Accurate home valuations are essential for both buyers and sellers, as they help to determine the fair market value of a property. While there are a variety of methods and tools that can be used to assess a home's value, using tax records to find sales that were not listed the MLS listing service can provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the property's value.  

Tax records provide valuable information about a property's legal characteristics, such as square footage, and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. This up to date information can greatly improve the accuracy of the the valuation process and ensure that the property is being fairly valued.

Many agents sell properties that do not get recorded on the MLS listing service which is what is usually used to assist in the reporting of comparable sales. The added value of searching the tax records for additional sales, provides more accurate data to ensure that the home is being priced appropriately based on the current market trends.

Overall, taking the extra step to use tax records to find additional comparable sales can help to provide a more accurate and reliable home valuation, which can be beneficial for both buyers and sellers. I hope you found this information helpful!
