You definitely need a lawyer to guide you through the entire process of selling from the drafting of an Sale and Purchase Agreement (S&P) to the end process of receiving the full payment.

Even though it's an additional expense, it may be wise to hire a lawyer who will protect your interests throughout the entire transaction. An experienced real estate lawyer can help you evaluate complicated offers (those with a variety of conditions).

The lawyer can also tell you what things, by law, that must be disclosed to buyers prior to a sale and they can also help you avoid inadvertently discriminating against any potential buyer.
