A quick definition of seller's option:
A seller's option is a type of contract that gives the seller the right to choose whether or not to sell something within a specific time period. It is a special transaction that allows the seller to deliver the item at a later date, usually between 5 to 60 days. This type of option is often used in stock exchanges. An option is a choice or offer that is included in a formal or informal contract, and it can also refer to the right to buy or sell a certain amount of securities, commodities, or other assets at a fixed price within a specified time.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A type of option in which the seller has the right to choose whether or not to complete a transaction within a specified period of time.
For example, in a real estate transaction, the seller may include a seller's option clause in the contract, giving them the right to choose whether or not to sell the property to the buyer within a certain timeframe.
This type of option gives the seller more control over the transaction and can be used as a negotiating tool. However, it also puts pressure on the buyer to make a decision within the specified timeframe.
