Overview
Zillow Premier Agent is a lead-generation advertising service that includes a basic contact manager for tracking buyer inquiries and connection status. Its data model is intentionally shallow: contacts with name, email, phone, address, lead status, and basic source attribution. HighLevel is a full-featured CRM built around Contacts, Companies, Opportunities (pipelines), Tasks, and Workflows. The migration carries everything Zillow Premier Agent stores — contacts with all properties, lead status values, My Agent relationship flags, and engagement notes — into HighLevel Contacts with custom field preservation and pipeline stage mapping. The harder problems are translating Zillow's lead-status pick-list values into HighLevel pipeline stages, mapping Zillow's connection-source attribution into custom contact fields, and rebuilding any informal follow-up sequences as HighLevel Workflows. The migration path is CSV export from Zillow, sample validation via HighLevel bulk import, then full load with a 24–48 hour delta pickup window to capture in-flight records during cutover. The CSV export from Zillow captures every field, including source attribution and custom agent properties. A pre-migration audit verifies data completeness and builds a field-mapping worksheet that drives the HighLevel import. After sample validation, the full load runs with a 24–48 hour delta window to capture any new or updated leads that arrive during cutover, ensuring zero data loss.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Zillow Premier Agent object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Zillow Premier Agent
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Direct 1:1 map. Every Zillow Premier Agent contact becomes a HighLevel Contact. All standard properties (name, email, phone, address) migrate as HighLevel native fields. The Zillow contact ID is stored as a custom field for traceability and de-duplication on subsequent delta runs.
Zillow Premier Agent
Contact Status
HighLevel
Pipeline / Custom Field
1:1Zillow's fixed lead-status pick-list (New, Attempted Contact, Spoke with Customer, Appointment Set, Closed) maps to HighLevel pipeline stages. Agents choose whether to create a single pipeline with matching stage names or use a custom pick-list field on the Contact record if pipeline staging is not needed. Stage labels are mapped value-by-value during migration planning.
Zillow Premier Agent
My Agent Relationship
HighLevel
Contact (custom field)
1:1Zillow My Agent relationships — where a buyer is assigned to an agent after a live connection — have no native equivalent in HighLevel. FlitStack preserves this flag as a Contact custom field (Zillow_My_Agent__c) as a boolean or tag so agents can filter and report on these relationships in HighLevel without losing the context.
Zillow Premier Agent
Connection Source
HighLevel
Contact (custom field)
1:1Zillow tracks connection type (buyer inquiry vs. seller inquiry) and ZIP code attribution that have no HighLevel equivalent. We create a Zillow_Connection_Type__c custom field on Contact to preserve this source attribution. Agents can use it in HighLevel Smart Lists and workflow triggers for source-based follow-up sequences.
Zillow Premier Agent
Engagement Notes
HighLevel
Task / Note
1:1Zillow contact-level notes about lead interactions migrate as HighLevel Notes attached to the Contact record. Agents can review the full conversation history in HighLevel's unified contact timeline. High-value follow-up actions are converted to HighLevel Tasks so they are actionable rather than passive.
Zillow Premier Agent
Contact Owner
HighLevel
User / Team Assignment
1:1Zillow Premier Agent team members are resolved by email match against HighLevel users. If a Zillow owner email matches a HighLevel user, records are assigned to that user. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — agents either invite them to HighLevel first or reassign records to a designated fallback owner.
Zillow Premier Agent
N/A (Zillow has no Companies object)
HighLevel
Company
1:1Zillow Premier Agent does not have a Companies object. Agents who want to associate contacts with their brokerages or team organizations can create HighLevel Companies manually after migration, or FlitStack can pre-create Companies from Zillow contact notes if a consistent brokerage field is present. This step is optional and decided during the planning call.
Zillow Premier Agent
Appointment Records
HighLevel
Calendar Event / Task
1:1Zillow Premier Agent appointment data (date, property address, lead name) migrates as HighLevel Calendar Events attached to the Contact record. If the appointment lacks a confirmed time, it migrates as a HighLevel Task with a due date and the property address in the task description.
Zillow Premier Agent
Custom Properties (Zillow Premier Agent)
HighLevel
Contact Custom Fields
1:1Any agent-added custom fields in Zillow Premier Agent are recreated as HighLevel Contact custom fields before migration. Custom field types (text, number, date, pick-list) are matched to HighLevel's field type options. HighLevel's distinction between Contact custom fields and Opportunity custom fields is applied — agent-specific properties land on Contact; deal-specific properties land on Opportunity.
Zillow Premier Agent
Attachment / Files
HighLevel
Files
1:1Any files attached to Zillow Premier Agent contacts are downloaded and re-uploaded to HighLevel's Files section attached to the corresponding Contact record. File size limits follow HighLevel's storage policy. Inline images in notes are extracted and re-hosted as attachments. All file attachments are processed automatically, preserving original filenames and upload timestamps, and mapped to the HighLevel Contact ID. Duplicate files are flagged for review to prevent storage bloat.

Migration approach
Audit Zillow Premier Agent contacts and map lead statuses to HighLevel pipeline stages
FlitStack pulls a full CSV export of your Zillow Premier Agent contacts including all properties, lead status values, custom fields, and notes. We audit the distinct status values and source-attribution fields to build a mapping worksheet. You configure your HighLevel pipeline stages to match your Zillow statuses (or choose a custom pick-list approach), and we confirm the mapping before any data moves. This step establishes the field-level alignment that every downstream step depends on.
Create HighLevel custom fields and assign pipeline stages
Before contacts are imported, your HighLevel sub-account is configured with the custom fields needed to hold Zillow source data: zillow_my_agent__c, zillow_connection_type__c, zillow_zip_code__c, zillow_property_type__c, zillow_budget_range__c, zillow_inquiry_date__c, and zillow_closed_date__c. Your pipeline is also configured with stage names that correspond to the Zillow lead statuses identified in the audit. FlitStack delivers a pre-flight checklist so your HighLevel admin can confirm the schema is ready before we begin data movement.
Run a sample migration with field-level validation
A representative slice of contacts — typically 100–500 records spanning different lead statuses, source types, and owner assignments — migrates first into your live HighLevel sub-account. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values to destination values so you can verify that status mapping, custom field population, and owner resolution are working as expected. You approve the sample before the full migration run commits. Any mapping adjustments identified during sample review are applied before the final load.
Full migration with delta-pickup window and post-migration audit
The full contact set migrates via HighLevel's bulk CSV import. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial load captures any new Zillow contacts created or existing contacts modified during the cutover period. FlitStack generates a post-migration audit report showing record counts by pipeline stage, custom field fill rates, owner assignment coverage, and any records that failed validation. You receive a rollback snapshot before the migration commits so reconciliation against Zillow is possible if needed.
