@Jake ErnstI can understand the ending of the connection from your agent. probably not a personal thing, but some of these agents spend their own time and fuel to accommodate those of us that are just looking.For that reason, I do all I can to investigate on MY time, and use the realtor for assistance as needed, before the walk-through.

Investigate and figure out which one applies, then act accordingly.

Upon further investigation, its in an area that isn't zoned for that.
