In IDX, your "featured properties" are those MLS listings associated with your agent ID (for a single-agent account) or your office ID (for a multi-agent account). These properties are displayed on your Featured Properties page (featured.php) and are also the properties that will be included in any syndication links, slideshows, or showcases you are using. These tools will automatically pull your own listings and should never require a manual update, unless your MLS ID changes or you upgrade from a single-agent to a multi-agent account. By using the Featured Properties tools, you can give your own listings better visibility. 

To add a Featured Properties page to your website, just place the Featured Properties link from your Page Links anywhere in your site navigation. You can also use your featured properties with the Slideshow Settings and Showcase Settings tools available in the Widgets menu of your control panel.

You also have the ability to place your featured properties at the top of all search results. Go to My Preferences Global Preferences. Scroll down to the Results Page Options, and select Yes for Feature My MLS Properties on Standard Results.

You can also set other options for your featured properties on the Global Preferences page. The fourth section of the Global Preferences page applies to your featured, supplemental, and sold listings pages.
