Sell Domain Names
To sell domain names well you need three things: a price the data defends, buyers who are actually qualified, and a transfer that cannot go wrong. That is the whole product. List one name or a book of 2,500; the desk works the same.
From "sell my domain" to money in escrow, in four moves
Price with proof
Run the domain appraisal. You get an estimate, a confidence level and the comps that justify it, the same evidence your buyer will see.
Choose the sale shape
Buy-now for speed, make-offer for negotiating room, or a scheduled auction when demand is deep enough to let the floor set the price.
Negotiate on the record
Offers, counters and acceptances happen in writing on the platform. No lost email threads, no "he said" disputes when the money moves.
Close in escrow
Funds clear with a reputable third-party escrow service before the name leaves your account. Payment releases when the buyer controls the domain. The escrow steps.
Domain portfolio management for whole books
Import a CSV and the desk appraises every line: 500 names per run on Investor, 10,000 on Pro Broker. Sort by estimated value, spot the keepers, list the rest in one pass, and watch offers and sold-comps analytics roll up per name. It is domain portfolio management as a dealer does it: the whole book on one ledger, not spread across five tabs. The method behind it, including how to make renew-or-drop calls with comps rather than by feel, is on bulk domain appraisal.
What selling costs
A flat plan plus a commission that drops as you grow: 12% on Investor, 8% on Pro Broker, negotiated for brokerages. The marketplaces you're leaving charge 15 to 25% with no comps to show for it. The calculator on the right does the arithmetic; the pricing page has the full table, and we compare every venue's commission side by side in where to sell domain names.

Honest expectations
Domains are a market. Well-priced names with real keyword demand sell in weeks; speculative names can take months or not sell at all. We give you the comps and the qualified buyers; nobody honest gives you a guarantee. New to this? Read how to sell a domain name for the complete playbook.
