In Vagias v.Woodmont Properties,Vagias wanted to buy a house in Montville.He told his real estate agent that he wanted to buy there because of the school district's reputation.The agent showed him a house in an edition called "Woodmont Courts at Montville." Vagias asked if the house was within the jurisdictional limits of Montville.The agent and a representative for the builder,who both knew the township boundaries,assured him it was in the city limits.Vagias bought the house but was unable to enroll his son in the school district because the property was outside the city limits.Vagias sued,claiming he paid a premium for the house based on the school district's reputation.The homebuilder argued that the misrepresentations were unintentional and that Vagias did not suffer a loss in the value of his home.The court held that;
A) Woodmont was liable because the location of the house was the basis of the bargain and the misrepresentation was affirmative which met the requirements of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act.
B) Woodmont was liable because the real estate agent showed him a house that did not meet his requests.
C) Woodmont was not liable because the misrepresentation was not intentional.
