Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

About Westchester, NY:- One of the most expensive places in the US, maybe the world- Supply is VERY low- Houses are no less than like $600k-$700k, I'm also getting outbid a lot.- Now Foreclosures may be a good discount but at the same time I already know that there is aLOT more risk to this.I already have a real estate agent, a mortgage broker, and am getting connections to contractors and so forth.My few Questions are:- Do I need a real estate agent in this process for foreclosures?

I highly recommend going to meetups and talking to investors in person. 

Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
