TESTIMONIALS

Wright-Patterson AFB (Beavercreek, OH) - Thanks!! I used this site and the base housing office only. You guys were very helpful and the house is now rented. I will pass on this site to everyone I know. Andy

Norfolk Naval Station (Chesapeake, VA) - Thank you for offering such a great website. I found it to be very useful and accommodating in leasing our house. Setting up the ad on MilitaryByOwner's website was very easy. I will recommend this website to others. Steve

Oceana Naval Air Station (Virginia Beach) - I was very pleased with the response I got from MilitaryByOwner.com. I received several good inquiries. Your process was painless and productive. Thanks for all your help. Best wishes! Dave

32nd Street Naval Station (Chula Vista) - Dear David, The ad in MilitaryByOwner.com worked great for me. Everyone I know asked how did you do that. Of course I told them MilitaryByOwner.com. I will definitely use your service in the future and tell everyone I know. Thank You! Renee

32nd Street Naval Station (San Diego) - To all military families and Realtors who are working with military families, USE THIS SITE!! It increases the chances of selling your home to another military family. Military families have special needs and its always easier if you have someone else who understands the difficulties involved in moving a military family. Christian

Pentagon (Clifton, VA) - THANKS MBO! You're guys and gals were a huge help! I placed ads in local newspapers and on other sites, and all of them combined did not receive the response that MBO did. I asked everyone who contacted me where they'd heard about our house. Even with a $big ad in the Washington Post, more than 85% of the responses came from MBO! I'm really glad I went with the "Home Tour Plus" package, because the signs in the yard and corner pulled in a lot of calls as well as neighbors sending out word-of-mouth! And it was a LOT less than paying a moths rent to real estate company! I have a great military family moving into my house and not only am I confident that the house will be treated well, but I think this is the start of a great friendship! I'll be using and recommending MBO again and again! Thanks a million! Karen

Fort Bragg (Sanford, NC) - We could not have rented it without your website, we rented it in less than a week. We will hand out the fliers that you sent to everyone we know and we will be using you in the future. Mark

Wright-Patterson AFB (Centerville, OH) - Wow! We sold our house in 2 weeks. I will defiantly recommend Militarybyowner.com to my friends. Amy and Phil

Fort Belvoir (Springfield, VA) - Yes! It's true! It's true! Dave, we found out what people say here is true. We were a little hesitant, at first, to place an ad on your site (we had never heard of it before, and found it by accident while surfing the web). But after reading the "about us" page, reading the testimonials on this site, and most importantly after 3 weeks with no inquiries when listed with a realtor, my husband and I decided to give it a go. Wow! What a response. Within 24 hours of posting our ad, we starting having inquires. By the first week's end, we had several e-mail and phone call inquiries (we had people contacting us from as far away as Germany and Italy). By the end of week two, we had a lease pending. People were still contacting us as late as week four even though our ad showed lease pending. (And yes, the pending lease was approved, and we have renters). Listing here with your site helped get our house rented. Thanks for your help. This is a great service you developed. Keep up the good work. -- Paula

Camp Lejeune (Hubert, NC) - I was incredibly impressed with MilitaryByOwner's response to my listing as well as the way in which it was portrayed on the website. There were no problems whatsoever with the ad. Every time I contacted the company, I received a prompt response, and I was completely satisfied with the information provided me. The best part is our house was immediately rented out (within the initial days of the listing)! I will definitely list our house with this company the next time we have to rent it, and I would recommend MilitaryByOwner to everyone. Thank you! Debbi

Pentagon (Arlington, VA) - Your site is the greatest! I had intended to use additional means of advertising my home, but I got such immediate results from my ad here that I had no time - or reason - to advertise anywhere else. Besides saving me lots of ad money, and getting me a lease with a wonderful military family, your service took a huge chunk of stress out of my life. I'm so grateful for this site and wholeheartedly recommend it. Liz

MacDill AFB (Valrico, FL) - We are very pleased with the outstanding service that you have provided and will strongly recommend you to anyone in this market. Thanks for the great support -- we have received numerous requests and have rented our home to a wonderful military family - thanks much! DC

Fort Belvoir (Springfield, VA) - MilitaryByOwner is a simple, effective way to rent out your house. It took me about 15 minutes to list my home on the website, and within a day I got several responses. By the weekend, I had 4 appointments for people to see my home. My home was rented in about 2 weeks time. The cost was minimal and well worth it. Thanks MilitaryByOwner! Myrna M. from Springfield, VA

MCAS Miramar (Rancho Penasquitos - San Diego, CA) - We would like to thank you for your service. We had our home listed for rent in the local newspaper and with a property management company and didn't have anywhere close to the responses that we received from your website. Plus, we understand how difficult it is to find a place to live when the military is sending you somewhere and you don't have time to travel to that destination first. We are very pleased about your service and look forward to being on the other end of the transaction in the future when we need to rent a place. Mike & Julie

Pentagon (Montclair, VA) - What a great service militarybyowner.com is. We had over 1200 people look at our website; where else can you advertise and get that kind of exposure? As a military family, I would have loved to have known about it when we moved. This website helps military families move unlike any other resource I have found out there. It has been a fabulous experience and we will use them again when we rent out our next house. Thank you! Diane

Fort Bragg (Fayetteville, NC) - This site is an invaluable tool for selling your house in a military "sell by owner" community. I couldn't keep up with the phone calls and email hits. People still contacted me after the house was under contract. Customer service is excellent. A very small investment for a huge payoff. Tom.

Andrews AFB (Bowie, MD) - Using MilitaryByOwner.com was the greatest money spent. I had great response to my ad. The price of using your service is a great value. Running an ad for as long as needed for such a low price can't be matched by any media outlet that is available. My overall experience has been great. I had exposure that no one could match. The ease of use, price and response made this a refreshing experience in today's complicated environment. Thank you. Don

Fort Stewart (Hinesville, GA) - I have used this site twice. Each time I have used it the service has been outstanding and my house received more than a 1000 hits in a 30 day period. It has never taken longer than 30 days to rent my house once it was on your site and I had many tenants to choose from. Thanks. Eric

Fort Meade (Columbia, MD) - I found your service to be very easy to use, affordable, and most importantly, effective! I had never heard of the web site until a few months ago, so I decided to give it a try. I had a lot of response to the ad, and will pass this on to others. I simultaneously placed an ad in the Ft. Meade housing office, and received no calls. I really had no issues I could share--everything went according to plan:) Jackie

MCAS Miramar (Ramona, CA) - San Diego, CA The email interest I received from your website for my house in SD for rent was astounding! I got somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 email during a 5 day listing. My house is rented! If I am ever relocated away from SD, I am sure I will be able to rent our house through advertising on your website. Thanks again, great idea for the website. Dean

Fort Belvoir (Alexandria, VA) - This is the third time I have used MilitaryByOwner and found the responses to be tremendous. This is an extremely valuable tool for military families….especially for rentals. I plan on using them for two properties I will list within the next four months. Great Service! Great Website! Glenn and Elli

Fort Belvoir (Woodbridge, VA) - " No muss nor fuss, militarybyowner.com listed our home and found a new tenant for us. Others tried and failed but militarybyowner.com prevailed. Forget the old paper advertising methods, and get on board with militarybyowner.com. It is a winner for all every time." Del & Pat

Pentagon (Fairfax, VA) - Dear Dave, Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with MBO. I learned about your service from a street sign that was posted in my neighborhood and am glad we checked it out. The process was quick and painless and we found a quality renter for our home in less than 30 days! We highly recommend your site to anyone looking to rent or sell their home. Sincerely, Pia (Fairfax, VA)

Fort Bragg (Cameron, NC) - This is a great site. The new owners found our home on your website. We did list with an agent only because we did not have the time to handle the details ourselves. Our home sold in exactly 3 weeks!! The majority of the folks who visited our home found it on MBO. I'd recommend that any military member renting or selling should list their home here if only for the added exposure. There was much more information available on this site as opposed to the realtor's listing. We can highly recommend this site!! Thanks for everything, Kate

Charleston AFB (Charleston, SC) - My testimonial is that if you really want to supercharge your property's visibility with other military folks getting churned through the PCS system, this is an outstanding service and is very affordable. I will most certainly use this again when I market my home for sale, and to look for a home at my next base. Tony

Lemoore NAS (Hanford, CA) - We are happy to announce that we now have our house rented. Because of your ad, we received numerous inquiries. We had placed our ad in different places, but everyone that called was because they had seen our house on your website. Thanks for all of your help. You may now officially take our ad out of the website or at least put a "rented" sign on it. Rey & Norma

Camp Lejeune (Hubert, NC) - Thanx so much! The ad did so well! By the time the weekend was here I had so many phone calls and tons of e-mails. I never in a million years thought it would do so well. I had it rented by Sunday. I have already let everyone that I work with know about this website and how well it worked. Once again THANK YOU!! Jennifer

Naval Station San Diego (Chula Vista, CA) - David and Sharon, Thank you for the great service you provided. The response to our ad was very successful. There were a lot more responses from your website than our ad from a regional San Diego newspaper. As a matter of fact the ratio was probably 10:1 in your favor compared to the SD newspaper. Additionally, my target crowd was mostly 90% accurate. I preferred helping my fellow military personnel because I knew the pains associated with military move. EJ

MCB Quantico (Stafford, VA) - Dear Dave, We really appreciate your service. Our home near Quantico was rented on the first day of our ad appearing on your site. We used a few pictures and it really helped! We are also using a property management company and they had told us that an up-scale house such as ours would take at least a month to rent on the MLS listings. They were stunned when we called them to tell them we had already found a renter going through your site. Please up-date our listing to rented. We waited until we had a signed lease to contact you but your service is outstanding! Thank you. Joan

Maxwell AFB (Prattville, AL) - My property in Prattville, AL (near Maxwell AFB) has been rented. We had an outstanding response rate after placing an ad on your webpage—no less than 15 interested parties within the first week. Feel free to use this testimonial anyway you want. You can bet I’ll use your service next time I need to fill one of my rental properties. Please update our ad to show it is rented and no longer available. Thanks a million, Andy

Andrews AFB (Dunkirk, MD) - Thanks... My house in Dunkirk, MD rented in 48 hours after being posted on your web site. Please show it as rented. Great web page...great service. David

NAS Fallen (Fernley, NV) - Military by Owner is a highly recommended website for trying to sell/rent your home. We love that it keeps us in touch with other military families around the world who need updated and accurate information on homes when they are relocating. I have already recommended this site to others who are transferring to new areas. This site worked for us and we are positive it will work for you!! Chris & Allison

Maxwell AFB (Wetumpka, AL) - We had response to our add within the first few hours of it being posted and had the house leased within a week. I strongly recommend placing pictures on the site. It is worth the difference in money. When people talked to me they said that seeing the pictures made them willing to rent the house without even seeing it in person. I found the Web Master very quick to respond in making corrections to my site. I will recommend this sight to others. I have already told my bother who will be listing his home in a few months. Tammy

Camp Lejeune (Richlands, NC) - Hi Dave, thank you so much for your web site, I had this property listed with two property management companies, It was listed for one year with each company. With your web site, Military by owner, I received more inquiries in 30 days than the Real Estate Companies did in 2 years, plus the house was leased prior to the end of 30 days, and there was no 10% finders fee or 10% commission to pay to the real estate companies, therefore, I was able to charge the tenant $75.00 less per month for the rent and still saved $75.00 for a finders fee. Thanks again for your web site, and pls. take the subject property off your list because IT RENTED IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS WITH NO COMMISSION TO PAY ANYONE !!!!! You may use this this letter as a reference letter if you would like to. Dorothy

Fort Hood (Temple, TX) - I received a response very quickly, the first person who answered my ad actually found your website thru a google.com search. Also, happily for me that same person has now signed the contract and lease. Thank you for all of your help. By the way, we like your site so much we also found the house that we will rent this summer. Thanks for the help, Chris

MCB Quantico, VA - David, Thank you for helping us. The response to the ad was very good, even though it took a little while to rent the house. We ended up having two different people put in applications the same day, one was a militarybyowner contact and the other was from an ad we put in the paper. We went with the people who saw our ad in the paper because they were already in the area (staying in a hotel) and needed a place immediately. The militarybyowner contact was still in Colorado and had not even seen the house in person. He’d only seen pictures and was ready to rent. We advertised one weekend in the Freelance Star and had our house listed in the MLS. We had a better response from the militarybyowner ad than the other advertisements. We would definitely use your website to advertise again if and when the need arises. We liked the response we got from the ad. We also liked that you responded quickly to our questions and when we needed to make changes to the ad. Thanks again, Tiffany and Joe

Whispering Pines, NC - We had an immediate response to our ad. Our renters were the second ones to contact us on the second day of the ad. MilitaryByOwner was the only form of advertising we used and will be the only form of advertising we use in the future!!! Using MilitaryByOwner has been a positive experience. Two of my friends placed an ad with MilitaryByOwner after telling them how easy it was to rent our home. Thank you again for your time and efforts with MilitaryByOwner. We will be using you again in two years when the lease on our home expires! Sincerely, Lara

Dumfries, VA - Response was good. I received emails as well as phone calls. About two to three a week for the life of the ad. Given the location of the property, I consider this response o be very good. I did not rent to a contact from the web site. The current tenant, who was moving early, also was trying to find a replacement tenant and advertised in the local paper. This is where the new tenant came from. It was the owner who placed the ad, a Marine Major. Only thing I'd do differently is also place a photo of the property along with the text. Otherwise, I think the site is fantastic! As far as my experience with the site, I went online to check it out and was immediately impressed with how easy it was to navigate, and how well designed it was. I was able to get to my state, county, and ad very easily and quickly, even with a standard dial-up connection. James

Arlington, VA - David, I have rented my property to another MilitaryByOwner customer. Thanks for the great website and superior service. Please place a "Rented" banner on the property. Thank you. Brian

Landover, MD - I had initially planned to advertise to several resources. MilitaryByOwner website provided so many responses the first week, I felt the need to advertise elsewhere was unnecessary. By the end of the first month I had a tenant. Thanks for making it so easy for us!! Duane and Alisa. Landover Maryland.

Fort Bragg, NC - A friend recommended I try Militarybyowner.com; that was some of the best advice I have ever been given. I had people contacting me within a day of the ad going on-line and had it rented within a few weeks. Thanks. Gilbert

Springfield, VA - We have rented our property we have listed with you. Wow what a difference it made putting the larger ad in instead of the basic! Marsha

Fort Bragg - The home that I had listed for rent or sale has been rented. It took less than a week! Thank you for your help. Jeremy

Anchorage, AK - The response was great. We did find a renter through the ad, so it has proven to be a great resource. We will use you in the future, definitely! Denise

Fayetteville, NC - Thank you so much for your helpful website. We got a military renter that is PCSing from Korea. Gina

Georgia - We have just rented our property out. Thanks to MilitaryByOwner for the assistance. Please list my property as rented. Thanks again, and I will be sure to let others no about the remarkable service that MilitaryByOwner provides. Carlie and Amber

Quantico, VA - Sharon, The response I had was great! Within a few days I had six replies. As the wife of an active duty Marine who is currently serving elsewhere, thanks for the service you provide! Jill

Springfield, VA - All response that I had came from your on line service. I had it listed with Ft Belvoir and surrounding bases, on line, and one time in the Washington Post. I had people from as far as WI and England e-mail me. Many told me that they used your service because they wanted to rent from military families. I ended up renting to a wonderful couple who were former military, her husband saw the ad on line. Thanks so much, I will recommend you to all. Vivian

Montclair, VA - Please update my ad reflect that it is RENTED. Thanks for a great service. I also had it listed with a realtor and received absolutely no showings. But I received quite a few hits from your service and found the renter via your service. I think it's a great tool. I wished I'd found out about it sooner. I learned about it through word-of-mouth. Anyway... thanks again for helping me to find a renter. Nancy

Fayetteville, NC - Our house in Fayetteville has been rented directly as a result of the use of your website. Thanks! Julie

Chesapeake, VA - Yes, Our house has been rented and we found one for us to rent on your site. Thank you so very much. We have shared your site with our friends and we hope to use it again in the future. Tanya

Fayetteville, NC - I placed an ad on your site and the results were fantastic. I would definitely use your services in the future. Colleen

Hope Mills, NC - Great news...our home sold within a week. We have received lots of feedback via your site. Thanks a bunch. You can take our listing off of the website or post a big "SOLD" on it...giggle... Gina
