1. “Where the facts disclose that the real-estate agent had either express or implied authority from the seller to make the representations, the seller will be bound. For example, in the recent case of Jenness v. Moses Lake Development Co., 39 Wn. (2d) 151, 234 P. (2d) 865 , this court held that the sellers were bound by the false representations of their real-estate agent, Farrell, concerning the earnings of a tavern, despite the fact that there was no evidence that Farrell had any express authority to make the representations.”
