Well how would he know unless he asks and you give an answer? As you don't have to answer that question whether you are vaccinated or not. He then says well I will no sell your house... you say ok I will get another "Real Estate Agent" he just shot himself in the foot. You can choose any Real Estate Agent you wish. he puts up his commission you simply choose another agent and fire his arse. Again shot himself in the foot. He asks if you are vaccinated... you ask for another agent or go to another company. Again shot himself in the foot. he is the one loosing out not you as the seller or buyer.
Remember by law you don't even need to go through a real estate agent. By law you don't have to give personal details like this if you don't wish to.
Real Estate Agents are amongst the least trusted people on the planet as it is... and now you just made it worse.
