What is an exercise of option?

An exercise of option is a legal right to purchase a certain property at a specific price before a certain date or within a specific timeframe. This right is usually granted by a written agreement known as an option or option agreement. In Kansas, an exercise of option is when a buyer and seller enter into a binding agreement for the sale and purchase of real estate. The option agreement typically includes the terms of the agreement (price, time frame, and so on) and is usually signed by both the buyer and seller. The buyer has the right to purchase the property within the specified timeframe, but is not bound to do so. The buyer may choose to exercise the option and purchase the property, or decline the agreement and make no purchase. If the buyer exercises the option, the seller must accept the payment and transfer legal ownership of the property in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
