Hi friends,
I got an urgent question want to ask your suggestions.
I and the domain owner ($xxx,xxx valuation) set up an exclusive brokerage agreement back in early 2020. My role is to help the owner to reach out potential end users in Canada, US, and etc.
In 2020 July I got connected with a Godaddy broker and I asked him if he had any potential buyers in our domain name. I gave him my net price and allow him to apply his commission based on the net. He replied me that he would try and get back to me. This Godaddy broker is just one branch of my sale pipelines.
In 2020-2021 we had 5-7 emails back and forth to follow up each other.
Just in today, the domain owner said he has received an offer which hit his bottom line and he decided to sell. He told me it was Godaddy broker and he told me he could send me some compensations for my 2 year hard work.
I emailed the Godaddy broker that I worked with during the last two years and he said it was him. Yes he crossed me to reach to the owner and closed a deal.
The owner is a great and nice person and I don't want to screw him up and I said congratulations to him. But what shall I do??? I am the exclusive broker but I and the owner didn't write it down on the paper. (The domain has been forwarded to my landing page since early 2020 and the owner authorized me as exclusive broker on verbal).
Did the Godaddy broker do things right? Shall I request for commission split?
Any ideas?
