When you have a first right of refusal the seller must contact you and let you potentially move forward with a purchase before an offer can be accepted from another party. The first right of refusal can be put together either before a home is listed for sale or during the time it is on the market.

Most of us are familiar with the right of first refusal (ROFR) but not with the right of first offer (ROFO). Generally, a ROFR is advantageous to the purchaser and the ROFO is advantageous to the seller.

A right of first offer (ROFO) allows someone the opportunity to make the first move when a homeowner is looking to sell. Unlike a right of first refusal where an owner may be obligated to sell to the potential buyer under the original contract's terms, the seller is still free to market the property for sale to others.

The right of first refusal is usually triggered when a third party offers to buy or lease the property owner's asset. Before the property owner accepts this offer, the property holder (the person with the right of first refusal) must be allowed to buy or lease the asset under the same terms offered by the third party.

A right of first refusal, different from a right of first offer, gives the right holder the option to match an offer already received by the seller. A right of first offer is said to favor the seller, while a right of first refusal favors the buyer.

A right of first refusal is a fairly common clause in some business contracts that essentially gives a party the first crack at making an offer on a particular transaction. In real estate terms, the phrase right of first refusal operates similarly.

The right of first refusal is usually triggered when a third party offers to buy or lease the property owner's asset. Before the property owner accepts this offer, the property holder (the person with the right of first refusal) must be allowed to buy or lease the asset under the same terms offered by the third party.

When some of the shareholders wish to sell their share, a clause in the shareholder's agreement should state that the shareholders who wish to sell their shares have to show the right to match an offer received from a third party. This is known as the right of first refusal.

A "right of first refusal" is a contractual right on the part of a potential buyer to purchase real property within a specified period of time after another potential purchaser submits a purchase offer.

Rights of first refusal clauses are similar to options contracts as the holder has the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a transaction that generally involves an asset. The person with this right has the opportunity to establish a contract or an agreement on an asset before others can.
