I've done about a dozen private deals. If you have a buyer lined up and both parties agree on price, which appliances stay etc... 99% of the work is done. Title companies are a dime a dozen, find a good one and they will walk you through it. The title company I use even prepares the P&S for me. You will have to do some dub things like take a reading of the oil tank, (if you use oil) call in a water reading (if you have public water) etc... Buyer may request a home inspection, radon test, septic system inspection (if you don't have public sewer) etc.. best deals are cash and subject to nothing except title search! You can close those in a matter of days.
Title company will prepare the settlement statement for you. I always schedule closings to happen early afternoon. This gives you time to get a copy of the settlement statement early in the morning (you need to let them know that so they can get it ready for you) and you have plenty of time to check all figures before the actual closing.
Hope that helps a little, typing isn't my cup of tea. You can call me if you like and I can answer some questions for you. I am sure I've forgotten a few things.
