Explanation
An option contract gives the buyer (optionee) the right — but not the obligation — to purchase property at a specified price within a set time period. The seller (optionor) receives option consideration (payment) and is bound during the option period; the buyer is not obligated to exercise the option. If the option is exercised, it becomes a binding purchase contract. Options are used in commercial development, ground leases, and assemblage strategies in Nevada.
