just because you are friends with someone doesn't automatically entitle you to first call on their business....
I can understand being pissed because he didn't even talk to your wife but its not fair to assume that it was business coming your wifes direction in the first place....
his perogative is to maximize his profit and the relationship between a vendor and the agent can be rocky especially in the current economic environment...(when selling a house you really have to second guess everything the agent is doing and ask yourself if the agent is doing it for you're benefit or for their own)
my guess would be that he didn't want to have that sort of a relationship with a good friends wife...and personally I think there's a lot of sense in that...
BUT he should have told you are your wife about his decision in advance of listing his property
