It's always fun to play these guys like a fish. Have fun with it!
I've encountered these lovely fellows a few times myself. This one put in quite a bit more effort than any of the others I've seen. He had me going for a few emails. I think I'll try to waste as much of his time as I can.

Yes, you should have a contract and bill of sale. That's to protect both parties. It may be complicated too if they want to survey it and have the right to rescind. There are many available online. Some free, some for small cost.

Here is a good source for information on this topic.

Very helpful, thank you. I'm not entirely opposed to selling with a broker, but I'd like to give it a try on my own first. If it becomes too much of a hassle, or if I get impatient, I'll look into brokerage.
