Just my take...it is an adult forum as you referenced but it is also a professional forum.  I'm not offended by your choice of word and I'm surprised that your post wasn't simply blocked - versus being edited.  What I can share is that the most successful people I know are master communicators. They choose their words in a way that if published in the newspaper or sent to their parents - would be the best reflection of themselves.  I've read your posts before...you're direct and concise - and articulate - let that be your lane.  And, let the edit go...it's just noise and not worth your investment of time.  

Best.

 If you didn't get good vibes on the first contact, I would try another agent. Why make your life difficult! Agents and clients need a good relationship to get through the process.

Good Luck on your Journey!

 haha, and i am buyer , i feel bad for real estate agent sometimes, they work hard still get so little, buyer think re agent is rich especially if the agrent drive a nice car lol this is why when i transact to real estate agent, i show my bank account first, show my million above pre-qualification , and then even said to them, you don't need to go to with me to the house, dont waste your gas money and time , i am still only exploring, but please just send me property inspecton disclosure.  

so they dont need to waste my money/time, and vice versa. it's not about real estate agent has bias, but there're too many of them with too many unqualified buyer with too little house to choose, it's frustrating job sometimes, even when they work it out, the comms is cut by the house. lol

Agents and brokers are just like investors in that they are profit motivated. If you can't get foot in a lender's door, so to speak, they'd be wasting their time with you.

That said, if you can pay cash or provide other sources of funding, be prepared to demonstrate that ... for find another agent / property.

 They don't know that. 

I recently had a r/e agent tell me that their firm only transact with bank qualified buyers. Is this normal and why only bank qualified?? Or, was that person just being a jerk on a Friday🤷🏼‍♂️?

Most business are...can't be everything to everybody (or don't want to be).

Sellers and/or agents can require that a buyer is prequalified before showing a home. 
And you should be doing this anyway, especially in this market where financing has changed a LOT!!

Why would anyone work with a buyer who can't get qualified with the bank? Waste of time.
