For which of the following statements would a broker not likely be held liable in the sale of a $1,000,000 house?

The statement "This house has a million-dollar view" is an example of subjective opinion or puffery, which is typically not something for which a broker can be held liable. Puffery refers to exaggerations or claims that are subjective in nature and cannot be objectively measured or quantified. This type of expression is generally understood as a statement that reflects an opinion rather than a definitive fact that could mislead a buyer.

In contrast, the other statements regarding the roof, the neighborhood, and the remodeling involve factual claims about the property. If any of these claims are proven to be false, the broker could face liability for misrepresentation since they constitute assertions that can be verified or disproven. For instance, a claim about the condition of the roof can be easily checked; if the roof is not new as stated, the broker could be held accountable. Similarly, the status of the neighborhood’s prestige and the remodeling would also be factual assertions that, if incorrect, could lead to liability. Thus, the subjective nature of the first statement provides a basis for the broker’s protection against liability in the sale of the house.
