You are limited to one listing per attorney name for free listing. Gold listings allow you to be listed in three different categories. For example, with a Gold listing your listing could appear under Bankruptcy, Personal Injury, and Family Law (or whatever 3 categories you choose).
Once you register as a Gold listing member and enter your listing under you first category, we will contact you to find out what other categories you want to choose.

Registration is necessary to enable you to "control" your listing. The system has to have a way to identify you by name and password so that you can modify your listing whenever you want. If we did not require registration, your listing would not be secure so that only you could make changes.

There is nothing wrong with trying to save money. The problem is, many people lose a great deal of money trying to save money. The major function of a real estate agent is to find a buyer for your house. Since you have already found a buyer, it would seem that you do not need an agent. However, have you stopped to consider whether the price your neighbor wants to pay is fair? Would you perhaps get more on the open market? Enough to more than make up for a commission? A real estate agent, among other things, would also screen potential buyers, prepare a purchase agreement, and help arrange financing.
Assuming you do not use an agent, the next step is to prepare a purchase agreement. Any agreement for the sale of real estate must be in writing. Also, the buyer is going to need a copy of the purchase agreement if he intends to apply for financing. At this point, you or the buyer should consult an attorney. It is customary for the buyer to pay the closing costs, so let him look into financing and let his mortgage company recommend the closing attorney.
