One way to find out the owner is to go to Melissa Data.com.  Note the property address, including zip code. You can get contact information and reach the owner that way.  Always do a walk through first, do comps as well ( 2 or 3 similar properties in the same area as the property of interest/also same in number of bedrooms/baths and construction).  That will give you a good asking price.  Good luck.
