Walk Score for Redfin and TheMLS.com Extension

Walk Score® (www.walkscore.com) uses Google Maps to calculate how walkable, bikeable, and transit-friendly a house or apartment is. Redfin.com is a real estate site that lists houses and condos for sale. If you're house hunting, you spend a lot of time bouncing back and forth between these two sites.

This extension combines the sites. While browsing Redfin.com, clicking on the extension (or using the keyboard shortcut Alt+W [Mac]) pops up a small window displaying the Walk Score page for that house.

The extension also supports pro.TheMLS.com, a site that real estate agents use to email listings to their clients.

The extension is not associated with Redfin, TheMLS, or Walk Score. The extension does not remove or alter any ads or features from those sites.
