Do you have a domain name that you’re looking to sell, but you need help finding a seller?
A domain name broker can help.
A domain name broker (different from a buyer broker) helps you to find a buyer for your domain name.
Usually, a domain name broker is highly adept in sales techniques and understands why domain names are such desirable assets.
A good domain name broker also has a wide network of connections that, in some cases, can help to procure a sale.
Most domain name brokers work on a commission-only basis, with their fee being a percentage of the final sales price. Typically, domain brokers may take anywhere from 5% to 20% commission, but this varies from broker to broker.
Since most brokers only work on commission, they’re usually very selective about the domains they take on.
Most brokers will be looking to work on domain names that have a good chance of selling for a large amount.
In fact, DNAcademy suggests that most domain brokers will only work on domain names with a realistic chance of selling for $67,000 or higher.
Here, I’ve built a list of domain name brokers that you may wish to contact if you’re looking for a broker to sell your domain.
Note that I do not endorse any domain brokers or services, and further due diligence should be performed by yourself before taking on any domain broker.
The brokers are listed in alphabetical order.
