Domain Name Brokers - Information and Resources
posted on 03 Jun 2008 08:52 by domain-registration in How-ToDomain name brokers can help you find a buyer for your domain name... but success rate will depend on many factors, including the desirability of the name and the number of potential buyers the broker can expose your name to.
Brokers connect buyers and sellers of domain names. Most brokers facilitate these transactions through an automated online listing or auction service, although others work on an individual basis with buyers and sellers. While sellers can often list their names for free, most brokerages earn commissions on any sales, generally 5% to %20 of the purchase price paid by the seller.
In addition, most larger domain brokers provide an escrow service which holds purchase funds from the buyer in a trust account until the official transfer of ownership has been completed and verified. Brokers may charge between $100 and $300 for this service and in many cases the service can be used independent of the listing or auction services.
Many brokers also provide free parking for domain name sellers and fee-based appraisal services to assess the value of a particular name.
