Once you have created an account, you can now create a listing.
To create a Listing:
- Go to scoutplex.com/list-your-film-location
- Fill in the information
- Upload photos of your property
- Click submit
Each photo image must be in JPEG format and can be stored in the highest resolution needed. General resolution and sizing standards for optimal display are:
- 1350 x 600 resolution (or higher) for large size web browsing
- file size between 200 KB – 1 MB
- JPEG compression = 7 good quality
The rates you decide are completely up to you. To get an idea of market prices in your area, search for comparable listings in your city or neighborhood.
As a new renter, you may want to charge lower than average rates to attract scouters comparing your place to those with existing reviews. Once you have a review or two, adjust your rates as needed.
Manage rates in your property settings.
- Include how much you anticipate it will cost to clean linens and to cover extra expenses, like electricity, water, or taxes. Most hosts incorporate these costs into their rates, and we recommend you do the same. There is also a cleaning fee option.
- If you would like to charge fees that cannot be incorporated into your rates (like a late check-in fee, pet fee, or bike rental fee), you must disclose these potential charges to guests prior to booking.
Please remember, renter service fees are calculated from reservation subtotals.
Anyone can share a listing they like on different social media platforms—including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest. If you’re a renter, sharing your listing through these services may help you reach people beyond those searching on Scoutplex.
You can find available sharing options below the Location Description button on a listing’s page. To share a listing, just click the appropriate icon.
To list multiple properties, you need to create a separate listing for each film locations you have available to rent. Each listing has its own calendar and description. Make sure each one accurately reflects the description of the property. Only one reservation per listing can be booked at a time. The calendar is marked as unavailable for each pending or accepted reservation to prevent double-booking.
