Looks like Kelman couldn’t let 2014 go by without doing some acquiring of his own.
“The acquisition is Redfin’s first and the reason for it is simple: We want to give folks a complete portrait of what it would be like to live somewhere new, within the house and in the surrounding neighborhood.”
I’ve been a bug fan of Walk Score for a long time. It was one of the first APIs we integrated in to Cloud CMA. Over the years when giving demos I would ask the audience if they have heard about Walk Score, at first I would explain it. But now they have done such a great job or working with MLS that I usually just get a lot of heads nodding.
Huge congrats to Matt Lerner and the rest of the Walk Score team.
We used Walk Score on our sites as a widget for a while. I would like to see a fresh script where someone has plugged it in. Consumers do benefit from the info and acquisitions usually spawn fresh ideas.
