A licensee is acting as a buyer's agent for a client who is looking for a commercial property. The licensee finds an attractive corner site that may have been used as a gas station. The buyer wants to prepare an offer for this property. The licensee should recommend that the client:

While spot zoning could be relevant in changing the property's zoning classification, it does not address the environmental concerns tied to the property's history as a gas station. This option overlooks the critical need for environmental due diligence that should precede any zoning considerations.

This choice suggests a more bureaucratic approach, assuming that the EPA's involvement is necessary at this stage. However, the initial step should be to assess the environmental status of the property directly through expert consultation rather than seeking agency approval, which may not be required immediately.

Including a condemnation clause may be relevant if the property is at risk of being condemned, but it does not proactively address the potential environmental issues. This approach is reactive rather than preventative, failing to ensure that the buyer is informed about any contamination risks that may exist.
