Why Choose Scouter
1. Turn your property into income
Use your property to increase revenue or income in a unique way by collaborating with photographers and filmmakers for their upcoming shoots!
2. Create your listings for free
There is absolutely no fee for listing as many locations on Scouter as you'd like. You can keep these listings up as long as you want with no risk to your wallet. Scouter collects a 15% transaction fee for each booking and that's it!
3. Set your own pricing
You set your own pricing and decide what to charge based on what's worth it to you. Need to have someone home to unlock the door? Need to have an employee on staff to supervise? You can factor this all into your minimum pricing per hour.
4. Accept or reject any project
Creatives will reach out to you via the website which will automatically send you an email and a text (if you sign up for SMS!). You'll be able to discuss shoot details and then you can either accept or reject any project that comes your way.
5. Receive guaranteed payments on time
Once a booking has been accepted, Scouter will hold the full payment. Scouter will then deposit the funds straight into your bank account via Stripe once the booking has been completed.
