Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about listing your space and booking locations on Catalani Locations.
General Questions
Catalani Locations is a premier, curated location scout platform based in Miami, Florida. We connect property owners with film production companies, photographers, event planners, advertising agencies, and creative professionals from Miami and across Latin America.
We serve clients from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, and beyond — relying on us for locations, local knowledge, permits, vendors, and hospitality.
Anyone can submit a listing — homeowners, business owners, yacht owners, classic car collectors. You are not limited to just homes and commercial spaces.
However, submitting does not automatically grant Verified status. Our team reviews each listing against our standards before it is shown to professional clients.
Our platform serves a wide range of creative and professional use cases:
Photo shoots, modeling shoots, advertising campaigns
Weddings, bridal showers, corporate events, brand activations
Yoga & fitness classes, podcast recordings, studio sessions
Clients include advertising agencies, marketing agencies, modeling agencies, influencers, photographers, videographers, event planners, and corporate teams.
Submitting a listing does not automatically grant Verified ✔️ status. Our Location Scouts and Managers review properties against specific client criteria before they appear to professional agencies.
Featured listings are marketed directly to our Latin American and international clients — giving you significantly more exposure than a standard listing.
Privacy & Data
No personal information is ever shared on your listing or provided to any producer without your explicit consent.
You are in full control of what appears on your profile and can update or remove it at any time.
Production companies and event planners can send booking inquiries through our secure platform messaging. Your contact details — phone, email, or exact address — are never revealed until you approve a booking.
Messages are moderated and censored until a producer submits a showing request with required documents. Sharing contact info in messages violates our Terms & Conditions and results in removal or a platform ban.
Never share your address, last name, phone, email, workplace, or nearby landmarks before a request is accepted.
Clients must provide a valid ID before any showing or booking. The name on their ID must match the booking agreement. This verification is mandatory and protects both parties.
Payments
Your rate is entirely up to you. You decide the minimum you’ll accept and all bookings are optional — you are never obligated to accept any request.
We encourage flexibility — evaluating requests case-by-case can lead to more bookings and lasting relationships with agencies and production companies.
Yes. You can set a security deposit at whatever amount you feel covers potential minor damage or overtime. It is returned to the renter after the booking once you verify everything is in order.
Yes — you can update pricing at any time from your listing dashboard, along with availability, blocked dates, and house rules. You are always in complete control of your listing.
Fees & Listing
Creating and maintaining your listing is completely free. No sign-up fees, no monthly charges, no cost just to be listed. Platform fees only apply when a booking is confirmed:
We only earn when you earn. No booking, no fee.
At minimum: photos of your space, a brief description of its features, and your desired rate. Optionally add video, a 3D virtual tour, and a detailed amenities and house rules list.
Yes — Host Upgrade packages allow you to feature your listing and submit it directly to our Latin American production companies and professional agencies, who receive curated updates of Premium listings.
Premium members also get discounts on professional photography and 3D virtual tour services, plus travel agency partner discounts.
Protection
Every person or company booking your property must be fully insured and provide a certificate of insurance listing your property on their policy before access is granted.
You may also charge a security deposit for minor damage or overtime, returned after your post-event inspection. We strongly recommend documenting your property’s condition before and after every booking with photos and video.
Since renters are required to list your property on their insurance policy, damage beyond the deposit can be addressed through their insurance claim. Always document your property’s condition with photos and video before and after every booking.
Yes — always. You are never obligated to accept any booking or viewing request. Ask questions before accepting: how many people, how long, which rooms, what type of production.
Bookings
A renter finds your listing and sends a booking inquiry through the platform. You review it, ask questions through secure messaging, then accept or decline. Once accepted, the booking agreement and payment are processed through the platform.
After the booking, both parties can leave reviews — which affect future visibility and standing on the platform.
Yes — from your host dashboard you can manage your calendar, block off dates, set minimum booking durations, and update availability at any time. You are always in full control of when your space is available.
Before accepting any booking or showing, we recommend asking:
• How many people will be attending — cast, crew, guests?
• Which rooms will be used and how?
• What type of production or event is this?
• Do you have a certificate of insurance ready?
Provide your house rules and a list of any off-limits areas. Let clients know about pets on the property. Be professional, thorough, and timely — it protects you and leads to better reviews.
For Hosts
Sign in, open your user drop-down menu, and select Listings. Click the edit icon on your listing, then click either the Calendar or Edit tab to make changes. You can update pricing, availability, description, and photos at any time.
Only hosts with positive ratings are accepted to showcase and feature their properties. If a rating slips below our standards, the listing may be removed from the platform.
Yes — Hosts may privately arrange for one of our professional Location Scouts or Location/Event Managers to co-host their property on their behalf. Any such arrangement is a private agreement exclusively between the Host and Co-Host.
For Renters
Browse our Cata-Log using filters for activity type, location, size, and amenities. Each listing includes photos, a description, and a neighborhood map. When you find a property that fits your needs, send a booking inquiry through secure platform messaging.
You must provide a valid ID and a certificate of insurance listing the property on your policy before any showing or production begins. The name on your ID must match the booking agreement.
Renters pay a 9% platform service fee on the commissionable total (hourly rate + cleaning fee + add-ons) at the time of booking. This fee covers platform maintenance, verification services, secure payment processing, and curation of our vetted location inventory.
