You can give them the parameters you want to search for (age of home, absentee owners, years of ownership, geographic area, floorplan, etc) and they'll do the rest.

I typed up a long thing then went back and read theirs and same suggestions.Ask for agents in a particular area here on BPLocal REIA meetingsFind agents who invest themselvesFind agents who have a track record of serving other investors

THis is the default clause in the california lease written for Agents. 

The more normal scenario is for agents to try to convert them to regular listings.Also I've heard some agents say that working with FSBO owners is very frustrating, one who's a good friend told me "it's twice the work for half the money", because you have to do everything the buyer's and seller's agent would do, but you're not getting paid for all of that.Off market deals are good if you can get them, but they take time and persistence to find and negotiate.
