Remote apartment viewing in Los Angeles.
Independent. Standardized. Reported in writing. A trained local scout physically views the Los Angeles apartment on your behalf, films a full walkthrough, and delivers a 100+ point inspection report within 24 hours.
A neutral viewer beats a sales pitch.
No conflict of interest
The landlord, the building manager, the real estate agent all want to close the lease. A ScoutMyPlace scout has no such incentive. They report what they see.
Standardized 100+ checklist
A landlord shows the highlights. A scout runs the same 103-point inspection across 10 categories on every visit, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Building entrance and common areas
A landlord video tour rarely shows the lobby, the stairs, the trash room, the parking. A remote viewing does, because that is where a lot of red flags hide.
Measured, not estimated
Light levels per room come from photo EXIF data. When notable noise is present, the scout takes a 30-second decibel reading. Objective data beats a vague "it seems bright".
Booking to report, under 24 hours.

Questions, answered before you book.
What is a remote apartment viewing?
A remote apartment viewing is when a trained third party physically visits an apartment on your behalf and delivers you a complete report. Unlike a Zoom call with the landlord, the scout is independent, follows a standardized inspection process, and reports objectively on what they see.
How is this different from a video call with the landlord?
A landlord wants to close the lease. They will avoid filming what could kill the deal, and they choose the angle, the lighting, and the moment of day. A ScoutMyPlace remote viewing is the opposite. A neutral scout runs a 100+ point inspection, films a full uncut walkthrough including the building entrance, takes measured photos, and reports what they see without filter.
Is the remote viewing a flat fee?
Yes. Single transparent flat fee, shown at checkout before you pay. Two optional add-ons are available at booking: live video so you can join the visit in real time, and a priority option for faster scheduling.
How long does the remote viewing take?
The on-site visit typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the apartment and the building common areas. The written report is delivered within 24 hours of the scout completing the visit.
Can I direct the scout during the remote viewing?
Yes, with the optional Live video add-on. You join the visit live, see what the scout sees, and can ask questions or request specific checks in real time. Without the add-on, you tell us your priorities at booking and the scout follows our standard 100+ checkpoint protocol.
What if I want a second opinion after the report?
You keep ownership of the report and can share it with anyone, including a real estate attorney, a relocation consultant, or family. If something in the report needs clarification, we answer follow-up questions by email within 24 hours, no extra charge.
Which LA neighborhoods are covered for remote viewings?
LA proper plus 115 zones and 10 adjacent municipalities including Glendale, Burbank, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, Pasadena, West Hollywood, and Inglewood. We verify your exact address during checkout and tell you instantly whether we cover that location.
In what language is the report delivered?
English or French, your choice at checkout. The full report including the AI draft, neighborhood data, and watch points is delivered in your chosen language.
