The realtor is trying to keep the "listing" private, so she can sell to friends who will under pay. Only way you know you get a fair price (maybe it's $250K and not $200K) is by having it offered public.
Alternatively, you could pay (not free) for an assessment of the value, it would at least give you an indicator, but note, my experience with these assessments is that they are pretty flexible in the final amount, so don't hire via the realtor or even tell realtor you are doing it. Once done , the price may still be too low or high compared to what a public listed price will sell for.
