WalkScore App helps your digital marketing presence, real estate pros!

Walk Score’s new iPhone app and website offer anyone a way to share and discover what makes neighborhoods unique.

Anyone can add a neighborhood gem (coffee shop, park, public art, store, etc.) or problem spot (dangerous intersection, poor ADA or stroller sidewalk access, sketchy bike lanes, etc.).

Become a “Local Expert” in a neighborhood and/or city by adding at least 10 places (with a photo + comment). The user with the most places in one area will be featured on Walk Score city and neighborhood pages. Locals across the country have already achieved this (honor and) recognition including Chicago real estate agent Terri Buseman, Charlottesville real estate agent Keith Davis, Atlanta real estate agent Jennifer Kjellgren, Seattle-based International Institute for Sustainability’s Liz Stenning,  Seattle-area real estate agent Pat Giles, Los Angeles real estate agent Norma, Portland, Oregon local Justin, and Grand Rapids, Michigan local Josh. Will you be the next Walk Score Local Expert?
