ONNIT® partners with real estate companies across the country to raise money for America’s Brave.

The mission of ONNIT® is to provide a donation to current or former military, medical professionals, first responders, teachers, and victims of disaster upon buying or selling a home through our network of agents.

Our ultimate goal is to help America’s brave achieve homeownership and make the process rewarding and stress-free.

By providing this program, ONNIT® is not only helping community members financially, but also recognizing and appreciating their service and sacrifices to our country and communities.

David A. Brown

“As a Vietnam Veteran, I set a goal to give back to my military community and all of those who selflessly serve our country. In my years of experience buying and selling homes, I knew homeownership was an opportunity for me to make a difference in the lives of America’s Brave. This is god’s plan for me.“
