To use Office Lookup:
- In the County drop-down, click the drop-down arrow and select the county where the Office is located.
- In the Filter box, begin typing the first few letters of the Office and click Update.
(TREND searches the database and displays a limited selection based on what you entered.)
- In the Filter list, click the Office that you want.
To select multiple, sequential Offices, hold down SHIFT and click the first Office, then click the last Office you want. To select multiple, non-sequential Offices, hold down CTRL and click each Office you want.
- Use the Add arrow
 to include your selection(s) in your search.(The MLS Areas you selected move into the Selected list.)
- Click OK.
Note: You can type any portion of the office name in to filter the displayed options. Sometimes searching by the region or city yields better results than searching by office name, if the office is part of a large chain with many member offices.
Office and Company fields or codes are restricted by privileges and access is typically only given to the broker and office manager. However, all members have access to listing office and company lookups on the Address Search page.
