you are thinking its the sellers agent. the sellers agent would be there if it were an open house, but not necessarily if another agent were showing the house for his/her clients.
nothing in joes story indicates it was an open house, just that some people were being let in and he wanted to join.
what happened here is joe tried to jump a private showing and doesnt appear to get it, so its gotta be racism.

In addition, those prospective buyers may have been previously screened to ensure that they can either qualify for a mortgage or have the wherewithal to buy the place outright. If so, the realtor may have believed that it was more productive to invest her time with those clients. I have no doubt that realtors could waste a lot a time with financially unqualified lookieloos in absence of such screening.
