Answer: Puffing

Explanation: "Puffing" is a term used in real estate to refer to the act of making exaggerated or subjective statements about a property or its features with the intent of making it seem more attractive to potential buyers. Puffing is legal, but it can be misleading to buyers if they take these statements as objective facts rather than subjective opinions.
