A prospective buyer states that a property appears to be underpriced due to a zoning change. Which of the following should the seller's agent do with this information?

This option is inappropriate for a seller's agent, whose primary responsibility is to represent the seller's interests, not to become a buyer in the transaction. Engaging in self-serving behavior undermines the agent's professional obligations and can lead to conflicts of interest.

Encouraging the buyer to proceed with an offer without first validating the zoning information can lead to missed opportunities or financial losses for the seller. This approach neglects to take into account the potential increase in value or desirability due to zoning changes, which should be communicated to the seller.

Ignoring the potential zoning change due to uncertainty is unprofessional and could harm the seller's position in the market. The seller's agent has a duty to investigate claims and provide guidance based on factual information rather than dismissing the possibility without verification.
