About MilitaryByOwner

Militarybyowner.com is a search engine that was created to connect military members trying to rent out their properties with members who are stationed away from home. Knowing how difficult it is to build equity on a property when constantly on the move, the creators of militarybyowner.com have worked to bridge the gap between renters and hosts to help create a network that helps all military service members. The site was created with military service members in mind; with low fees, locations near every base (Domestically and Internationally), and a network that supports the mutual benefits that come with militarybyowner.com.

MilitaryByOwner's History

MilitaryByOwner.com was created in 1999 thanks to a father and son's conversation about the disadvantages of moving around a lot in the military. Having served in the armed forces, both men understood what the difficulties are as servicemen and women trying to build equity. To overcome this issue, Dave Gran and his wife Sharon teamed up to create militarybyowner.com. Since being founded, it has helped thousands of American servicemen and women rent their homes in the US and abroad.
