In a Georgia law workshop, the key issue is flood maps, changing conditions, historical seller knowledge, and the limits on a licensee’s interpretation of technical data. A participant incorrectly argues that if a seller says a condition is minor, a Georgia licensee may repeat that opinion as fact without qualification. Georgia practice instead points to this safer rule: when a condition requires technical expertise, the safer step is to direct the consumer to inspectors, surveyors, engineers, insurers, or public agencies rather than overstate the licensee’s expertise. Which statement is correct?
