  3. Price from matched HDB transactions and current competing flats.
  4. Identify the eligible buyer pool, including applicable EIP and SPR quota considerations.
  5. Prepare the flat and presentation where the work adds genuine value.
  6. Coordinate portal exposure, content, enquiries and viewing experience as one campaign.
