Has anyone on the site performed a transaction that required it? 

Find an investor-friendly agent in your area — some RE pros specialize in foreclosure, so if after research you're confident that that's the way you want to go, I would find one who can work with you and help guide and represent you in your next transaction. 

Good day Bigger Pockets Fam,Has anyone here ever done a For Sale By Owner transaction, and if so, I wanted to hear about your experience and how easy/complicated it was to close that deal without using an agent.

@Benjamin ColemanRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I'll fully admit, I have zero experience in dealing with tax auction transactions with my client base, but this is an excellent question, so...

@Wayne Poisson Banks will be limited on the amount of products they have to offer for this type of transaction.

I have worked on many transactions involving Estates and looking to build a relationship with attorneys and provide my expertise.

This quick and profitable transaction highlighted our efficient investment strategy and the strength of our partnership with Mark Raby.

But, unfortunately there was nothing I could do to help her because I had no connection with the original agents or parties in the transaction and the other party had already taken legal action.
