Overview

What this migration involves

Zavvie Power Buyer operates as a real estate transaction platform focused on cash-offer aggregation for brokerages and their agents. The platform tracks home sellers, property listings submitted for cash offers, individual offers from iBuyers and investors, and closed transactions facilitated through buy-before-you-sell bridge products. Dynamics 365 Sales stores these concepts as Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities in Dataverse — with custom tables handling the transactional offer data that has no native equivalent. We map Zavvie brokerages to Dynamics 365 Accounts, agent contacts to Contacts, and property listings to Opportunities with the listing address and offer status preserved. Individual cash offers from iBuyers migrate as Opportunity Product Line Items or as notes with original offer amounts and acceptance timestamps. Workflows and automation logic — such as offer routing rules or listing submission triggers — do not have a migration path and must be rebuilt in Dynamics 365 Sales using Power Automate or model-driven apps. We sequence the migration to resolve foreign-key dependencies before Opportunities are created, and we run a sample migration with field-level diff before the full run commits.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Zavvie Power Buyer logo

Zavvie Power Buyer

What's pushing teams away

  • Zavvie does not publish public pricing, making it difficult for brokerages to calculate ROI against alternative lead and offer platforms before committing.
  • The platform is exclusively white-labeled for partner brokerages, limiting direct agent access and creating friction when individual agents want to evaluate or trial the product independently.
  • No publicly documented API means custom integrations require bespoke development through Zavvie's partnership team, slowing automation for tech-forward brokerages.
  • As market conditions shift away from the 2020–2022 seller's market, the value prop of power-buyer services may weaken, prompting brokerages to reassess spend on the platform.
  • Minimal independent review coverage and no G2/Capterra reviews make it hard for prospective customers to validate claims about platform performance against competitors.

Choosing

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales  logo

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

What's pulling them in

  • Deep Microsoft 365, Teams, and Outlook integration makes Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales a natural fit for Microsoft-first organizations already invested in that ecosystem
  • Sales Enterprise and Premium tiers offer unlimited custom tables and advanced AI-driven forecasting and predictive analytics not available in lower tiers
  • Professional tier pricing at $65 per user per month offers a lower entry cost than Salesforce for SMB teams with straightforward CRM needs
  • Flexible customization options allow businesses to build bespoke apps, tailor forms and views, and integrate with other Dynamics 365 modules
  • Microsoft Copilot AI tools are embedded directly into the sales workflow on Enterprise and Premium, automating routine tasks and providing deal intelligence

Object mapping

How Zavvie Power Buyer objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Zavvie Power Buyer 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.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Brokerage / Partner Firm

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Zavvie partner brokerages map directly to Dynamics 365 Accounts. We map the brokerage legal name, primary contact email, office address, and license number. Brokerages with multiple offices in Zavvie may have separate partner records that collapse into one Account with child Account records for each office location.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Agent / User

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Individual agents associated with a brokerage partner map to Dynamics 365 Contacts. Each Contact links to the parent Account (brokerage) via the AccountId lookup. Agent role in Zavvie (listing agent, buyer's agent, transaction coordinator) maps to a custom Contact field, since Dynamics 365 Sales does not have a native agent-role concept.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Property Listing

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Each active or historical property listing in Zavvie becomes a Dynamics 365 Opportunity. The listing address maps to the Opportunity address fields or to custom address fields on a custom Listing__c table. Listing status (Active, Under Contract, Closed) maps to Opportunity StageName values with a custom status field capturing the full Zavvie listing lifecycle.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Home Seller / Client

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

The home seller (Zavvie client) maps to a Dynamics 365 Contact record. The seller's name, phone, email, and move-in/move-out timeline map to standard Contact fields. For couples or co-owners listed in Zavvie, each individual gets a separate Contact record linked to the same Opportunity.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Cash Offer

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Table: CashOffer__c

1:1
Fully supported

Individual cash offers from iBuyers and investors have no native equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity records. We create a custom CashOffer__c Dataverse table linked to the parent Opportunity (Listing) via a lookup. The table captures offer amount, buyer name, offer date, acceptance status, and applicable fees. This preserves the granular offer-level detail that Zavvie surfaces in its offer reports.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Buy-Before-You-Sell Bridge Transaction

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Table: BridgeTransaction__c

1:1
Fully supported

Buy-before-you-sell bridge transactions in Zavvie represent a distinct product type with its own fee schedule, lender terms, and close timeline. We map these to a BridgeTransaction__c custom table linked to the Opportunity, capturing bridge amount, origination date, bridge fee, and final sale close date. Standard Opportunity fields (Amount, CloseDate) capture the final transaction close for reporting.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Offer Report

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity Note / Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Zavvie offer reports are PDF or CSV exports generated per listing showing all offers side-by-side. We export these as Attachments on the corresponding Dynamics 365 Opportunity. This preserves the comparative offer view for audit and compliance purposes without requiring a custom report rebuild in Dynamics 365.

Zavvie Power Buyer

iBuyer / Investor

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

iBuyer entities and investor firms that submit offers in Zavvie map to Dynamics 365 Account records (type = Investor). These Accounts appear on the related CashOffer__c records. The Account captures the iBuyer's legal name, market, and offer terms that repeat across multiple listings.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Transaction / Closed Deal

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity (Closed-Won)

1:1
Fully supported

Closed Zavvie transactions map to Dynamics 365 Opportunities with StageName = 'Closed Won'. The close date, final sale price, and agent commissions from Zavvie migrate to Opportunity fields or custom fields on the Opportunity for historical reporting continuity. Original Zavvie transaction IDs are preserved in Source_System_ID__c.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Agent Activity / Offer Submission Log

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task / Note

1:1
Fully supported

Zavvie logs agent activities such as listing submissions, offer reviews, and client communications. These migrate as Dynamics 365 Tasks (for dated activities) or Notes (for free-text logs) attached to the relevant Opportunity or Contact. Original timestamps and agent ownership are preserved.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Fee Schedule / Commission Record

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Table: TransactionFee__c

1:1
Fully supported

Zavvie tracks fee schedules per transaction including iBuyer fees (0–3% of offer amount) and bridge product fees. These map to a TransactionFee__c custom table linked to the Opportunity, capturing fee type, amount, calculation basis, and payment status. Standard Dynamics 365 Finance or Business Central integration can replace this post-migration.

Zavvie Power Buyer

Zavvie Platform Settings / Partner Configuration

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Dynamics 365 Environment Settings

1:1
Fully supported

Zavvie partner-specific settings such as white-label branding, offer routing rules, and integration credentials do not migrate. These include custom UI labels, automation triggers, and API tokens that are stored in Zavvie's configuration store. After migration, administrators must manually recreate these settings in Dynamics 365 via the Power Platform admin center, reconfigure security roles, and repoint integration endpoints using Azure Active Directory app registrations before go‑live.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Offer-level detail requires a custom Dataverse table

    Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity has no native concept of multiple competing offers per deal. When a Zavvie listing receives three offers from different iBuyers, each with a different amount and fee structure, the only native way to store this is as separate Opportunity Product Line Items — but those are designed for product-quantity relationships, not buyer-offer relationships. We create a custom CashOffer__c Dataverse table linked to the Opportunity so every offer's amount, buyer, fee percentage, and acceptance status is preserved as a first-class record. Without this custom table, offer data collapses into a single Opportunity amount, losing the comparative analysis that Zavvie's offer reports provide.

  • Zavvie export relies on CSV downloads, not a documented API

    Zavvie does not publish a public REST API for automated data extraction. Migration depends on in-platform CSV exports of listings, offers, transactions, and agent records. The Configuration Migration Tool for Dynamics 365 accepts Excel and CSV imports natively, so the export format is compatible. However, if Zavvie's export feature is limited to 90-day windows or capped record counts per download, multiple export passes are required, and data extracted in batches must be reconciled for deduplication during import into Dataverse. We coordinate export timing with your Zavvie partner admin to minimize gaps.

  • Bridge transaction terms require custom fields that the Sales Enterprise data model does not anticipate

    Buy-before-you-sell bridge products in Zavvie involve origination dates, bridge loan amounts, and fee percentages that are specific to the real estate bridge financing product. Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity does not have native fields for these bridge terms. We define a BridgeTransaction__c custom table with the required fields, linked to the Opportunity. This custom table must be added to your Dataverse solution and published before migration data lands, which means Dynamics 365 schema setup must precede the data migration run.

  • Dataverse API request limits cap bulk migration throughput

    Microsoft Power Platform enforces API request limits that vary by license tier — Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise typically allows 60,000 requests per 5-minute rolling window per user. When migrating tens of thousands of offer records, CashOffer__c table entries, and activity logs, we batch requests and pace imports to stay within these limits. For very large Zavvie datasets (100,000+ records), the migration clock time extends accordingly. We monitor request telemetry during the migration run and throttle if necessary.

  • Zavvie offer routing and listing submission workflows have no Dynamics 365 equivalent to migrate

    Zavvie's offer routing rules — such as automatically presenting offers to listing agents based on iBuyer response times — are platform-defined automation logic that lives within Zavvie's backend. Dynamics 365 Sales does not have a native equivalent; equivalent logic would need to be built as Power Automate flows or model-driven app business rules post-migration. We export Zavvie workflow definitions as a written specification document that your Dynamics 365 admin can use as a rebuild reference, but the automation logic itself cannot be transferred programmatically.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Zavvie Power Buyer to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Extract and inventory Zavvie data via CSV exports

    We work with your Zavvie partner admin to export all relevant data: brokerage accounts, agent profiles, property listings with status, cash offer history, bridge transaction records, closed transactions, and offer reports. We inventory record counts per object, flag any export-window limitations in Zavvie, and produce a source-data manifest before any transformation logic is written. This step establishes the scope baseline that determines migration pricing and timeline.

  2. Configure Dynamics 365 schema and custom tables

    Before data lands, your Dynamics 365 admin (or our team) creates the CashOffer__c and BridgeTransaction__c Dataverse tables, adds custom fields to the Contact and Opportunity entities (Agent_Role__c, Agent_License__c, Original_Submit_Date__c, etc.), and defines the value mappings for listing status to Opportunity StageName. We deliver a schema setup plan based on the Zavvie data inventory so the Dynamics 365 environment is ready before validation runs.

  3. Migrate Accounts and Contacts before Opportunities

    Dynamics 365 requires parent entities to exist before child records can reference them. We sequence the migration so Accounts (brokerages and iBuyers) load first, then Contacts (agents and sellers), then Opportunities (listings) with their related CashOffer__c and BridgeTransaction__c records. This ordering ensures that AccountId lookups on Contacts and Opportunity resolve correctly and that Opportunity-CashOffer__c relationships are established during the import phase.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice migrates first — typically 200–500 records spanning a few brokerages, agents, listings, and historical offers. We generate a field-level diff between the source CSV exports and the resulting Dynamics 365 records so you can verify that listing addresses, offer amounts, buyer names, and bridge terms translated correctly. You sign off on the sample before the full run commits.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log

    The full migration runs against your Dynamics 365 environment. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any new listings or offers created in Zavvie during the cutover window so Dynamics 365 reflects Zavvie's final state at go-live. We generate an audit log for every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails, and we provide a post-migration reconciliation report comparing Zavvie record counts against Dynamics 365 record counts per object.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Strengths

  • Provides a dual-mode offer product—Cash Offer and Buy-Before-You-Sell—that addresses both seller and buyer contingencies in competitive markets.
  • White-label delivery means brokerages maintain brand continuity with their agents and clients throughout the transaction workflow.
  • The Modern Marketplace Report gives brokerages a data-driven narrative for presenting alternative sale options to clients, supporting agent credibility.
  • Integration with both national iBuyers and local cash investors creates a broader offer pool than single-iBuyer platforms.
  • Power Buyer average purchase price of ~$750,000 in Q1 2022 indicates the platform handles higher-value transactions, attracting agent interest in premium markets.

Weaknesses

  • No public API documentation found in research, making automated export pipelines difficult to build without direct partnership engagement.
  • Pricing is opaque—brokerages cannot self-serve pricing information, slowing sales cycles and making ROI calculations difficult.
  • The platform is exclusively available through partner brokerages, limiting direct agent adoption and reducing market liquidity for independent agents.
  • Minimal public review presence (no G2, Capterra, or Trustpilot reviews) makes competitive benchmarking difficult for prospective customers.
  • Market-dependent: power-buyer services are most valuable in competitive seller's markets; as inventory normalizes, demand for these tools may decline.

Most Zavvie-to-Dynamics 365 migrations complete within 48–72 hours of clock time for under 10,000 records across listings, offers, and transactions. Larger datasets with 50,000+ records or extensive offer history require 5–10 days, primarily because Dataverse custom table imports with foreign-key resolution add sequencing overhead. The longest single step is typically the Dynamics 365 schema configuration — creating the CashOffer__c and BridgeTransaction__c tables and defining value mappings for listing status to Opportunity stages — before the data migration run can begin.
