The Featured Properties model is almost perfect. Here is a suggestion to think about for a future release.

The Sort Order of Random is nice way to have different properties displayed on different page loads but it's possible to have the same properties displayed multiple times in a row, especially if displaying 3 or 4 properties at a time. Another sort option could be "Cycle" or it could be added as a Yes/No flag for any of the non-random sort options.

Lets say you have 8 properties marked as featured. called [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]. And lets say for example, the Featured Properties module is set up to display 3 properties at a time. The starting point in the cycle could be randomized so that each property gets equal chance at being first, like the random sort.
On the first page load from a visitor the properties might be:
[E, F, G]
On the next page load,
[H, A, B]
On the third:
[C, D, E]
And so on.
The next starting point could just be stored as a session value for that visitor.
