Understanding the limits of property data
A property record can be useful while still being incomplete, outdated or matched to the wrong structure.
A practical approach
Check the source and available update information before using a field as a fact in a customer conversation. Keep homeowner-confirmed information distinguishable from an external estimate. When sources disagree, record the discrepancy for review. Do not use a single database field as proof of roof condition, project eligibility or ownership authority.
Put it into practice
- Check source and recency
- Separate confirmed information
- Flag conflicting records
