My brother has been selling many things, very successfully, for over 50 year.
The mantra of a top top salesman. Enhance the positive, never mention a negative, and never bad mouth the opposition. Caveat Emptor. |

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Everyone lies and gives weasel answers at times. For example: Doctors Lies in the Doctor-Patient Relationship. Is it ever OK for doctors to lie to their patients? Patient: So Doc, how's it look? Doctor (weasel answer) You could have many years of life to enjoy Doctor (pure truth) You have severe cardiomyopathy and may drop dead any second. |

It's called "puffing" in the law. Ask Judge Judy, she'll agree. It's done all the time. Car sellers say "used car has been driven by a little old lady no more than 10mph on Sundays only to go to church" or "these golf clubs are definitely going to let you stroke less" (or whatever the term is, I don't play golf), or this couch I am selling you "has barely ever been sat on."
puffing n. the exaggeration of the good points of a product, a business, real property, and the prospects for future rise in value, profits and growth. Since a certain amount of "puffing" can be expected of any salesman, it cannot be the basis of a lawsuit for fraud or breach of contract unless the exaggeration exceeds the reality. However, if the puffery includes outright lies or has no basis in fact ("Sears Roebuck is building next door to your store site") a legal action for rescission of the contract or for fraud against the seller is possible. Puffing legal definition of Puffing

It's like all the ads you see on the internet, television and the ones you hear on the radio, CBD oil, the miracle drug that cures everything from PMS to brain cancer and diseases we don't know about yet.

They have two homes listed for sale with a water and golf course view, the golf course is the putt putt course and the water view is the water that runs around it. Not a lie but a little bit not what you would expect to see with a golf course view.

no realtor is ever going to introduce anything negative that could impact the sale....if you ask a direct question they will not lie (assuming they have integrity and are professional). You need to ask explicit questions, not an implicit indirect questions....if you ask an indirect question, it increases the chances that they'll wiggle around and spin a negative into a positive.
I've done 7 real estate deals, my father-in-law owned a Toyota dealership, so pretty familiar with both scenarios... dealing with a real estate salesperson isn't that much different than dealing with a car salesperson you need to be on your toes, do you homework, know what you're looking for, be willing to walk away and know what you are willing to pay. Remember they go to a lot of classes to learn how to sell....chances are you've never had any formal training on how to buy IMHO, shopping at the end of the month gives you an advantage...walking away gives you an advantage...knowing what you are looking for gives you an advantage.....don't believe everything that you hear...you're often listening for what you want to hear and aren't asking the right clarifying questions |

Sorry, what show?
“It's not a lie... if you believe it.”
— George Costanza, Seinfeld, Season 6: The Beard ANNOTATION George tells Jerry how to beat a polygraph test. Having worked with sales reps, many practice the "lies" over and over again until the facial tics which identify a lie disappear. . . its also called marketing, as every product and every company is a market leader in something. . . sportsguy |

Perhaps you could write what you believe to be the proper/correct answers and provide them to Administration for their publishing/website updating?
