Prior to synchronizing any of your office data to NRDS, it is recommended that you search the NRDS database. By searching NRDS, you can verify whether the office already exists in the NRDS database and avoid duplication. NOTE: The Search NRDS/Add Office button is only displayed when a NRDS ID has not been assigned to the office.

To search the NRDS database:

1. For the desired office, click the Real Estate tab.

   

2. Click the Search NRDS/Add Office button.

   

3. Enter any of the fields to be used in searching NRDS. The more filters you can supply, the more efficient the search of NRDS will be.
4. Click Search NRDS. Any matching results will be displayed.
