Buying a name we already .
Most writing about domain purchases describes a broker trying to reach an owner who may never reply. That is not this. We hold the names, so the only two parties are you and us, and the process is short enough to put on one page.
What you decide, what we handle
Three decisions are yours.
Yours
Whether the name is worth the price to your business. Which registrar it should sit in. When the money moves.
That is the whole list. You do not need to value the name, negotiate against a deadline, or understand registrar mechanics to complete a purchase.
Ours
Confirming we hold the domain and that it is free of any lock that would delay a transfer. Quoting it. Opening the escrow file. Unlocking the name, releasing the authorisation code, and confirming the change of registrant in writing once it lands.
Money
What is charged, and what is not.
- The price of the name
- A single figure, quoted per domain. It reflects the words themselves — how directly they describe a trade, how many businesses could use them, whether the .com is the version customers would guess. Two names that look similar are often priced very differently, and we will explain the reasoning for any name we quote.
- The escrow agent's fee
- A licensed escrow service charges a fee on the transaction, typically a small percentage that falls as the amount rises. We tell you the figure before you commit and you can look it up on the agent's own published schedule. Whether the buyer or the seller pays it is agreed in advance, in writing, along with everything else.
- No commission to us
- We are the owner, not your agent. There is no brokerage percentage, no finder's fee, no success fee and no retainer. Marketplaces commonly take somewhere between seven and fifteen percent from a seller; none of that applies to a name bought directly from its holder.
- No cost to ask
- An enquiry costs nothing and puts nothing in motion. Asking what a name would cost does not reserve it, commit you, or start a clock.
Pace
Fast where it should be, slow where it should be.
A quote comes back within a business day or two of the enquiry. Once a price is agreed, the escrow file and the transfer itself are usually a matter of a few business days, and shorter again when both sides keep the name at the same registrar.
The part that takes longer is your part, and it should. Buying the .com for your trade is a decision that touches marketing, email and, in some businesses, signage. If the answer is not yet, the quote keeps.
Plainly
Things we will not do.
Invent a rival buyer
You will never be told that someone else is looking at the name, that a price expires on Friday, or that the domain is about to be listed somewhere. If we ever say a name has gone, it has gone.
Take money directly
Funds go to a licensed escrow agent and nowhere else. Nobody at this firm will ever send you wire details for a bank account of ours, by email or otherwise. Treat any message that does as fraudulent.
Keep a foot in the door
No leases, no instalment plans that leave us on the registration, no revenue share, no option to buy it back. When it transfers, it is entirely yours.
