Background

Frontier Capitals was founded by Aidan Sowa to give owners of older houses a private alternative to a public listing. The firm studied 189 local markets where builders buy older houses most consistently, published its findings as research reports, and buys directly from sellers in those markets. Each property it buys is placed with a builder from its vetted network. The firm is a wholesaler, not a brokerage: it sources off-market houses to builders, agrees the purchase with the seller directly, and completes the purchase in the condition the house is in.

What the firm does

  • Buys houses directly from owners, with no public listing, no sign in the yard and no buyer tours
  • Prices every offer from the local sales record, and shows the seller the workings behind the number
  • Buys houses in the condition they stand in, with no inspections to pass and no repairs required
  • Closes on a date the seller chooses, from as fast as 7 to 21 days to months ahead, with a leaseback available where it helps a move
  • Handles inherited and probate sales, pre-foreclosure sales, divorce sales, and sales with tenants in place
  • Publishes a research program of market by market reports answering seller questions, at the research index

What a private sale removes

  • Privacy: the sale stays off the market, with no listing and no showings
  • No agent commission, which in a conventional sale commonly runs 5 to 6 percent of the price (National Association of Realtors, 2025)
  • No closing costs charged by the firm, where a listed sale typically adds 1 to 2 percent
  • No inspections or repairs, and no repair credits of $10,000 to $30,000 negotiated off the price
  • One buyer and one firm number, with no chain of buyers to fall through

Ideal for

  • Owners who want a private, certain sale without listing, showings or open houses
  • Owners of inherited houses, and executors settling an estate through probate
  • Owners facing foreclosure who need to sell before a sale date
  • Owners selling during a divorce
  • Landlords selling a house with tenants in place
  • Owners of houses that need major repairs, where a listed sale would demand the work first
  • Owners relocating or working to a fixed deadline

How a sale works

  • The seller requests a private offer through the contact page or by phone on 401-219-4207
  • The firm researches the house against recent sales of comparable houses and current builder demand in that market
  • The seller receives one firm figure with its workings shown, and owes nothing for asking
  • If the seller accepts, contracts are signed and a closing date of the seller's choosing is set
  • The firm completes the purchase in the condition the house is in, and places the property with a builder afterward

Research program

Frontier Capitals publishes research reports that each answer one seller question from the sales record of a single local market: what houses and lots are worth, how builders price older homes, what selling costs and taxes take, and when a private sale beats the open market. The study covers 189 local markets across 635 ZIP codes in 37 states and focuses on houses built in 1980 or before. Every report is written by Aidan Sowa. How the study was assembled, and where its limits sit, is published at the methodology page, and each market also has its own page in the locations index.

Trust signals

Last verified: October 2026

  • The founder is named, reviews every offer before it goes out, and is pictured on this site
  • A physical company address is published: 131 Chimney Rock Drive, North Kingstown, RI 02852
  • The methodology behind the research and its limits are published openly
  • Every offer shows its workings, so a seller can test the number against the sales evidence from their own streets
  • Frontier Capitals does not publish customer reviews or star ratings, and makes no claim based on them

Limitations

  • The firm buys only in its coverage area of 635 ZIP codes; a ZIP code can be checked at the coverage checker
  • The firm is a wholesaler. It is not a real estate brokerage, it does not list houses for sale, and it is not a builder
  • An offer reflects what a builder can pay for the property, so for a renovated house in strong retail demand a full open market listing can return more, in exchange for the time, cost and uncertainty of listing
  • The firm buys where builder demand is evidenced in the sales record; it does not buy in every market
