I thought you were looking for a domain management platform. That is why I recommended Efty and Saw. I do not believe Efty does any brokering. Saw does, but only inbound. (Unless of course you own a one-word .com, in which case you could engage Saw to do outbound on that for you.) I am not aware...

Take a look at Efty and Saw. Other folks here may have other recos.

As long as domain brokering remains unlicensed and unregulated, it’s going to be the Wild West out there. I’m not saying licensing and regulation is the solution, but working with trusted vendors that have a public record of service is a good practice. As for DomainEasy, I have never used them...

When I am fielding inbound offers on behalf of clients who own domains, and the offers are lowball, I typically reply with something along the lines of: Thank you for your offer, which my client politely declines. My client welcomes serious offers for this [one-word .com domain / brandable...

You would be surprised how many times my brokerage has been approached by would-be clients with budgets of $500. We politely turn them away along with a few tips. We do sometimes take on very low budget projects (e.g., under $5k budget) but only for not-for-profits or really special clients we...

Few people despise NetSol more than me, but I still end up being forced to use it on behalf of clients from time to time. You will be amused to learn that NetSol has improved some things, yes I said improved, in the last few months. Case in point, I unlocked a domain and requested authcode on...

This reminds me of the O.co fiasco... Will be interesting to see if this follows the same trajectory that did. I am not opposed to new TLDs, but they are risky for consumer-facing brands IMHO, better suited to B2B usage.

Maybe look at Domoro Domains, but I am NOT recommending them or vouching for them, DYOR for sure!

Yup, I am still on the hunt. Thank you to everyone from DN.ca who sent over inventory last week.

Love this addition to one of my fave tools.

One thing Dynadot is guilty of here is fumbling their response to this matter, which is unfortunate because my impression (based on my dealings with them over the years) is they are good and ethical people. At least they did respond, eventually, but I would not give them top marks for how they...

My buyer clients, that's who. ;+) I estimate that 75% of my clients, who are end-user buyers (VCs, serial startup founders, marketing execs) want to buy and brand around English (or other language, such as German or Spanish) one-word .com (or .ai, .co, .io, and sometimes .ca) domains. They often...

Some of you older folks will remember a super useful tool from the usenet newsgroup days: a bozo filter ... perhaps that is what Spaceship deployed here, lol.

If DN.ca merged with NamePros, I would probably not stick around. I love the Canadian focus here. I rarely spend time on NamePros, very little content of quality over there, is flooded with amateurs offering bad advice to other amateurs.

Not sure how specific to domain biz you want to customize the CRM, but I've been a happy customer of LessAnnoyingCRM.com for about 10 years now. My team at Name Ninja uses it to track project leads and projects. You can try it out for free. My fave thing about it is that it is easily...
