Using MilitaryByOwner to Advertise Your Home for Sale

With one simple click on an ad package, you'll have all the tools needed to make your listing a “must-see.” These advertising options fulfill a wide variety of traditional and For Sale By Owner (FSBO) marketing needs.
Anyone, including non-military members, can list a home on MilitaryByOwner, whether you're working with a real estate agent or selling as a FSBO. We have the perfect advertising options, including yard signs, virtual tours, and posted open house dates to show off your home’s best features and selling points. It's easy to follow a budget-friendly path to marketing your home with one of our three dynamic advertising packages, helping you get ready to sell your house.
Home Tour Plus
The Home Tour Plus package is MilitaryByOwner's most comprehensive marketing package to showcase your home and allows sellers to add 40 photos. That’s an incredible way to spotlight a home from different photography angles. An abundance of high-quality pictures will make a buyer feel like they’ve taken a tour of the house from the comfort of their laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
This package keeps an ad in view for up to 180 days to maximize exposure on the market and also includes optional For Sale By Owner (or For Rent By Owner) yard signs, along with the option to include floor plans, open house dates, or a virtual tour.
Describing the details of your home might require several paragraphs of text. Never fear and embrace your inner word nerd! With the Home Tour Plus, you’ll have up to 5,000 characters (roughly 500 words) to grab the attention of a home shopper and further pique their interest.
While scrolling through property listings, buyers can feel overwhelmed by the long list. You’ll avoid the shopper overwhelm because your listing is placed at the highest posting position. Also, your ad could be posted on not just one, but three military installation pages. That’s a big plus if there are several military bases in the area, such as in areas like Washington, DC; San Antonio, Texas; or the Hampton Roads area in Virginia.

Your Home Tour ad is introduced to home shoppers on the listing page of the nearest military installation. As you’re writing the house’s description, consider including the dimensions of each space. By adding room-by-room measurements, a buyer's daydreams can seem more realistic, helping them picture where to place their belongings.

Your ad will be shown for 45 days on a MilitaryByOwner base listing page.
