  • Hire an Experienced Real Estate Attorney: They can handle legal aspects such as drafting a sales contract and reviewing offers.
  • Disclosure: Disclose any defects and issues with the property.
  • Prepare a Sales Contract: Work with your attorney to draft a legally binding contract that protects your interests.
  • Obtain Necessary Approvals: Obtain approvals from HOAs, local zoning boards, and building departments.
  • Conduct a Final Walkthrough: Ensure that everything is in order and that repairs/improvements agreed upon have been completed.

Additional legal steps may be necessary depending on circumstances. Always work with a reputable real estate attorney to ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
