Of course, scouters are seeking locations that fit their project. Scouters are generally under time constraints and need to make the most of their time. If you do not have a photo of your property listed, then it is impossible to know if your location will fit their projects.

A minimum of one photo is required in order to list your property. If you have more than one, it will be easier for scouter to make their decision and book your property.

The production company or individual is responsible for any permits associated with the filming or photography project. When you get an inquiry from a location scout asking to use your property, be sure to go over with them all the permits that may or may not be needed. If there are any permits required, be sure to get copies of them for your records.
