved. Email thread history transfers as Note records with the email body as content.
The Real Estate CRM
Drip Campaign / Action Plan
Twenty CRM
No Equivalent
1:1The Real Estate CRM drip campaigns and action plans are automation logic with no migration path to Twenty CRM. Twenty has no native sequencing engine. FlitStack exports your campaign definitions as a structured rebuild reference document, listing each step, trigger condition, delay, and content so your team can recreate the logic in Twenty's workflow builder or a third-party sequencing tool like Mailchimp.
The Real Estate CRM
Lead Source
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on People
1:1The Real Estate CRM tracks lead sources (referral, website, Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.) as a contact property. This transfers to Twenty as a custom select field (People.leadSource) on the People object. FlitStack pre-creates the field in Twenty's Data Model with the same pick-list values from The Real Estate CRM.
The Real Estate CRM
Attachment / Document
Twenty CRM
File (via relation)
1:1The Real Estate CRM file attachments on contacts, companies, and deals re-upload to Twenty's file storage and link to the relevant record via the relation system. File size limits and format compatibility are checked during extraction. Documents are re-hosted and linked to the People, Company, or Opportunity record they were attached to in The Real Estate CRM.
The Real Estate CRM
Tag / Label
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on People
1:1The Real Estate CRM tags on contacts (e.g., 'Investor', 'First-Time Buyer', 'Hot Lead') migrate as a multi-select custom field on People in Twenty. If the number of unique tags exceeds 20, FlitStack recommends converting tags to a standard select field or creating a separate Tag custom object with many-to-many relations to People.
The Real Estate CRM
Transaction / Commission Record
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Transaction)
1:1The Real Estate CRM transaction records (commission splits, close dates, referral fees) have no standard equivalent in Twenty. FlitStack creates a Transaction custom object with fields for transactionDate, salePrice, commissionAmount, agentSplitPercent, referralFee, and OpportunityId — linked to the migrated Opportunity so deal context is preserved.
The Real Estate CRM
Custom Object (any)
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Any custom objects in The Real Estate CRM (e.g., Rentals, PropertyManagement, HOA) map 1:1 to Twenty custom objects. Custom object definitions, field types, and records transfer directly. FlitStack creates the corresponding object schema in Twenty's Data Model before importing the records. N:N relationships between custom objects in The Real Estate CRM map to junction objects in Twenty.

Migration approach
Audit The Real Estate CRM data and create Twenty custom fields
FlitStack exports a full data inventory from The Real Estate CRM: contacts, companies, deals, activities, attachments, tags, and any custom objects. We audit record counts, identify custom field types, and document relationship links (which contact owns which deal, which company links to which contacts). Simultaneously, we create every required custom field in Twenty's Settings → Data Model — leadSource as a select field, dealType as a select field, contactTags as a multi-select field — so the schema is ready before any records load. We also identify which agents need Twenty workspace invitations so owner resolution can complete before migration.
Invite Twenty workspace members and resolve owners by email
FlitStack emails matched agents from The Real Estate CRM against Twenty's workspace members. Each agent with a matching email gets their records pre-assigned to their Twenty account. Agents without a Twenty account are flagged, and we provide a CSV of unassigned owners so you can create accounts or designate a fallback assignee. This step must complete before the import runs — any Person or Opportunity record with an unresolved workspaceMemberId defaults to the migration admin account and requires manual re-assignment post-migration.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities across multiple agents. We generate a field-level diff showing source value versus destination value for every mapped field so you can verify custom field mapping, stage translation, owner resolution, and note attachment. This is your validation checkpoint before the full run commits. Any field mapping errors get corrected before the production migration executes.
Execute full migration with sequential object loading
The full migration runs in strict Twenty-enforced sequence: (1) Companies load and verify complete, (2) People load with resolved companyId links, (3) Opportunities load with resolved Company and Person references, (4) Tasks and Notes attach to the parent records, (5) Custom objects (Listings, Transactions) load last. FlitStack handles the multi-pass orchestration, tracks foreign-key resolution at each stage, and surfaces any rejected records for manual correction before the next pass begins.
Delta-pickup window and cutover with rollback available
After the full migration completes, a delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in The Real Estate CRM during the cutover. Your team continues working in The Real Estate CRM during this window. FlitStack then applies the incremental changes to Twenty and runs a final reconciliation report comparing record counts and field values. An audit log documents every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies critical discrepancies. After rollback window closes, your team switches to Twenty CRM.
