Previous blog entries have discussed strategies for sorting through the properties on PickPackGo and narrowing in on just the right vacation home. Although we offer helpful search refinement tools, only you can pick the single, perfect home for you by weighing various factors of the remaining properties. You also might need some help from friends or family in making your final decision. That’s where our “Saved/Viewed” functionality (what is sometimes called “Favorites”) can help you.

See which properties you’ve viewed:
As you search PickPackGo for just the right property, you typically click on the “full details” link (or the large photo) to find more detailed information about properties that look like good candidates. When you do this, we automatically add those properties to your “Saved/Viewed” properties list.

Save your favorite properties:
Properties of particular interest can be marked as “Saved,” and they will always appear at the front of your “Saved/Viewed” list. You can easily add, compare, or remove a property from your “Saved/Viewed” page.

Compare properties:
With all of your favorite properties in one place, you can easily compare your choices. The “Overview,” “Availability,” and “Map” tabs in the preview area will stay selected as you click on other property slides, allowing you to quickly compare detailed information.

Share your choices:
Now comes the best part. When you have narrowed your favorite properties down to the few top contenders, get some input from friends and/or family who may be staying at the property with you. You can show them all of your favorite properties together.
