When Sellers list their property for sale with Real Estate, one of the benefits is the Buyers that will be looking at the property will be qualified Buyers.
This is a benefit you receive with having your property listed that you don't have as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO). As a FSBO you allow anyone who expresses an interest into your home without the opportunity of pre-qualifying that Buyer.
If a Buyer calls a REALTOR out of the blue and expects to view a property without first meeting with that REALTOR and discussing things such as agency and financing etc. then they might be refused a showing.
It isn't illegal, I would suggest it might even be prefered by the Seller. The Seller might not want just anyone viewing the home.
With the recent agency laws, guidelines, and the increase in the professionalism of the Real Estate business you will find that more REALTORS will not be willing to show Buyers property unless they have committed to a Buyers Agency agreement with that REALTOR.
Every REALTOR has had the experience of driving a Buyer around for days and showing them properties, hoping that they feel committed and loyal to them, only to have them purchase from another REALTOR. Most are not willing to play that game any more and respect their time more than to let this happen any longer.
As a Buyer you will have to become used to this fact and the professional REALTORS will be requesting a Buyers Agency agreement. |

I have heard that in order to see a property these days you need to have a Realtor. However four years ago when I bought this house I did not always use a Realtor to see a property. I just called the listing agent. A Listing agent has to split the commission with a buying/showing agent. So usually it is in the listing agents interest to show you without getting another agent involved. The only reason I can think of that they would want you to go through your own Realtor is to keep out "Sunday Lookers" and not Real shoppers.
Call a different Realtor or email them and ask this question. They will be happy to explain and will know best in Your State and Town.

Lega, yes. But your realtor is a...slow thinker. she could have made the enitre amount.
Chances are, she showed that person one of her "special interest" properties. |

Yes they can do that especially if it is their listing. Why- its called duel agency. Pretty risky and one had better have their cacca together.sellers will tell agents things that cannot be disclosed to a potential buyer and Visa verse. Although you may double side a listing it can get very risky to say the least. |

It is not illegal for an agent to refuse to show a house to someone that do not have an agent.
The real estate agents want you to sign an agreement with them, or they feel as if they are wasting their time. So if you are not signed with them then you become some one Else's problem.
You may go direct to the seller themselves and tell them that their agent refused to show you the house, or you may find a real estate agent to show you the house.
I still would not sign an agreement with any agent. You may go to any open house or knock on any door that has a real estate sign and ask if the owners have time to show you the house and if not when is a good time.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

Sounds a little weird. Most potential buyers don't have their own agent - and most agents are hoping for commissions so are more than willing to show properties to anyone who might qualify to buy the property. |

I doubt that it's illegal, but it's not in the best interests of the seller. My guess is that the agent is hoping you'll sign with him in order to see the property; and he's trying to avoid spending time with "lookie-loo's". If it's possible, I would contact the seller directly and tell them that this agent pulled this idiotic thing. |

Why do I get the feeling you're leaving something out??
It makes no sense for a listing agent not to show a house to a buyer who does not have an agent...listing agent's love unrepresented buyers because they can make twice the commission. |

Firstly: You didn't tell us why they refused to show.
A real estate agent is an independent contractor. He/she can choose not to show you a property for many, many reasons.
Why don't you call an agent to represent you??????? It's FREE you know!
The only reason an agent would be in violation by not showing you would be one due to discrimination (race, sex, etc.).
You can get an agent referral for free here: http://www.Homefindinginfo.com
Good luck. |

As a Washington Corporation, I can tell you that while this is legal, because anyone can refuse to do business with anyone for non-discriminatory reasons, this is highly unlikely. If the agent is the listing agent of a property, the potential exists to make commissions on both the seller and buyer sides. If the agent is the seller, the motivation to sell to a non-represented buyer is like taking candy from a baby! And finally, if you choose not to have your rights protected, that's up to you. If this actually happened to you, one of two things was going on: 1) the agent chose not to work with you unless he/she could represent your best interests or 2) the agent had only 2 brain cells and one was out of commission! |
