Practice Of Real EstateAdvertising_regulationsEASY
An agent describes a property in an ad as 'the best home in the city with guaranteed appreciation.' The first part of that statement is opinion, while the second part is a factual claim. Which advertising concept distinguishes between the two?
Correct Answer
D) Puffing versus misrepresentation
Puffing is subjective opinion or sales talk that a reasonable person would not take as fact, such as 'the best home.' Guaranteeing appreciation crosses into misrepresentation because it is a factual claim that cannot be assured.
