Overview
The Real Estate Platform (REP) structures its CRM around real-estate-specific objects: Agents, Listings, Buyers, Sellers, and their associations. Freshsales is a general-purpose sales CRM with standard Lead, Contact, Account, Deal, and Task objects plus Freshsales Custom Modules for industry-specific data. The migration carries everything REP stores natively — contacts, companies, listings, activities, custom fields — into Freshsales' object model. The harder problems are translating REP's Listing object (which has no direct Freshsales equivalent), mapping REP agent-to-owner resolution, preserving listing status stages as Freshsales deal stages, and handling REP's regional hierarchy which Freshsales represents through Account territories or custom fields. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly: Accounts first, then Contacts/Leads, then Deals with custom property data stored in Freshsales Custom Modules. A sample migration with field-level diff runs before the full commit. Workflows, sequences, and marketing automation do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in Freshsales Flow and Sequences.
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 Freshsales, 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 (Buyer/Seller)
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Direct map. REP buyers and sellers become Freshsales Contacts. The primary company association migrates as AccountId lookup — if the contact has no associated company, a default 'Individual' account is created in Freshsales. Email, phone, address, and custom fields migrate directly.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Company (Brokerage/Agency)
Freshsales
Account
1:1Direct map. REP's company object translates to Freshsales Account. Regional hierarchy representing parent and child offices maps to Freshsales Parent Account field. Multi-location brokerages use the parent account to represent the holding company, with child accounts created for each individual office location.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Lead (Inbound prospect)
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Direct map for REP leads not yet associated with a deal. If the REP lead has already been converted to a contact plus deal, the contact maps to Freshsales Contact and the deal maps to Freshsales Deal. Lead status values require value-by-value mapping against Freshsales' picklist.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Agent
Freshsales
User
1:1REP Agent records map to Freshsales User objects by email match. Agent productivity data such as listings sold and close rate migrates as custom fields on the User record. If an REP agent email does not match a Freshsales user, the record is flagged before migration — either invite the user to Freshsales first or assign their records to a fallback owner.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Listing
Freshsales
Deal + Custom Module 'Property'
many:1REP Listing is a hybrid object containing both property details and deal-state information. The transaction data (price, stage, close date, agent owner) migrates as a Freshsales Deal. The property details (address, sq ft, mls_id, property_type, bedrooms, bathrooms) migrate as a Freshsales Custom Module 'Property' linked to the Deal via lookup.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Listing Stage
Freshsales
Deal Stage
1:1REP listing stages (Active, Under Contract, Pending, Sold, Cancelled) map to Freshsales Deal Stage values per Sales Pipeline. Each REP pipeline maps to a separate Freshsales Sales Pipeline. Probability values and forecast categories are re-applied based on Freshsales stage configuration.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Activity (Call/Email/Meeting/Note)
Freshsales
Task / Event / Note
1:1REP calls map to Freshsales Tasks with Type set to 'Call'. Emails map to Tasks with Type set to 'Email'. Meetings map to Freshsales Events preserving original start and end times. Notes map directly to Freshsales Notes. All activity records preserve original timestamps, owners, and parent-record links to either contact or deal.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Custom Field (Agent)
Freshsales
Custom Field on User
1:1REP agent-level custom fields such as license_number, territory_code, and team_id require Freshsales Custom Fields on the User object. Not all user custom fields appear in Freshsales reporting by default — your admin may need to build custom reports to surface agent-level metrics.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Custom Field (Listing)
Freshsales
Custom Field on Deal / Property Module
1:1REP listing custom fields map to either Deal custom fields for transactional properties like listing_source, or Property Custom Module fields for physical properties like hoa_fees. FlitStack surfaces the complete mapping plan before migration so you can decide which module should hold each field.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Attachment / File
Freshsales
Freshsales Files
1:1REP file attachments on listings, contacts, or deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to Freshsales Files. The file is associated with the corresponding record in Freshsales. File size limits apply with Freshsales supporting attachments up to 25MB per file.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Region / Office Hierarchy
Freshsales
Account Parent Hierarchy + Territory
1:1REP's region-office-agent hierarchy requires a two-part mapping: the office-level entities become Parent Account hierarchy in Freshsales (regional holding company as top-level account, with office accounts as children). Agent-to-office assignment migrates as a custom Territory field on the User record, or as Freshsales Territory Management on Pro+ plans.
The Real Estate Platform (REP)
Workflow / Automation
Freshsales
Not Migrated
1:1REP workflows do not migrate. They must be rebuilt in Freshsales Workflows (Admin > Workflows). FlitStack exports your REP workflow definitions as a reference document so your Freshsales admin can reconstruct the logic. Marketing sequences require Freshsales Sales Sequences (Pro+).

Migration approach
Pre-migration connectivity test and data audit
FlitStack connects to REP via API (or CSV export if API is rate-limited) and Freshsales via API to verify access. We audit your REP record counts by object (contacts, accounts, listings, agents, activities) and identify custom fields, listing pipelines, and agent hierarchy depth. This audit generates a migration scope document and a Freshsales setup checklist — including the Custom Module schema for Property records, owner mapping table, and stage value mappings.
Freshsales schema preparation
Before data moves, your Freshsales admin (or our team) creates the Custom Module 'Property' with fields matching REP's listing property data (address, mls_id, sq ft, bedrooms, etc.), custom fields on User for agent license numbers and office assignments, and custom fields on Deal for listing-specific attributes. We deliver a step-by-step setup plan so the Freshsales side is schema-ready before validation runs.
Owner and user resolution by email
REP agent emails are matched against Freshsales User emails using an exact string comparison. Unmatched agents are flagged in a pre-migration report — your team creates Freshsales users or assigns a fallback owner before migration begins. No Deal, Task, or Note lands without a valid Freshsales owner. We provide a user-mapping template so your admin can systematically resolve all agent-to-user assignments before the cutover window.
Account → Contact → Lead → Deal migration in dependency order
Freshsales requires Accounts before Contacts (via AccountId) and Deals before Activities (via DealId). We sequence the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly: Accounts and Users first, then Contacts and Leads, then Listings converted to Deals with Property Custom Module links, then Tasks, Events, and Notes. The listing-to-deal split (property details to Property Module, transaction data to Deal) happens during this step.
Sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, accounts, listings, agents, and activities. We generate a field-level diff between REP and Freshsales so you can verify owner resolution, stage mapping accuracy, property data placement in the Custom Module, and listing status translation. You review and approve the sample results before the full migration run commits.
Cutover with delta-pickup and rollback readiness
Full migration runs against Freshsales. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any REP records created or modified during the cutover so Freshsales reflects REP's final state at go-live. Audit log captures every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After go-live, your team enables Freshsales Workflows and Sequences using the exported REP workflow definitions as a rebuild reference.
