What is the process of buying a property off-market

[Phillip Vaughan]

How, exactly, do you purchase a home off market? Once you find someone willing to sell, either  through driving for dollars or direct marketing what is next? Do you find a real estate lawyer to write up a contract? Do I hire a title company? How do you transfer the funds? Since this is something that is normally handled by a real estate agent, I need someone to take me through this process step by step, please.
