Why host on Set Scouter?
Completely Free
There’s no cost to list your space and you keep 100% of your negotiated rental rate. Set Scouter is paid directly by the production team.
Small production sizes
Set Scouter specializes in smaller productions (commercials, music videos, and branded content). An average production is 12 hours with a cast and crew of about 15 people.
Fully Insured
Set Scouter collects mandatory security deposits for any minor damages. Your home is also covered by the production’s insurance policy.
How it works
If you own a property you can list it on Set Scouter. All it takes to be eligible for production is a description of the space, photos, and your rental price.
Thousands of producers are scouting for spaces using Set Scouter. Let our team put you on their radar!
Take control of your rental rate, availability, and the productions you’re willing to host. You’ll be able to coordinate details directly with producers and ask questions about their production, schedules, and plans.
Set Scouter protects your address and personal information and it’s only shared privately when you accept a booking.
Set Scouter collects payment from production teams before the shoot date. To protect your space we collect a security deposit to cover any minor damages. Set Scouter holds these funds in escrow until the end of the shoot.

A professional company that maintains constant contact and strives to resolve issues with speed. I felt they were looking out for the host’s interests first and foremost which made me feel more secure in the decision to use my apartment for shoots. The rental rate is also better than Airbnb plus you can return home when the team leaves at the end of the day.

This was our first experience with Set Scouter and our first booking. We definitely got lucky with an excellent and professional renter/crew, but Set Scouter was informative and communicative throughout the process. It's daunting to leave your home in the hands of 15-20 or more complete strangers, but Set Scouter made this process better and put us at ease.
