The power of attorney did not authorise the sale of the property; the principal did not by words or conduct represent that the agent had authority to sell at $1.17 million; an agent's unilateral representations and actions could not create apparent authority from the principal; therefore the agent lacked both actual and apparent authority and the plaintiff's claim for specific performance fails.
