Who we are, how we found you, and how to check us or stop hearing from us.
Quick answer: if you got a call, text or letter from River Capital, it's most likely because public records connect you to a property. We're a private company that buys houses, including houses with title problems. You don't have to reply, you never pay us anything, and you can ask us to stop at any time.
River Capital LLC is a small, owner-run company. I'm Brandon Wielenga, and I'm the person handling your file. We're a young company, and you can read more about me and the company. We aren't a government office, a law firm, a bank or a real estate brokerage, and we don't collect debts.
We look through public records, such as property tax lists, deed records, court and probate filings, and published notices. If an owner has died, those records can point to family members who may have inherited an interest in the house, even if nobody has told them.
Records can be wrong or out of date. If we have the wrong person or the wrong facts, please tell us.
We buy houses, so we have a business interest in this. It's fair to weigh what we say with that in mind. We'll also tell you your other options, such as paying the taxes, working with your lender, listing with a realtor, or keeping the property.
If this reached you after losing someone, we're sorry. There's no deadline from us, though a county or court may have its own, so it's worth checking those yourself.
If someone using our name does any of these, please call us at (605) 206-3724 before you do anything else.
Tell us on the call, reply STOP to a text, or email manager@rivercapital-llc.com with your name and the property address. We'll remove you from our list, and there are no hard feelings.

Not when we first contact you, and never to give you an offer. If you later choose to sell, a title company handles what's needed for closing. Don't give sensitive details to anyone who pressures you for them.
