Scott Zocco of the Zocco Team advised listeners on practical steps sellers can take and described how rental supply and new developments are shaping housing choices in Walker.

Zocco emphasized curb appeal and basic upkeep as the first priorities: "Start outside. Make it look nice, fresh, clean," he said, and recommended eliminating odors and keeping spaces neutral for buyers. For renovations, he said kitchens and bathrooms provide the highest return on investment but cautioned sellers not to over-improve beyond neighborhood norms.

On rentals and housing variety, Zocco said first-time buyers are older than in the past — "36 or 38" — which increases demand for rental housing. He cited local projects such as VISTA 45 and Talman Woods and called the builders (JAG) "world class" in quality. Zocco said these options—condos, single-family, rental units—help Walker absorb growth from Grand Rapids and attract workers from local employers.

Zocco closed by offering contact information for the Zocco Team (zokoeteam.com) and recommended people research their personal finances before deciding whether to buy or rent.
