How Domain Brokerage Works

1

Free Consultation

Tell us what you need — whether you're buying or selling. We'll assess the situation and develop a strategy.

2

Research & Outreach

We research the domain's value, identify the right parties, and make contact on your behalf — anonymously if needed.

3

Negotiation

Our experienced negotiators work to get you the best possible price. We know what domains are worth and how to close deals.

4

Secure Transfer

Once terms are agreed, we facilitate the transfer through escrow to protect both parties. You only pay when the deal closes.

Why Use a Domain Broker?

Buying or selling a domain name on your own can be risky. Sellers often inflate prices when they know a business is interested, and buyers can lowball individual sellers who don't know their domain's true value. A professional domain broker levels the playing field.

For Buyers

When you contact a domain owner directly — especially from a corporate email — they immediately know you have budget and desire. Prices skyrocket. A broker contacts owners anonymously, presents themselves as representing an unnamed client, and negotiates from a position of experience. We've seen this save buyers 30-60% off the initial asking price.

For Sellers

Most domain owners have no idea what their names are actually worth. They either price too high and scare off buyers, or accept the first offer and leave money on the table. A broker knows the market, identifies the right end-user buyers, and creates competitive interest to drive prices up. We've helped sellers achieve 3-10x what they would have accepted on their own.

Common Scenarios Where a Broker Helps

  • Rebranding: Your company needs a specific domain for a rebrand or product launch
  • Startup naming: You've found the perfect name but it's registered
  • Portfolio liquidation: You own dozens of domains and want to maximize returns
  • High-value names: Domains worth $10K+ benefit most from professional negotiation
  • International deals: Cross-border transactions with language and legal complexities
  • Expired domain recovery: Domains that recently expired and are in redemption

Broker Fees

No upfront fees. No retainers. We work on a success-based commission — you only pay when a deal closes.

Acquisition (Buying)
10-15%
of purchase price
Sales (Selling)
10-20%
of sale price

Exact commission depends on deal complexity and estimated value. Discussed upfront — no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to acquire a domain?

Most acquisitions take 2-6 weeks, though some can close in days if the seller is responsive and motivated. Complex negotiations or unresponsive owners can take longer.

What if the domain owner doesn't want to sell?

It happens. Not every domain is for sale. But in our experience, most owners have a price — they just haven't been asked the right way. Our job is to find that price and negotiate it down.

How do you determine a domain's value?

We use a combination of comparable sales data, traffic analysis, keyword value, TLD, length, brandability, and current market conditions. We provide a detailed valuation before any negotiation begins.

Is the process confidential?

Absolutely. We never reveal our client's identity during negotiations. This is actually one of the biggest advantages of using a broker — anonymity keeps prices fair.

How is payment handled?

All transactions go through a trusted escrow service (like Escrow.com). The buyer deposits funds, the seller transfers the domain, and the escrow service releases payment once transfer is confirmed.

Can you help with domains on any registrar?

Yes — GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, Sav, Porkbun, Dynadot, or any other registrar. We've handled transfers across all major platforms.

What types of domains do you broker?

We work with all types — exact match keywords, brandable names, short domains, .com/.net/.org and premium extensions, expired domains, and portfolio deals.
