What is your home’s Walk Score?

March 21, 2008

For any agents out there working with buyers, especially for those that are looking to buy in the city, here is a great website to build the value of the area you are showing. It’s called WalkScore.com and it is a pretty cool site. Living in Portland, OR, I wasn’t too surprised to find that my walk score was pretty high (88 out of 100). Showing off a condo in the city, or working with a seller, try putting their walk score into your listing presentation and see what happens. From my experience, in the age where green is the way to go, getting a good walk score could be the last piece that turns a lead into a client.
