When It Makes Sense to Hire a Domain Broker
The best time to hire a domain broker is if you need to quickly acquire a premium domain name while remaining hidden during the acquisition, are having trouble finding the owner, and need to hit a specific budget without getting exhorted on price.
Domain name sales are a lot like real estate but also vastly different. The sale price is not set by an official domain name appraisal process, set pricing, or by comparable sales of similar names. The concept of “fair price” or getting a fair deal is not in play without a broker. Most of the time, you are trying to buy a domain from someone that does not want to sell. The domain owner can literally set any price or flat-out refuse to sell the domain if he does not like you.
A domain broker is a valuable asset on your team to educate and provide trust to the seller. Reputable domain brokers should always be used, especially for a premium domain.
A domain broker service ensures a private, seamless domain transaction and transfer process with Whois privacy service enabled to your domain registration company account. This continues the protection of your identity as the buyer after the purchase and transfer.
Here are the top five reasons to use Media Options as your domain broker.
- You can remain anonymous and undetectable when using our service.
- A domain broker provides anonymity for the buyer. It is essential that the domain owner does not have valuable information about your company, such as how much capital you raised or your revenue. Any information provided to the domain owner during the negotiation process can dramatically increase the price of the domain.
- Our success in domain name negotiations and acquisitions gives buyers an advantage.
- We have extensive experience buying domains from individuals, companies, and large organizations. We have turned the toughest domain owners into domain sellers.
- Transactions can easily fall apart at the finish line due to negligence in the due diligence process, negotiating, or slow transaction processing. Media Options has a flawless record and walks the buyer and seller through every step until the domain is transferred.
Our expertise and established contracts guarantee that the transaction is successful, resulting in a satisfactory experience for all involved.
- We keep the negotiations focused and the emotions out.
- Employing our domain brokerage services will create a buffer between you and the owner, enabling us to draw upon our experience in completing deals without involving emotions.
- Many domain name owners are emotionally invested in their domain, allowing more flexibility in conversations from a domain broker than the potential buyer. This allows us to inform them on domain values and why your offer is in their best interest to accept.
- Our reputation creates trust with decision-makers
- For successful domain sales, there must be mutual trust between the domain owner and the buyer to ensure the offer is legitimate. Media Options provides an additional layer of trust to facilitate domain transfers. Domain owners can easily research and access our award-winning services as a top domain brokerage firm.
- Domain buyers leverage our contacts with over 30,000 companies
- We maintain the most comprehensive list and database of current owners, decision-makers, and historical sales worldwide. This list enables us to get your offer in front of the owner and often start negotiating within days of reaching out.
There is no MLS for domains, but we know how to locate hard-to-reach owners.
- We ensure a flawless transfer of your domain name.
- The domain is not yours until it is in your account. We work with the buyer and seller during every step to ensure a flawless domain name transfer.
Valuation Services with our Domain Broker
There is no automated service or domain appraisal tool to determine the value of a domain name. The domain owner solely determines the list price, even if it is available for acquisition. The pricing structure can be based on market comparisons similar to real estate, search traffic, or experience from past sales. There are wide ranges of prices based on quality.
A seasoned domain broker like Media Options with a pulse on the market and insight into the type of owner can provide budget ranges for selling and buying a domain name.
Make sure to reach out to us early in your internal discussions so that your team has an accurate picture of the price and budget needed to acquire your dream domain name.
Stealth Domain Acquisitions
Our stealth acquisition process allows you to stay anonymous while we use our networks to get you the perfect domain of your choice. Your identity will remain anonymous and private throughout the negotiation process and the transaction’s closing. We will have 100% transparency during the negotiation and escrow process.
Determining Domain Value
We employ a specialized formula to calculate an estimated budget and price range for your domain name. This ensures accuracy in the budgeting process. Our domain pricing guide will provide more information about valuing a domain name.

A domain broker will provide support to both the buyer and seller throughout the transaction.
Domain Broker for Name Transfer and Deal Closure
Once we have reached an agreement for the purchase of your domain name, we will expediently begin the transfer transaction process. You will have access to our standard domain name purchase and sales contract, ensuring you acquire all rights, titles & interests in the domain name and any other associated intellectual property.
Once both parties have signed the agreement, we will initiate an Escrow transaction using a trusted partner, such as Escrow.com, as an escrow agent. We have concluded 100’s of millions of dollars in transactions with Escrow.com, and they are among the most trusted and reliable escrow agents in the world. Upon both parties’ review and acceptance of the terms at Escrow.com, we will submit payment directly to the escrow agent.
After payment is received and approved, the seller will be notified to transfer the domain name and any other deliverables (website files, trademark forms, etc., if applicable). Money will not be released to the seller until you or you are in full control of the domain name.
All information and details of the purchase and transaction will be kept strictly confidential, and the sale will NOT be published anywhere on public record.
