Welcome to our monthly feature, Close-ing Time – in partnership with TheClose.com.

In this episode Chris Linsell from The Close reminds our listeners of their new premium service, The Close Pro. Chris also shares his thoughts about the history and current state of housing discrimination. He explains what many agents miss about fair housing. Chris also believes agents should actively work as a consultant – to provide the best possible advice (even if it means talking a client out of a sale). Last, Chris provides suggestions on how to nurture long-term relationships with your clients by always thinking of their best possible interest instead of your commission.
