Misrepresentation and Fraud

Captain Wayne Rowlett: Real Estate Trainer in Destin, FL

The law allows an agent to enthusiastically describe the value of real estate and or the potential of the property. -A Licensees may not exaggerate, conceal or misrepresent by making statements they know to be untrue.

Puffing is a term used to describe a licensee's boasting of a property's benefits.

Example:

"The apartment has a fantastic view" is puffing because the prospect is clearly able to assess the view and the statement is an opinion. "The apartment has a fantastic view of the lake" When in fact the lake is not visible from the apartment, makes the statement untrue and would be illegal misrepresentation
