I think sedo and escrow.com can be used to facilitate the transfer process. You can go to any domain registrar (e.g. GoDaddy.com or register.com) and check the current owner. Search for a domain name, then when it tells you that it is unavailable you can look at the whois information, which will show the person owning this domain (this is called whois record). If you are then able to correspond via e-mail to the person on the whois record using the e-mail address on the whois record, then you know you are talking to the real owner.
