Overview
Entera is a real estate investment management SaaS platform that stores data around properties, investor profiles, investment deals, and transaction history. HubSpot is a B2B sales and marketing CRM that uses contacts, companies, deals, and engagement logs as its core objects. The two platforms share no native data model parity — there is no Entera equivalent of HubSpot's lifecycle_stage, deal pipeline, or engagement logging, and HubSpot has no native property object for real estate assets. We bridge this gap by treating Entera properties as HubSpot companies (with a custom field flagging them as investment properties), investor profiles as HubSpot contacts, and investment deals as HubSpot deals with a parallel pipeline reflecting acquisition, underwriting, due diligence, closing, and renovation stages. Custom fields like investment_type, equity_percentage, and portfolio_size migrate as HubSpot custom properties. Original create dates and owner assignments are preserved via custom fields and email-resolved owner matching. Entera's transaction history migrates as HubSpot engagements (calls, emails, meetings). After migration, teams rebuild any investment-specific workflows in HubSpot's workflow builder — those do not transfer automatically. The migration runs via HubSpot's Contacts API and bulk import, with a delta-pickup window capturing any Entera changes during the final cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Entera object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Entera
Investor
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Entera investor records map directly to HubSpot contacts. Standard contact fields like name, email address, phone number, and job title transfer cleanly without transformation. We create a custom pick-list property investor_status__c on the Contact object to preserve the original Entera investor_status values — Active, Passive, and Former — which have no native HubSpot equivalent. This custom field maintains your operational investor relationship status separate from HubSpot's lifecycle_stage billing construct.
Entera
Investor.investor_type
HubSpot
Contact.lifecycle_stage
1:1Entera's investor_type pick-list values map to HubSpot lifecycle_stage. 'Active Investor' maps to 'Customer', 'Passive Investor' maps to 'Evangelist', 'Former Investor' maps to 'Other', and new prospects route as 'Lead'. Your team chooses which investor_type values route to which HubSpot lifecycle stage before migration runs.
Entera
Property
HubSpot
Company
1:1Each Entera property record maps to a corresponding HubSpot company record. We add a custom boolean property investment_property__c set to true on every migrated property record so your team can filter investment assets from standard B2B accounts without ambiguity. This flag supports portfolio segmentation and ensures your deal teams immediately distinguish real estate holdings from conventional business accounts in the HubSpot CRM interface.
Entera
Property.property_address components
HubSpot
Company address fields
1:1Entera's property_street_address, property_city, property_state, and property_postal_code map to HubSpot Company address fields. These combine into a compound address structure on the HubSpot company record. The property_country value maps to the country field within the same compound, preserving the full geographic context of each real estate asset across all address components.
Entera
Property.current_value
HubSpot
Company.annual_revenue
1:1Entera property.current_value (the assessed or market value of a real estate asset) maps to HubSpot Company annual_revenue as a proxy field. This is a data-model decision — HubSpot has no native property-valuation field, so we use annual_revenue for reporting consistency across all company records.
Entera
Investment Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Entera investment deals map directly to HubSpot deals. The deal_name becomes the deal name, deal_amount maps to the Amount field, and deal_stage maps to the HubSpot dealstage through value-mapping configured for each pipeline. Each distinct Entera pipeline — such as Acquisition Pipeline or Renovation Pipeline — creates a corresponding HubSpot deal pipeline with appropriately scoped stage pick-list values.
Entera
Investment Deal.investor_deal_association
HubSpot
Deal contact association + custom equity field
1:1Entera's investor_deal_association stores equity_percentage and investment_role per investor-deal pair. We associate the investor Contact to the HubSpot Deal using the standard deal-contact association and store equity_percentage as a custom Number field on the Deal. investment_role becomes a custom pick-list field on the deal.
Entera
Investment Deal.pipeline
HubSpot
Deal.pipeline
1:1Entera deal pipelines (Acquisition Pipeline, Renovation Pipeline) map directly to HubSpot deal pipelines. Each Entera pipeline creates a corresponding HubSpot pipeline so stage pick-list values are scoped correctly per deal type and investment strategy.
Entera
Transaction History
HubSpot
Engagement (Call / Email / Meeting)
1:1Entera transaction_history records — buy, sell, and renovation events with dates and descriptions — migrate as HubSpot engagement records. Each transaction becomes a Note-type engagement with the original amount and description preserved in the note body, maintaining the complete investment event timeline within HubSpot for audit and reporting purposes.
Entera
Owner / Manager
HubSpot
HubSpot Owner
1:1Entera owner_id and manager_id fields are resolved by matching against HubSpot user email addresses. Any owners without matching HubSpot accounts are flagged as exceptions before migration so your team can create HubSpot user accounts for them or assign their records to a fallback owner. This ensures no deal or contact lands in HubSpot without a resolved owner.
Entera
Custom Field (investment_type)
HubSpot
Custom property on Deal
1:1Entera custom fields like investment_type, equity_percentage, preferred_return, and cap_rate have no HubSpot native equivalent. We create these as HubSpot custom properties on the Deal object and map values during migration. Equity_percentage and cap_rate become Number properties; investment_type and preferred_return become pick-list properties with value-by-value mapping.
Entera
Attachment / Document (Offering Memorandum, Purchase Agreement)
HubSpot
HubSpot File on Deal or Company
1:1Entera file attachments associated with investment deals or property records re-upload to HubSpot as Files linked to the corresponding Deal or Company record. Each file attaches to the parent object it was associated with in Entera. File size limits (HubSpot default 25MB per file) apply; large documents may need compression before upload to comply with HubSpot storage constraints.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Entera gotchas
No public API means migration requires support-coordinated exports
Custom fields are invisible in standard exports
Document attachments require separate download coordination
Marketplace data may not export cleanly without provider consent
HubSpot gotchas
Marketing Contacts billing model is migration-critical
Feature tier gating is not visible until onboarding
Mandatory onboarding fees inflate year-one cost
HubSpot CSV importer cannot migrate engagements or attachments
Custom objects require Enterprise and a pre-existing schema
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Stand up HubSpot schema and custom properties first
Before any data moves, your HubSpot admin (or our team) creates the custom properties needed for investment-specific data: investor_status__c, portfolio_role__c, equity_percentage__c, investment_role__c, investment_property__c, property_type__c, monthly_rental_income__c, cap_rate__c, entera_deal_url__c, entera_property_url__c, original_create_date__c, and source_system_id__c. We also configure the deal pipelines that mirror your Entera investment stages (Acquisition, Underwriting, Due Diligence, Closing, Renovation, Stabilized). We deliver a HubSpot setup checklist so the schema is ready before field mapping validation runs.
Resolve Entera owners and managers to HubSpot users by email
Entera owner_id and manager_id fields are resolved by matching against HubSpot user email addresses in a lookup table. Unmatched owners are flagged as exceptions before migration begins — your team either creates HubSpot user accounts for them or assigns their records to a fallback owner designated during planning. This email-resolution step is critical because no deal or contact lands in HubSpot without a valid owner_id. We also capture the complete Entera owner history as original_owner__c for audit continuity and historical reporting after migration completes.
Migrate property records as HubSpot companies before investor contacts and investment deals
HubSpot's foreign-key model requires Companies to exist before Contacts can link to them (via company_id), and Deals to exist before deal-contact associations resolve. We sequence the migration so Entera properties migrate first, creating HubSpot company records with investment_property__c set to true. Investor contacts migrate next, followed by investment deals with owner and property associations resolved. This ordering ensures referential integrity and prevents orphaned records.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff across a representative slice
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning investor contacts, property companies, investment deals, and a sample of transaction history. We generate a field-level diff between the Entera source record and the resulting HubSpot record so you can verify investor_status__c mapping, equity_percentage__c population, pipeline-to-dealstage mapping, and owner resolution before the full run commits. Any mismapped values or missing associations are corrected in the mapping plan before the full migration proceeds.
Cut over with delta-pickup window for in-flight deals and investor updates
Full migration runs against HubSpot via the Contacts API and bulk import. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Entera records modified during the cutover — new investor sign-ups, updated deal stages, or property valuations changed while migration was running. Audit log captures every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies missing data. We deliver a reconciliation report showing record counts, association counts, and any records that require manual review post-migration.
