You can isolate the exact are you are selling in to get an idea of current sale prices. Realtors charge high commissions. So even if they sell your house in a day or a month, you pay the same fee, usually a flat % of the first 200,000 and then a higher % for everything above that. It can add up to 10's of thousands of dollars. I would highly recommend you try the 1% realty company. They only charge you the advertising you agree to use and only charge you 1% commission on the sale. It can save you a lot of $$$$$$$. Specially when you compare the normal rates that realtors commission is, and they don't ever tell you how much they actually paid for advertising. http://www.onepercentrealty.com/ Do some market research of your own on property prices at http://mls.ca - that is the Multi Listing Service for property for sale across Canada.

I will poke around at work too and see if I can find any names. Call the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver - they should be able to help.
