Agency
In Georgia, a seller's agent who 'puffs' about a property (e.g., 'this is the best house in the city') is:
AA. Making an actionable misrepresentation
BB. Engaging in non-actionable opinion/puffery that doesn't create legal liability✓ Correct
CC. Required to substantiate all claims in writing
DD. Violating GREC regulations for false advertising
Explanation
Puffery consists of vague, non-specific opinion statements that are not statements of fact. Courts generally do not hold agents liable for puffery because buyers don't reasonably rely on such general opinions. However, specific factual misrepresentations are actionable.
