Favorites Catalogue

Ten property links go into a chat. A day later, the agent has to remember which option had the right layout, which price changed, and which links still belong in the conversation. Favorites Catalogue gives that selection a working home: the agent or developer chooses specific properties or units, MLS RealtyHub keeps the catalogue connected to their source listings, and the finished collection can remain private or be opened through a link.

A shortlist should reduce noise, not create more of it

Separate links are easy to send and difficult to manage. They arrive between messages, attachments and follow-up questions. When the shortlist needs to be reviewed again, the professional must reconstruct the logic of the selection and recheck each item individually.

Favorites Catalogue replaces that trail with one deliberately assembled collection. It is useful when professional judgement matters more than a broad search rule: the user already knows which listings deserve attention and wants to bring those exact options together for a specific purpose.

The catalogue begins with a decision

This is a manual tool. MLS RealtyHub does not decide which properties belong in the collection. The user reviews the available inventory, chooses the relevant listings or units, and adds them to Favorites Catalogue. That distinction is the point: a saved set of criteria can describe a market segment, but a manual shortlist records a professional choice. Each included option has been selected because it belongs in this conversation, review or presentation.

Before building the catalogue, the user needs:

1. access to the relevant properties or units in MLS RealtyHub;
2. a clear reason for grouping them, such as a client brief or a review topic;
3. a decision about whether the catalogue is for private work or link-based sharing;
4. manual judgement about every option included.

From selected listings to one working collection

The interaction loop is simple because the user remains responsible for the shortlist while MLS RealtyHub maintains its connection to the underlying property records.

1. Review the properties or units available in MLS RealtyHub.
2. Choose the exact options that fit the current purpose.
3. Add those options manually to Favorites Catalogue.
4. Keep the catalogue private for personal tracking, or make it public so people with the link can open it.
5. Review the branded collection or share it with a client or colleague.
6. Continue the conversation using one focused set of properties instead of rebuilding the shortlist from scattered links.

The output is not a new copy of every listing. It is a branded catalogue assembled by the user from records already available in MLS RealtyHub. That connection matters after the initial selection has been made.

Two kinds of control work together

You control the selection and access

The catalogue belongs to the user who creates it. That user decides which items to select and whether the collection remains private or becomes available by link. A private catalogue is for the author. A public catalogue can be opened by anyone who has its link, so the access choice should match the purpose of the collection.

Manual selection also sets a clear boundary around automation. MLS RealtyHub does not add new matches to Favorites Catalogue on its own. If another property should join the shortlist, the user chooses it.

MLS RealtyHub follows the source records

After a listing or unit has been added, MLS RealtyHub reflects supported changes made to its source record. Updates to price, characteristics, photos, floor plans or descriptions can therefore appear in the catalogue without the catalogue author re-entering those details. If the source property disappears from the system, it is also removed from the catalogue.

This does not transfer ownership of another professional’s listing. When the catalogue contains properties that do not belong to its author, the author controls the collection but not the underlying records. The listing owner remains responsible for those source details.

One buyer request, five considered options

An agent is preparing for a call with a client who wants a villa with several specific characteristics. Search may reveal many possible listings, but the call does not need every possible result. The agent reviews the available inventory, selects five options that merit discussion, and places them in a private Favorites Catalogue while checking the shortlist.

When the set is ready, the agent makes the catalogue public and sends its link to the client. If an owner later changes a price, photo, floor plan, description or supported characteristic in the source listing, the catalogue reflects that update. The next conversation starts from the same focused collection rather than another batch of disconnected links.

A developer can curate across several projects

The same manual logic supports a different professional task. A developer with several residential buildings may want to present selected three-bedroom units from across those projects in one place. Instead of asking the recipient to move through a separate price list for every building, the developer chooses the relevant units and creates one Favorites Catalogue for that particular request. The selection stays intentional: the system maintains included records, but it does not decide which units belong in the set.

Part of a larger catalogue workflow, not a substitute for it

Favorites Catalogue sits inside the Catalogues & Buyer Collaboration module of MLS RealtyHub. Its role is narrow and practical: it turns a user’s manual selection into a branded working collection. Other catalogue tools serve different jobs and should not be treated as alternate names for the same feature.

1. Smart Catalogue uses criteria saved by the user to form and update a dynamic set. Favorites Catalogue adds no new properties unless the user selects them.
2. Client Selection is connected to a particular lead and supports like or dislike reactions and interaction activity. Favorites Catalogue is not a feedback or recommendation engine.
3. User Catalogue and Company Catalogue represent the published portfolio of a user or company. They are not manually curated shortlists for one request.
4. PDF presentations and live property presentations are separate outputs. A catalogue available through a link should not be described as an automatically updating downloaded file.

Keeping these boundaries clear makes the choice easier. Use Favorites Catalogue when you know which exact properties or units you want to group. Use another tool when the task depends on criteria-based discovery, lead-specific reactions, a complete published portfolio or a different presentation format.

What the tool does not decide for you

Favorites Catalogue reduces repeated catalogue maintenance, but it does not replace professional review. The user still decides why an option fits the request, whether the collection is ready to share and whether public link access is appropriate.

Its confirmed limits are equally important:

1. properties are added manually, not by AI matching or automatic recommendations;
2. a public link controls access within the supported catalogue workflow but is not a promise that recipients cannot forward or capture what they see;
3. the catalogue author cannot edit source listings owned by someone else;
4. reactions and automated interpretation of client preferences are outside this tool;
5. the feature does not guarantee a viewing, agreement or completed transaction.
