Option contract as a preliminary stage of the preliminary contract

Option Agreement – Once a potential buyer is interested in a property, they naturally want to prevent the seller from selling the property elsewhere. When the situation arises, there is an option for both to create an option contract that obligates one party to buy or sell the property in an agreed upon time period. Once the contract expires, the seller can find another buyer. Until then, the property remains reserved.
