About

VA Battle Buddy was founded with one mission:
To protect veterans navigating the homebuying process—and to elevate the real estate professionals who truly earn their trust.

After serving in the Army and experiencing the devastating effects of predatory lending firsthand, our founder, Jesse Johnson-Brower, realized the industry lacked real accountability.
Too many organizations claim to “support veterans” while failing to educate, advocate, or act with true integrity.

VA Battle Buddy was built to change that.

We are more than a referral network.
We are a certification platform that holds realtors to the highest standards of veteran-first service.
Only realtors who complete our training, take our oath, and pass our vetting process earn the right to carry the Battle Buddy badge.

Why VA Battle Buddy Exists:

• To eliminate the confusion, misinformation, and predatory practices surrounding VA homebuying

• To give veterans a direct path to safe, trusted, and skilled real estate guidance

• To certify and empower realtors who lead with service, not sales

What Makes Us Different:

• We don’t “recommend” everyone—we certify and hold accountable

• We put veterans’ financial interests first—not commissions, not quotas

• We verify every certified realtor and revoke badges when standards aren’t met

• We separate trust from talk with a clear, public verification system

At VA Battle Buddy, veterans and military families find protection, empowerment, and clarity—and realtors find a platform that elevates their brand through integrity, not marketing hype.

This isn’t just a platform.
It’s a promise kept.
