I'm open to more suggestions.
Completely true. However, you could find some $$$ domains in the Latonas/Clement newsletters.
Meaning that the domains would be listed passively and no proactive action would take place. But at least you get qualified eyeballs.
Brokers usually aren't shy about the domains they are brokering, especially if they are good...
If you want to contribute to this thread with the authority of a broker you should be able to back up your claims.
I see where Biggie is coming from.
In my opinion, an experienced broker already knows what Shane just explained. He will put no effort toward mid-$$$ domains.
PS: I am a broker too. And I am my own best client.
Thanks for jumping in. I'm not trying to be secretive. I'm pretty new, which is why I am here to learn more and figure ways to help domain owners. I don't claim myself to experienced. If you read my website, it says it well. click on the signature.
I started dabble with domain trading in 2009, and made little money, but I like it and consider want to do brokering. I went to Namescon in January and met a guy named Ryan Colby who promised to train and coach me in domain brokering. I just finished one on one training with Ryan Colby a little more than a month ago. Now, I'm still working on my site, as you see on my signature link. What Ryan recommends me is that I focus on premium domain, which position me as a premium domain broker because it's worth the time. So, at first I thought to just do premium names, $50,000 or higher, as he recommended.
In mean time, I'm just networking and getting to know people. I did do a collaboration by a broker, which he asked me to be confidential about it in helping him find a buyer. It was a 2 character domain. The domain didn't sell, but my experience is that it does take time and work to get the domains sold. I learned that many domains that got brokered don't sell. I'm I right? I'm here to learn from anyone here who's willing to share. Or if brokering a domain is easy, share. If a domain represents a product or a service, then yes, maybe. But that's what separates a great broker from the rest. And that's the skill i'm trying to learn.
Biggie, didn't I see you on Domain Sherpa interview? Not sure exactly. If so, you're the expert. I got to go back to Domain Sherpa again.
So, because I'm new to brokering, I'm looking for opportunities of market that's untapped. There is one domain I'm brokering now, real estate domain. The thing is I swayed away from the premium model, percentage fee model, and follow the second model, which I guarantee the owner a net amount if the domain sells. So, that is the reason why I'm asking everyone to see how the model works.
I know you're going to ask me again "What's the domain?" Too bad none of you here is an end user. I'll tell you later when it sells. On the other hand if you're my collaborator, then I'll share everything. But this isn't a premium domain in many people's eyes.
