回複:please help,do I have a case in this?

First the contract law. Real property is unique so that most jurisdictions will require a written contract, unless you can claim other defenses like part performance, which I don't think you have. The question is, where is the contract? What are the terms in the contract? To be a valid contract, it must have an offer, an acceptance, supported by consideration. A valid contract must specify the parties, the consideration, the deion of the property, time for performance, and signed by the party to be charged. In your case, the party to be charged is the organization. Did you have anything this specific and signed by the organization? If not, you have no case. Did you pay any money to keep the offer open? If so you may have an option contract.

Second, property law. Unless you have specific clause in your contract that the organization must ask for your refusal before selling to others, most courts would not enforce it by your words. Most courts frown at first refulsal right and option contract because they may be viewed as restrictions on alienation, therefore, invalid.

Third, constitutional law. When you say discrimination, you have to find a specific statute to support you. Without such information, I would say, no, for the reason that the organization is a private entity so that you can not hold it liable for violation of your constitutinoal right. There is no government action. Simple just like that. Even if the organization is a quasi-government, you would rather claim 14th Amendment due process violation because they did not notice you before selling to others. Discrimination does not always work because you cannot raise anything like gander, race, alienage, or anything like that in your claim so that you have the burden to prove the government action is not rational. Believe me, 100% of time you will lose.

Offer does not bind anybody, the contract does.
