Was the broker a buyers representative or the listing agent? Was the agent a female?

Would make sense for a female, buyers agent to feel uncomfortable with a random person wanting to view a property, especially if they already have a client.

I would be ticked off if I were shopping for property and my Realtor let anyone in with me.

N/A

Not applicable (non-issue) in this case, as BOTH sexes were represented IN the other shoppers.

a realtor appearing with their client has a contractural obligation to their client specifically. they make money if THEIR client decides to buy, which is why they did not let you in. you are not that realtors client, to try and force your way in on top of a scheduled showing already in place is in extremely bad taste. showing you the place at the same time is in no way beneficial to them in the least. what if you decide to buy after they show it to you? they dont get their fee.

if you want to just show up, thats what open houses are for. this is basic stuff.

to call it racism is the stupidest thing ive read on this forum in a long time

OK, got that. No "sexism", but only our feminist, uh, friend and expert is a qualified arbiter of that.

But the thread title claims RACISM. You never addressed that.

Possibly you were perceived as a stranger - and unless it was an open house, it was probably shown by appointment only and it was others not you that made one, so if the agent thought you were trying to get in on the other folks' coat tails, it was alright not to let you in.

That sound reasonable?

For the third or fourth time let me repeat; I was told that; "I'm not comfortable in showing you the property."

The agent's words, not mine.

sounds like the polite version of "pound sand"

whats racist in her comment? is it the word comfortable? how about the word showing?

reality check time, she wanted you to go away. your race is irrelevant

And he should oblige her by bringing his own broker and shafting her out of 50% of her commission. Niceness begets niceness, she had her chance.

BTW - when I was in CA, a broker refused to show me a property because "your phone number is from New York and we heard about a guy from New York who was seeing houses to steal drugs from the medicine cabinet." After I had finished repressing a laugh, my response was "if you don't show it to me, my friend who's a broker will." She called back in a few minutes agreeing to show the condo.

So it means "Go fawk yourself". Where is the race issue there? Had it been said "I don't show property to (insert race here), you have a point. What you have is the door being slammed in your face, not liking it and trying to call it racism.

I showed this to my sister who has been a Realtor for going on 30 years now out in CA. Top producer in her city for years and years. Pres of the realty board. Damn near everyone in town knows who she is. She laughed her butt off at you. First off she is with her clients. She is paying attention to them and them only. She would have offered you her card and told you to call her for an appointment when she was a available.

Racism? Good grief. I'll bet the broker laughs his butt off at you.

ALL sexes were represented. BOTH sexes were represented by the other shoppers.

To quote Hillary; "what difference does it make?" Because the particular make-up of the sexes, made NO difference in this case.

Next?

It would be rude of her not to give her client's individual attention during a showing. If she's a buyer's agent, (most likely) her relationship with a client is very important.

The professional thing to have done was for her to give you a business card and ask to follow up to schedule an additional appointment, but given the unorthodox circumstances that you presented her with, I can understand her being abrupt.

LOL! I'm so pissed! I was just preparing to post that very line!

Seriously though, as a black man, Joe must run into real racism more often than many Americans want to admit. Keep your chin up Joe!
