A private purchase of your house
The core service is a direct purchase. Frontier Capitals agrees a firm price with you, buys the house in the condition it stands in, and completes on the date you choose. There is no public listing, no sign in the yard, no showings and no chain of buyers to fall through. The offer is a single number with its workings shown, so you can test it against the recent sales evidence from your own streets before you decide. Accepting costs nothing and obliges you to nothing until contracts are signed.
A closing date built around you
Timing is part of the service. A purchase can close as fast as 7 to 21 days when a quick move is what you need. It can equally sit months ahead when you need time to find your next home, settle an estate or finish a school year, and a leaseback can be arranged where staying on briefly after closing helps the move. The date is set by your circumstances, not by a listing timetable.
Pricing from the sales record
Every offer starts with research. The firm has studied 189 local markets across 635 ZIP codes in 37 states, examining recent sales of older houses and recording how often a builder was the buyer, what new houses on similar lots nearby achieved, and what a builder would deduct for construction cost, carrying cost and return. That evidence is what prices your house, and the methodology behind it is published on this site. The resulting figure is the price the firm can actually complete at, not an opening bid.
Sales in difficult situations
A large part of the work is helping owners whose sale carries a complication. That includes inherited houses and estates in probate, where several heirs may need to agree and the property may sit far from where any of them live. It includes owners facing foreclosure who need a sale completed before a deadline. It includes divorce, where a clean and prompt division matters more than squeezing the last dollar from a long listing. It includes houses needing major repairs, houses with tenants in place, and owners who simply cannot face months of preparation and viewings. In each case the process is the same: one private buyer, one firm number, a date that fits the situation.
What it costs
There is no agent commission, which in a conventional sale still commonly runs to 5 to 6 percent of the price (National Association of Realtors, 2025). There are no seller closing charges from the firm, where a listed sale typically adds a further 1 to 2 percent. And because the house is bought as it stands, there are no inspection contingencies and no repair credits of $10,000 to $30,000 negotiated off the price after an offer is accepted. The number agreed is the number paid, less only any liens or taxes the property itself carries.
Where we work
The service runs across 635 ZIP codes in 37 states, in the 189 local markets where the research shows builders buying older houses most consistently. Coverage follows builder demand and is reviewed as that demand shifts, so an area just outside the current list is still worth a conversation. Run your ZIP code through the coverage checker for an immediate answer.
