Meanwhile, you'll need to be a salesman and negotiator to soothe the buyer's nerves if/when problems/situations come up regarding the inspections, the contract, or the financing involved. It's not rocket science, but if you haven't done this type of stuff before, you'll likely be pulling your hair out and begging for help from someone long before you get to the closing.

No pay? Let them do it themselves. Problem solved
