What does a period of exclusivity really entail when a price isnt even agreed?
There'll be a rough agreement on a ball park number, and the bidder will almost certainly have to have demonstrated proof of funds. It allows them time to due diligence in a measured way without knowing that a rival group is doing exactly the same at the same time. It also means that the seller is well disposed to that buyer. It certainly doesn't mean that an agreement is inevitable after due diligence.
