Company History

Our Beginning

MilitaryByOwner was the result of a conversation Dave and his father had in 1999 about the difficulties of building equity in a home during a normal military tour and the disadvantages of owning a home for a short period of time. His father asked if the military had a program to link up service members selling or searching for a home, which sparked an idea. Dave and Sharon found many “for sale by owner” websites and realtor websites. What they didn't find was a website that combined the two home selling choices with the focus needed to support military families.

Mission

MilitaryByOwner connects military families with homes for sale or rent near bases across the U.S., Guam, and

Puerto Rico.

 

Our mission is twofold: to help service members and their families find housing that fits their needs—and to give homeowners and landlords a platform to reach them. Whether you're searching for your next home or listing one, MilitaryByOwner delivers a simple, effective experience tailored to the military community.

 

Vision

Our vision for MilitaryByOwner is to be the first place military service members turn to when selling, renting, or finding their next home. By tapping into the powerful network of veterans, active-duty military members, their families, and the communities that support them, we connect buyers, sellers, landlords, and prospective tenants. Through this, we aim to provide a seamless and reliable platform that makes every housing transition easier, while delivering exceptional customer support every step of the way.
