For us it would be incredibly useful to organise your favourite houses in folders instead of sorted by when you liked them. For example āSummer 2024ā, āChristmas with friendsā or āOne Day in the Futureā

I agree! I would use totally different categories, but making your own folders and being able to move conversations there would be great! Outlook has it, so Iām sure it will be possible.

Yes!!! Great idea! That would definitely be useful! By now Iāve liked so many homes that itās hard to find a particular one again when Iām looking for it ā¦

We need more votes for Folders. Heck, even a search feature in the favorite homes would be helpful. I would even pay for an āupgradeā fee to have them. Thatās how bad I need them.

I suggested folders to Home Exchange ages ago but did not get much of a reception to the idea. I have just done a huge clean up of favourites to get rid of homes/locations we are no longer interested in. Folders would have made this so much easier.

Annette, TY for starting this thread on āFoldersā. I suggested this to the original creator and former owner, Ed Kushins amongst other IT tweaks and he came right over to my house with his team and programmed the āSaved Foldersā tool within a week. It was one of the most useful go to tools provided for our membership. Itās a simple idea and I was able to categorize by area, country, theme like āLakeā, āOceanā, etc. Iāve requested this tool now multiple times since Ed retired & the new owners took over starting with a bare bones website but keep getting a response that they have made a note for their list of future upgrades but so far nothing has happened. This has been now going on a couple of years & honestly put me off of power using the site. Iām back active now and my āFavoritesā looks like a confused mess, LOL. Please, everyone send in a request for this tool. It made HE life so much more organized.

Yes! Much needed. My āfavoritesā are so many and so all over the place that I have trouble finding them when I need them.

Hello,
yes we need folders. My favorites are chaos. It would be easy for HE to at least sort them by region/ country.

I suggested this to the HE team too several months ago
Totally agree, and Iāve requested it personally too by email (and got a disappointing reply). If we ever reach this point of foldersā¦ (since weāre dreaming of approvements): why not add the option to check CALENDARS of your FAVOURITE homes per folderā¦ (e.g.: youāre looking for a trip in a specific weekend; are any of my favourite homes available?). Just like Airbnb has enabled. Everybody happy!

Many of us have asked for this for years
HE just sent an email about new updates but from what I can see they still havenāt updated a sorting favorite homes folder tool. How do we get this tool back? Ed Kushins (HE founder) responded immediately when I requested it when he owned the site. Seems like the HE team just keeps ignoring this request. Thoughts?
The staff is quite bigger now, it doesnāt work on the same way anymore. Every change has to be studied with data team, marketing team, see with mobile team to check if possible to do the same on the apps, etc. Itās not a company with just a few people anymore, there are more than 150 employees now, itās not just a boss deciding himselfā¦
Thank you Etienne for your reply. I know Iāve been asking for this āFavorite Folderā tool for years and if you read the other responses in this topic thread you will read that many other HE members are requesting it too. It may seem insignificant to data teams or 149 of the 150 employees but as a long time legacy user this favorite folder organizational tool is a best of class. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to find a favorite listing in what is now a cluttered disconnected mess of haphazzard cluttered favorite listings. For members, this is not efficient & honestly has stopped me from starting new searches as it is to dissorganized. Since the staff is now over 150+ who do we need to speak to or communicate our request too? So far, the only response Iāve received is my request will be added to an IT queue and nothing happens from there. Appreciate your help to communicate my/our request to the management/IT team or let us know who to send our request to. Adding an organization tool such as list/folders in āFavoritesā seems like a reasonable & not out of the box idea/request. Amazon, Netflix and every other SAS system seems to offer customizable āListsā without question. Happy organized travels, Kendall
