GLOSSARY TERM GUIDEBuild the complete exam definition
Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Puffing mean?
Puffing is an exaggerated statement of opinion or sales enthusiasm that a reasonable person would not understand as a verifiable fact, such as calling a view the finest in town.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
Puffing expresses subjective opinion. Misrepresentation states or conceals a material fact falsely and can create liability.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
Georgia licensees remain subject to disclosure and honesty duties. Calling a factual defect mere sales talk does not turn it into permissible puffing.
An agent says a home's sunset view is unbeatable. The statement is subjective and cannot be objectively proved true or false.
The enthusiastic tone is irrelevant. Classify the statement by whether it is opinion or a verifiable fact.

GLOSSARY TERM GUIDERetrieve the rule under exam conditions
Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
An agent makes four statements during a showing. Which one is puffing rather than a statement of fact?
- A
The roof was fully replaced in spring 2023.
- B
The basement has never taken on water.
- C
This kitchen is the most charming around.
- D
The lot is zoned for a second dwelling unit.
Puffing is subjective opinion or sales enthusiasm that a reasonable person would not take as a verifiable fact. Whether a kitchen is charming cannot be proved true or false. The other three statements can be checked, so a false version of any of them would be misrepresentation, not puffing.
