License Law & RulesQuestion 38 of 120
A licensee who tells a buyer that a home 'has the best view in the county' is most likely engaging in:

b.Puffing, which is a nonactionable statement of opinion
c.Commingling of funds
d.A material misrepresentation of fact
Explanation
Puffing is an exaggerated opinion or sales talk that a reasonable person would not treat as a statement of fact, and it is generally not actionable. It differs from misrepresentation, which is a false statement of material fact. Licensees should still avoid statements that could mislead a buyer.
