Rate guidance
What a Boulder Walk location is worth.
These are suggested ranges for the metro Atlanta residential market, published so homeowners are not guessing and productions are not fishing. They are guidance only. Every homeowner sets their own rates, and productions are free to negotiate.

The 5% district fee
Boulder Walk charges a 5% district fee on every booking. It is carved out of the agreed location fee, not added on top — a production that agrees to $10,000 pays $10,000, split 95% to the homeowner and 5% to the HOA. The production sends both payments, on the same terms. The HOA never holds or forwards the homeowner's share.
Production pays
$10,000
Homeowner (95%)
$9,500
HOA district fee (5%)
$500
The fee funds the district: neighbor notices, parking coordination, the shared calendar, and this portal. Homeowners should price with it in mind — your listed rate is what the production pays, and you receive 95% of it.
How homeowners usually price
- Start from the interior day rate. It anchors everything else. Exterior-only usually lands around half of interior.
- Charge for prep and strike. Crews are in your house on those days too, even if no camera rolls.
- Price overtime honestly. Shoot days run long. An overtime rate protects your evening without souring the relationship.
- Support services are real money. A basement used for makeup or a garage full of gear is worth charging for.
- Multi-day bookings can flex. Many owners discount day three onward. That is entirely your call.
- Price for the 5% district fee. Your listed number is the gross. You receive 95% of it.
