Occasionally, I get emails asking how to get started in location scouting / location management. I am often suspicious that people that write these letters are looking for a way - ANY way - out of whatever it is they are currently doing (and potentially dislike) rather than actually being genuinely interested in the location services field, that maybe they are you looking for an easy, yet glamorous, well paying job, kinda like the Dire Straits song, Money For Nothing.

Also, let’s face it, I am a pretty easy target - a quick email requesting a free look into the crystal ball is a pretty cheap investment in a career and I am pretty easy to find.

It is summer and I have been receiving a number of requests lately for beach and waterfront houses, so I have pulled a number of beach house locations from my location files an added them to a beach houses album on Locamundo:

Beach Houses Location Album
locations-beach houses

Beach Houses Location Album

These are beach houses, ocean-front and bay-front houses of many diverse types and architectural styles, located all over the New York City Tri-State area - Jersey Shore, Long Island, Hamptons and the Connecticut Shore; in the album look for the town and a short description of the style of the house.
