Overview
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.
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 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Zavvie 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Individual 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Each 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1The 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table: CashOffer__c
1:1Individual 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table: BridgeTransaction__c
1:1Buy-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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity Note / Attachment
1:1Zavvie 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1iBuyer 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity (Closed-Won)
1:1Closed 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task / Note
1:1Zavvie 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table: TransactionFee__c
1:1Zavvie 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Dynamics 365 Environment Settings
1:1Zavvie 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.

Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
