Media Options is a boutique domain name broker. What does that mean? Why would you want a broker like that? Here at Media Options, when we think of a \u201cboutique,\u201d we think of a welcoming, cozy storefront that prioritizes showcasing custom items over its own brand. We envision a boutique where the owner & other brokers walk around, engaging buyers & sellers in conversation. There\u2019s listening, laughing, nodding of heads\u2026 Brokering a domain name can be a delicate process.<\/p>\n

A good broker listens intently, negotiating so both parties are satisfied \u2013 downright happy \u2013 with the deal. There\u2019s a unique fit for each buyer and seller. It\u2019s a lot like matchmaking. Look at Match.com, it\u2019s a fabulous, algorithmic matchmaker. But it\u2019s no boutique.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t misunderstand: there\u2019s significant value in listing your domains for sale en masse.<\/p>\n

However, if you are buying or acquiring a premium domain, working with a boutique domain name broker is advantageous.<\/strong> People in the domain space are amazing, they have riveting stories and impressive skill sets. Domains bring people together like no other industry. Sometimes we\u2019ll encounter an overall assumption that the original owners of the best domains must have gotten into domain investing because of their ninja IT skills or other technological background.<\/p>\n

Often times, however, we\u2019ll meet someone with a unique specialty like gemology or fish commodity trading, who has a handful of 90\u2019s domains surrounding that specialized terminology. Domain name owners are a diverse and interesting mix of all sorts of specialties and professions. If you\u2019re considering buying or selling a premium domain:<\/p>\n

Choose a broker who has communication skills to engage with a very diverse set of people.<\/h2>\n

Think about the players: Small businesses, corporations, individuals, partnerships, and startups\u2026 Those who are emotionally invested, those who aren\u2019t\u2026 There are serial entrepreneurs, mom & pop, executives\u2026 In addition to communication skills, seek out a domain name broker with the experience to negotiate with flexible and creative terms.<\/strong> Money isn\u2019t the only thing that closes deals. One of my favorite stories is the time Media Options CEO Andrew Rosener sold 2 exact match domains for a specialized ham.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that the person who registered the domains had a love for this rare ham\u2026 Encountering some pushback in the brokerage process, Andrew creatively closed the deal by accepting $5,000 cash plus<\/em> a whole leg of Pata Negra Iberico Ham that retailed for $5,000! Whether selling or acquiring a premium domain: A boutique broker specializes in adding value to the process, ensuring it\u2019s a win-win for both buyer and seller.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
