Realtor Refusing to Show Property...

[Paul Cijunelis]

Can a realtor refuse to show a property? Is there a legal or ethical issue here?

I asked to see a property and was told "without a pre-approval for a loan we don't want to show the property"

I don't have pre-approval from a bank and this is because I have enough cash to pay for it, so didn't see the need. I'm sure if I change my mind and want to do a loan, due to my financial status a bank will surely provide a loan. So I don't want to go through the trouble. Why should I? It is the realtor's JOB however to show a propertly. How can they refuse based on any reason?
