Realist gets data from MLS?

[Fernando]

Two of my data sources I use are Realist and my MLS.
I always thought Realist gets its info from assessors records.
I'm beginning to think MLS data coming in over rides their assessors records.
Am I right?

Realist here cites both the MLS and the Assessor records. When different, it would tell you the two figures.

Same here

I question this because MLS has subject as 3 bedroom. Realist has 3 bedroom. Data Express has 2 bedroom.
And I saw the house as 2 bedroom. The other room in the house I don't consider as a bedroom.

What the other guys said. I watch for those differences. Almost inevitably the MLS GLA is higher than Realist.
Many time the realtor has added some other structure to GLA improperly.
Other times there is a new addition.
Anyway, I think Realist sale data and most of the rest of it (not the MLS bits) is supposed to come from tax assessors data.

What does the market consider it.

If it is used as a bedroom, then it is a bedroom regardless how FHA.FF et al wants to limit them. The assessor here does not normally vet the number of bedrooms, only the SF and # of bathrooms, which they determine by counting the vents through the roof.

which they determine by counting the vents through the roof.

As long as they can tell bathroom plumbing vents from others.
2 baths here with 2 plumbing vents.
Plus 2 vents for bath fans and 6 Ohagin roof / attic vents.

They do occasionally get it wrong.

When I was talking with the reviewer, he said Realist gets its information from MLS which is why I asked.
Reviewer uses Corelogic (I think). Is Corelogic more accurate with assesor records?
