I don't think it's unethical to insult someone via email. Still, if you
think her action was unwarranted, send her a peace offering.

A shiny red fire truck at 3:00 a.m. comes to mind.

I do, but maybe you'd use a different word for it. It certainly isn't
professional, and I imagine it violates some sort of code of conduct.

There should be a local or state board of realtors to which you might
complain. Realtors are licensed. Go to the licensing agency.

Realtors are self-serving bottom feeders.

I bought a property once and was given a coffee cup by my realtor as a
token of appreciation. I don't even drink coffee.

What did you expect? A trip to Hawaii? I've bought houses and
never even got a coffee cup, nor did I expect one.
