you need to fill out a condition report and a lead paint addendum if you are selling in WI. probably true in some other states as well.

Use the state offer to purchase form to get everything about the sale in writing.

Once you have an accepted offer, you'll need to arrange for title insurance and have the deed drawn up. A title company can make those arrangements for you.

Get your home in salable condition, clean, free of odors, great curb appeal, and ready to show.

There are canned fill in the blank forms you can get at any decent office supply store. But if anyone brings you a contract drafted by an attorney or with alot of contingencies, you need to have your own attorney review the contract.

Do what a Realtor would do. Make flyers, put up signs, advertise, hold open houses, and talk to people about your house.

But remember safety first. Put jewelry and other valuables in a safe. Pack away family heirlooms. Never show the property alone, have a friend or family member with you. If some sees your sign, knocks on the door and you are the least bit uncomfortable, say you have a by appointment only policy and send them away.
