Easily Find Homes for Sale or Rent Near Military Bases From Your iPhone
STAFFORD, Va., Dec. 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MilitaryByOwner
Advertising, Inc. is a national leader of online real estate
advertising to the military community. Today they announced the launch
of their home finder application that will allow MilitaryByOwner
customers to search for homes near military bases from their mobile
devices.
"With the increased demand and popularity of mobile applications, we
felt that providing our customers with the ability to search for homes
and contact home advertisers was the next logical step in our desire to
make frequent military relocations easier for military personnel and
their families," explains David Gran, President of MilitaryByOwner
Advertising, Inc.
Mobile apps were originally intended for use with calendars, email and
personal contacts. However, with advancements in developer tools as
well as public demand, mobile applications broadened their reach into
the realm of banking, gaming and mapping tools.
"Military families often have a small window of time to procure housing
prior to relocation, turning to their mobile devices to search for
homes during house hunting trips. Our app will allow users to search
our expansive database of homes through the selection of the military
installation they will be based at, just as they can on our website,"
explains Gran. "Incorporating the same advanced features we have on our
site into the app will afford the user the flexibility to narrow their
search down to homes that fit their specific needs."
Key components of the MilitaryByOwner app include the option to search
for homes for sale or rent near more than 300 military communities.
Users will be able to contact property advertisers directly by phone or
email, save searches and favorite homes. Customers can utilize
MilitaryByOwner.com to create custom searches, which can then be
accessed through the app when they are on location actively house
hunting. The added mapping interface will assist users in plotting the
location of homes they are interested in as well as allowing them to
see all homes that may be for sale or for rent near their current
location through GPS functionality.
The app is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5,
iPod Touch (3rd, 4th and 5th generation) and iPad (iOS 5.0 or later).
This app is optimized for iPhone 5. Release of a Droid compatible
version is anticipated for the near future.
David and Sharon Gran founded MilitaryByOwner Advertising, Inc. in
2000. At that time David was active duty in the USMC, he and his family
were moving from Germany to the states and recognized a need for
assisting relocating military families.
MilitaryByOwner Advertising, Inc. has experienced consistent growth
each year since 2000. In September 2010, MilitaryByOwner Advertising,
Inc. was added to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list, a compendium of the
most entrepreneurial and fastest-growing private companies in America.
The website provides a great resource for relocating military families
to advertise their homes, for sale or for rent, located near a US
military base, in addition to finding housing at their next duty
station. With a staff that is primarily comprised of military spouses
or dependents, they can relate to the joy and stress of a military
move.
