I was just going to post the same thing. I'm currently in Europe, and won't return to Vancouver until the beginning of August, so I need someone trustworthy to help me out. I'd also appreciate the info. (Also, is it too rushed to try to buy an appartment in August?)

Real estate agents aren't used car salespeople. Being a real estate agent requires a license, and there is a code of ethics associated with obtaining and keeping that license. There are a variety of legal obligations that a real estate agent has to any client, so any real estate agent should be considered trustworthy. Some may work harder for you than others, but I think you'll be hard-pressed to find somebody that will try to rip you off. Any improprieties on a real estate agent's behalf could lead to their license being taken away and/or law suits. The question is akin to asking for a trustworthy physician - people who are untrustworthy may enter these professions, but they don't last long.

When I was looking to move to London, I made contact with Hazel Sinclair from Royal LePage. She was extremely hard working on my behalf, sending me listings that I was interested in, pre-screening places, and responding very promptly to e-mails. Hazel can be reached at (519) 672-9880 or hazelsinclair@royallepage.ca. I didn't end up moving, and thus never put an offer in on a place; however, I was most impressed with the service I did receive (and the understanding of my changed plans).
