Start investing in digital
'real estate'!
Often, newcomers to domaining might not have the time, resources or experience required for successful domain trading. In many instances these newcomers might find the services of domain name brokers useful.
In general domain name brokers offer domain name listing, promotion, acquiring,
selling and negotiating services on your behalf. This is often a useful service
to make use of and great deals are often brokers through them.
Many domain brokering services do not charge upfront fees for their services and
work on commission only.
Tips on Finding the Right Broker
If you do decide to make use of the services of domain brokers, I want to provide the following tips on deciding upon the best broker to use.
1. Always ensure that the broker specializes in domain brokering, and that this
is not simply an ‘additional’ service offered by them.
2. The broker should have knowledge and experience in the field of the domain
name.
3. Request a list of recent successful domains brokered.
4. Request a quotation upfront. Make sure there are no hidden or additional fees
charged by them. Make sure that the commission fee is acceptable.
5. Determine whether you can use the services of another broker as well for the
same domain(s).
