What Is A Right Of First Refusal (ROFR)? When discussing real estate, the term right of first refusal refers to a clause in a lease or other contract that gives an interested buyer the contractual right to be the first party to put an offer on a property when a seller lists it on the market.

Every RFR should be drafted as either an agreement or a contract (in which the holder gives some consideration, or pays for, the right). It may bind the current owner alone or run with the land. In either case, I would advise having it recorded.

A real estate deal can take a turn for the worst if the contract is not carefully written to include all the legal stipulations for both the buyer and seller.You can write your own real estate purchase agreement without paying any money as long as you include certain specifics about your home.

When discussing real estate, the term right of first refusal refers to a clause in a lease or other contract that gives an interested buyer the contractual right to be the first party to put an offer on a property when a seller lists it on the market.

A right of first refusal (ROFR) is a contract that gives one party (we'll call them the ROFR holder) the right to be the first allowed to purchase a specific property if it is offered for sale before that property can be sold to anyone else.

One or two years is the typical range. Some RFRs allow either seller or buyer to invoke the RFR at any point during its term. Others give the buyer the right to make an offer only at the end of the specified term.

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.

Depending on your needs, the cost of negotiating a right of first refusal for your transaction can vary signficantly. Hourly rates for corporate lawyers in the Priori network with experience negotiating ROFRs can vary from $150 per hour to $550 per hour.
