Full disclosure: Mr Seiden's office is about a mile from my own. We are competitors and rivals.
The form referred to is the NYS agency disclosure form, which is required by law so the consumer knows for whom the agent showing them homes represents. It is the law and is we can't get around it, though many skip it. As for seeing other homes I would expect an offer of nothing less- that is his job and offering to show more houses to a new prospect is what we all do.
It sounds like there were some unlucky events, but I have never seen the guy obstruct a showing on purpose for his own gain or through negligence. Your agent most likely called CSS (Centralized Showings) to schedule, and they have been spotty lately- I have 40+ listings myself and they have given me headaches the past few weeks.
Unethical? Never in my experience. The guy wants to sell his listings as much as I want to sell my own. If you had bad luck this past weekend try again. Whatever logistical foibles occured will probably be straightened out.
It makes me no money to defend Seiden. But the truth is the truth.
