Get your home in salable condition, clean, free of odors, great curb appeal, and ready to show.
There are canned fill in the blank forms you can get at any decent office supply store. But if anyone brings you a contract drafted by an attorney or with alot of contingencies, you need to have your own attorney review the contract.
Do what a Realtor would do. Make flyers, put up signs, advertise, hold open houses, and talk to people about your house.
But remember safety first. Put jewelry and other valuables in a safe. Pack away family heirlooms. Never show the property alone, have a friend or family member with you. If some sees your sign, knocks on the door and you are the least bit uncomfortable, say you have a by appointment only policy and send them away.What do i have to do to sell my home as in , for sale by owner?
every state is different so maybe an attorney can help you, thats why people hire realtors that way you dont have to deal with all the legal talk.. found some really good sellers information, maybe it will help

For the legal aspects, you need the advice of an attorney, if you are not sufficiently knowledgeable in this area yourself.
Yahoo Answers is not the place to gather such advice, since requirements and legals vary from state to state.
you need to fill out a condition report and a lead paint addendum if you are selling in WI. probably true in some other states as well.
Use the state offer to purchase form to get everything about the sale in writing.
Once you have an accepted offer, you'll need to arrange for title insurance and have the deed drawn up. A title company can make those arrangements for you.
Go to google and type in fsbo (as in For Sale By Owner) and start reading. There are a number of very good sites with very good information. Depending on where you are, there are even local fsbo sites where you can talk to someone with experience.
Good luck.
have it appraised
You need a real estate agent. There are too many little details that need to be handled that only a trained professional can handle properly. It's worth WAY more than what you pay for it.
