SAN FRANCISCO — Kimberly Fell, an agent with HomeSmart Realty West; Wendy Forsythe, executive vice president of Carrington Real Estate Services; Tim Heyl, CEO of The Heyl Group and Phone Animal; and Scott Segall, an agent at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, discussed the art of closing on a panel at Inman Connect.

  • Vary up cold-calling blocks; different people are available at different times.
