a broker has an exclusive buyer agency agreement with Dr. M, a vet who wants to add a satellite office on the south side town. He would prefer a vacant parcel on which he will build to his own specification which is at least one acre and will need a building of at least 2700 square feet. He found 2 properties that may suit him and he has obtained survey on both.

How should the broker advise Dr. M with regards in offering for either property?

a) Advise him that the veterinary property's existing commercial zoning means he would not need to worry about being able to use the property he intends.

b) Point out that the utility easement would be perfect for the dog run and would be used for that purposes even though a building could not be built within the easement.

c) If he decides to offer for the existing vet facility, suggest that he make the offer contingent upon receiving client contact information for the retiring vet's client.

d) Urge him to include a zoning verification contingency if he offers for either including making sure that a vet practice falls within ordinary commercial zoning without requiring a variance.
