My question is, is how do I remove everything off there except those programs, and if so how will that person use the programs cause I believe I had to attach my name to some stuff when installing it.

If I were selling a laptop I would be very thorough about "sanitizing" it of your personal data. I would suggest wiping the entire hard drive using a secure erase option. Disk Utility has such an option, and it will write over the disk three times, making it nearly impossible to recover any of the data that you had on the drive. It takes a long time (the exact time depends on the size of the drive, but expect it to take all night or close to a day) and will need to be done from your recovery partition (if your model of Mac has one) or from another computer.

Once you have wiped the drive, install OS X. Reinstall any programs that aren't linked specifically to you or your AppleID. The iCloud and App Store integration is great when you're moving between systems, but it has made preparing systems for resale a bit more difficult.

Check eBay to get a sense of what systems like yours are selling for these days. I'm not familiar with the programs you're talking about; if you can get them onto the system then they should increase the sale value.
