Domain Buyer Broker Service

"Rob was instrumental in finding the domain owner and negotiating the purchase of a highly valuable geodomain on behalf of my company. Hiring the services of a well known broker like Rob gave me the confidence that I would be getting the domain I want, at a fair price.

I would definitely recommend Rob´s services to anybody looking for a fair and secure domain purchase."

My specialty is acting as a domain buyer broker for my clients. 

Let me contact and deal with the current owner of your target domain on your behalf. Let me use my many years of negotiation experience to acquire the domain you want. 

I have helped individuals, small businesses, investors and publicly traded corporations acquire the domain names they desired for development, marketing, investment and strategic business reasons.

I have been brokering domains for many years, have extensive knowledge of this industry and a large network of contacts. In many cases I have known the owner of the target domain enabling me to negotiate a favorable deal for my client.

If you are looking for a broker to SELL your domain names, read about my Domain Broker service and Pro-Active Marketing service.

How it works

I will need to know about your reasons for acquisition and history with the target domain's current owner so we can discuss the strategy, budget and urgency of acquisition. I then research the following characteristics of the target domain:

• Current and past use

• Current and past registrants

• Search engine placement

• Pay per click rates of related keywords

• Keyword popularity

• Industry analysis

• Estimated valuation of target domain

• Availability of complementary domain names

• Likelihood of acquisition and many other factors as seen in my Domain Name Valuation process

Next, if I feel I can acquire the target domain within your budget, we then sign a short contract outlining the terms of my buyer broker service, your obligations and maximum purchase price. I then plan my negotiation strategy based on our discussion, my research, current use of the domain and knowledge of the registrant and state of the domain market.

I then contact the current registrant and begin the negotiation process. In many cases I either know the registrant or can network my way in to the registrant sometimes even when the whois information is privacy protected.

There are no fees due unless I can purchase the target domain name for you. My commission is HALF the difference between the actual purchase price and the maximum purchase price agreed to in the contract. For example, if the client wants to pay no more than $5000 for a target domain and I can broker a deal to buy it for $2000, then the client pays the $2000 actual purchase price plus HALF the difference of the $3000 spread. In this scenario, the client agreed to pay a maximum of $5000 but only has to pay $3500 ($2000 purchase price plus 50% of $3000 difference which is $1500).

I use this commission pricing structure instead of a fixed commission structure because a fixed commission pays higher as the purchase price increases. Therefore a fixed commission structure could lead to a conflict of interest where the client may question the broker's motivation to keep the purchase price low.

This is a win/win/win business deal and it doesn't get any better than that! The registrant has a sale, the buyer has acquires the target domain for less than maximum budget and the broker gets paid.

Note: A minimum commission of 10% is required. From the example above, if I have to pay $5000, the client will have to pay $5500.
