If I receive an appraisal order for a sale transaction, can the realtor deny me access to the property? Say for instance because he is mad that I turned him into the state for calling my clients and trying to get appraisals reassigned?
 
I think that would be something else you could report to the state. I'd go to his superior and/or to the client. The days are numbered where the REALTOR or the MB can choose the appraiser that always hits the numbers, no questioned asked....
 
wonder what the buyer & seller would think of this?
 
Hey, contact the seller and tell him/her/them that their agent is not allowing you to complete your job! That should get you in?
 
He is the "superior"
Owner/Broker
Thinks his poo smells like roses.
 
I would think the only person would could deny you access would be the owner of the property.
 
Have the other Realtor set it up. I have one Realb!tch who always blackballs me because I would not overlook peeling paint on one of her deals back in 1999.

Report it to who? No one gives a care what the Realtors do.
 
If he is a REALTOR®, you can probably file a complaint with your local association. If you are a member, see if your association has a grievance committee. Your biggest problem will be that the grievance committee will probably be stacked with his cronies. You may win the battle, but make a lot of unnecessary enemies.
 
It is really unfortunate that realtors guidelines are based on ethics. To most realtors in this area, ethic are like rocket science. I am surprised most of them made it out of 8th grade.
The realtor in this case is the owner/broker of the realty.
He is the buyer and seller agent.
Pretty convenient.
