What is a Best and Final Offer? A best and final offer represents the ultimate offer to be made in a negotiation or bidding process. Parties use the terminology to convey the intention that further negotiation will not be undertaken – the offer may only be accepted or rejected.
Best and Final Offer, also referred to as 'BAFO', is the final offer provided within the negotiation process. In an RFx process, it's the final call for improvements to a proposed deal. Best and Final Offer is often a revision of an offer already submitted - based on multiple negotiations.
Different from real estate's “highest and best use,” when we talk about the concept of "highest and best" we're referring to the most profitable and feasible offer from the buyer that the seller would be most likely to accept.
A request for the highest and best offer can occur in real estate when a seller receives multiple offers during the sale of their home. The seller might request interested buyers to submit their highest offer with their best terms, allowing them to choose whichever one they like best without engaging in negotiations.
