Before the internet was widely utilized in mainstream society, finding amenities for any property required the individual to visit an area and find out where they were located. One would usually have to ask neighborhood residents or drive around  to find the nearest grocery store, laundromat, bank, etc were located and essentially guess how far each of these were from your place of residence.

Fortunately, those days are rapidly coming to an end due to a website called Walkscore. This unique and free service is dedicated to removing all the unknowns as to which amenities are available for addresses in Canada, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand.

One can download this useful tool on your mobile device from either the App store or Google Play.

If you are a real estate professional, you should definitely have a look at their site as it is rapidly being adopted into mainstream real estate sales. Have your IT team member install the appropriate widget on your website to promote your properties and answer buyer’s questions before they ask them.
