Should I hire a REO Buyer Agent for a Bank Owned Property?

[Nailah Diaz]

Hi,

I've found a property that is owned by U.S. Bank Trust NA. It is not listed on the MLS, should I hire a REO Buyer's Agent to look into finding the REO department so I can purchase? Although I'm a Realtor myself, I don't have experience with REO properties or the process. Just want to get some feedback on what steps to take. It would be a CASH purchase with the Bank.

Thanks for some detailed help!
