A small brokerage with deep roots in the city
Founded in 2002 above a bakery on West 4th, Vancouver Coast Realty has grown carefully — seventeen brokers, one standard: tell people the truth, then work hard enough that the truth wins.
Built for the long transaction.
Principal broker Mara Whitfield started the firm after a decade downtown, convinced that Vancouver buyers and sellers deserved plain-language contracts and pricing advice that didn’t flatter anyone.
Today we handle character homes in Kitsilano, penthouses on Richards Street, warehouse lofts in Railtown, and family streets on the North Shore — the same six neighbourhoods, year after year, so our comparables are lived-in rather than looked up.
We stay small on purpose. Every client works directly with a licensed broker, never a handoff, never a call centre.

How we practise
Three rules, kept since 2002.
Candour over closers
We’ll tell you when not to sell, when a suite is over-priced, and when the inspection should scare you. Our reputation compounds; commissions don’t.
Preparation beats luck
Every offer is reviewed line by line, every disclosure package read before you sign, every pricing study written and defended in plain English.
One city, deeply known
We don’t chase markets we don’t live in. Six neighbourhoods, walked daily — that’s the whole map, and it’s why our advice holds up.
The brokers
The people who’ll answer your call.
