Overview
The Real Estate Platform (REP) organizes real estate data around Agents, Properties, Listings, and Deals in a flat relational model. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales uses the standard Microsoft Dataverse schema: Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity tables with lookups and activity-party models. We migrate REP Contacts to Dynamics 365 Contact records (with Lead routing for cold prospects), REP Companies to Account records, REP Listings to a custom RealEstateListing__c custom table with a junction to Account for property-owner relationships, and REP Deals to Opportunity records with stage values mapped via business process flows. Agent and Office records become Dynamics 365 User and Team records respectively, resolved by email match. All timestamps, property addresses, listing prices, and deal amounts preserve their original values. Automation rules ( REP drip campaigns, listing alerts, agent task triggers ) do not migrate — we export their logic as JSON for your Dynamics 365 admin to rebuild using Power Automate. The migration runs via Dynamics 365 Web API and Dataverse bulk operations, sequenced so foreign-key lookups resolve correctly: Accounts first, then Contacts/Leads, then Opportunities with their listing junctions.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a The Real Estate Platform (REP) object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales , 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 Platform (REP)
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1REP contacts migrate directly to Dynamics 365 Contact records. Each Contact receives the primary_agent_id from REP resolved to a Dynamics User via email match; secondary_agent_id becomes a custom Agent_Secondary__c lookup. Unmatched agents flag for manual assignment before the full run.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Contact (cold lead)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:manyREP contacts flagged as 'Prospect' status with no associated transaction history route to Dynamics 365 Lead records rather than Contact. Routing to Lead keeps unconverted prospects out of the active Contact table while still enabling follow-up through the Dynamics sales cycle via lead scoring, assignment rules, and sales accelerator features.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1REP companies map to Dynamics 365 Account records. The primary headquarters address populates Account.Address1 fields; any secondary mailing address populates Address2. Multi-office companies generate one Account per physical location, linked via ParentId to a master brokerage Account, preserving the REP office hierarchy in the Account structure.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Listing
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
RealEstateListing__c (custom table)
1:1REP Listings require a custom table in Dynamics 365 since no native equivalent exists. We create RealEstateListing__c with fields mirroring REP listing fields: address, price, mls_number, status, listing_agent (lookup to User), and listing_office (lookup to Team). A junction table ListingAccount__c links each listing to its owner Account.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Deal
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1REP Deals migrate to Dynamics 365 Opportunity records. The deal_name becomes Opportunity.Name, amount becomes Amount, close_date becomes ClosePotentialDate, and deal_status maps to Opportunity Stage via a value map. Each Opportunity links to its corresponding ListingAccount junction record via a custom Lookup_Listing__c field.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Activity (showing, offer, negotiation)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task / Appointment / phonecall
1:1REP custom activity types map to Dynamics 365 standard activity entities: showing events become Appointment records with scheduled start and end times, offer submissions become Task records with a custom Type field set to 'Offer', and negotiations become Task records with Type='Negotiation'. All migrated activities receive a regardingobjectid linking them to the related Opportunity, Contact, or ListingAccount record to surface in the correct timeline.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Agent
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1REP Agent records resolve to Dynamics 365 User records by email. Active agents get User records with appropriate Security Roles assigned based on their REP role (Listing Agent, Buyer Agent, Team Lead). Inactive agents archive to a custom InactiveAgent__c table for historical reference.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Office
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Team
1:1REP Office records become Dynamics 365 Teams. Each team receives a Team Type attribute (Regional Office, Franchise Office, or Branch) corresponding to the REP office classification, and members are added by linking existing Dynamics User records whose email domain matches the REP office identifier. Teams in Dynamics enable territory-based security boundaries and aggregated reporting by office or region.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Agent-Listing junction
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
ListingAccount__c (junction table)
1:manyREP supports multiple agents per listing — co-listing agents, buyer agents, and showing agents are distinct roles. We create a ListingAccount__c junction table with Listing (lookup to RealEstateListing__c), Account (lookup), and Role (custom picklist values: ListingAgent, BuyerAgent, ShowingAgent) to preserve the full agent network on each property. This ensures every agent association survives the migration as a queryable record in Dynamics 365.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Security roles, page layouts
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
(not migratable)
1:1REP security hierarchies and custom page layouts do not transfer to Dynamics 365. We document the REP permission structure as a role-mapping reference so your Dynamics 365 admin can re-create Business Unit boundaries, Security Roles, and form customizations in the destination environment.

Workflow rules, automation triggers
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
(exported as JSON for Power Automate rebuild)
1:1REP drip campaigns, listing-alert automations, and agent task triggers have no Dynamics 365 equivalent. We export the rule definitions as structured JSON including trigger conditions, action sequences, and timing logic. Your admin uses this as a rebuild spec for Power Automate flows.

Migration approach
Audit REP schema and enumerate custom fields
We read your REP configuration via API — enumerating all standard and custom fields on Contact, Company, Listing, Deal, Activity, Agent, and Office objects. We identify custom fields that need new Dynamics 365 custom tables or columns, flag fields with pick-list value sets requiring value maps, and document the REP-to-Dynamics field name translation table. This audit produces the migration blueprint your Dynamics 365 admin uses to pre-create Business Units, Teams, the RealEstateListing__c custom table, and any Status__c pick-list values before data lands.
Create Dynamics 365 custom schema
Before moving data, we create the RealEstateListing__c custom table with all listing-specific fields (Property_Address__c, MLS_Number__c, Listing_Price__c, Status__c, etc.), the ListingAccount__c junction table with Role pick-list, and commission tracking fields on Opportunity. We also create Agent_Secondary__c lookup on Contact and License_Number__c on User. All custom tables follow the __c naming convention and inherit Dataverse field-type semantics (currency for amounts, datetime for timestamps, picklist for status values). We verify the schema is deployed to your Dynamics 365 environment before proceeding to data migration.
Resolve owner and agent records by email
REP agent and office records map to Dynamics 365 Users and Teams. We run an email-match pass against your existing Dynamics 365 User list: agents with matched emails get immediate ownership of their REP records; unmatched agents are flagged in a pre-flight report with instructions to invite them to Dynamics 365 before the migration run. Office records that cannot resolve to a Team trigger pre-creation of the Business Unit and Team. No Contact, Listing, or Deal record migrates without a resolved owner — this prevents orphaned records in the Dynamics timeline view.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 200-500 records migrates first — spanning Contacts across lead and customer status, Accounts of varying size, 20-50 Listings with mixed status values, Deals at every REP stage, and 30-50 activity records. We generate a field-level diff between the REP source values and the Dynamics 365 destination fields so you can verify listing-status value mapping, opportunity stage routing, agent ownership resolution, and activity regardingobjectid linkage before the full run commits. You approve the diff sample or request adjustments before we proceed.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs in phased batches: Accounts and Teams first (dependency-free), then Contacts and Leads, then the RealEstateListing__c table, then Opportunities with their ListingAccount junctions, then activity records. A delta-pickup window of 24-48 hours after the main run captures any REP records modified during cutover — new contacts, updated listings, or deal stage changes. All operations log to an audit table, and one-click rollback reverts the Dynamics 365 environment to its pre-migration state if reconciliation fails.
