Your big problem is knowing if the buyer can complete the sale.
You will need some paper work at the time of the offer that states that the deposit is non refundable and settlement has to be made by x date. You probably do not want a contingency that they have to sell current home or get approved for a mortgage. You want to make sure if the deal falls through you can move on to another buyer. They may want to hire a home inspector. If they do you can probably say 1 week to get inspection done and if cost of repairs exceed 5% (or what ever) of the sales price they can cancel. You could also say if exceed 5% sales goes through and you will pay cost of repairs at your option. If the A/C is toward the end of its life keep that in mind. You might shop for a home warranty policy that you would buy and it protects the buyer. Get your pricing now so you know what you can do if you run into a problem. Might help with the old A/C and heater.
