If you've ever wondered about some of the ostentatious locales that are used in these films, wonder no more. A vast majority of the houses used are listed real estate. For a small fee, the listing agent allows the house to be used at a time and on a day when it is not shown.
This sort of thing started en force in the early 2000s and carries the burden of some serious criminal ramifications. It's one of the reasons I exited the business. Because I brought along my own equipment, I was the most visible element on the premisis - both coming and going. I was also the one who took the longest to leave. In the event of being required to leave quickly, I would have to remain to load up. Not a very favorable situation when thousands of dollars of equipment was at stake.
