Domain name investors have a new option for selling their domains.
Domain name brokerage service Saw.com launched a new domain name sales platform today.
The platform allows domain name owners to list domains for sale, point them to Saw.com landers (example), and either self-broker the domains or hand them off to Saw.com’s brokers.
Sellers will be able to see many details about people who inquire about their domains, including their location, the average income in that area, and their type of internet connection.
When buyers inquire about domains, the platform opens a chat window that asks questions to obtain more information from the buyer (pictured, view from seller’s account). This helps screen for qualified buyers.
Additionally, the platform provides statistics about visitors to each domain and where they are located.
Sellers can offer domains at buy now prices and on payment plans. Payment plans can require a down payment.
Saw.com founder Jeffrey Gabriel previously worked for Uniregistry, which was shut down after GoDaddy acquired it. The Saw.com platform includes tools similar to many of those at Uniregistry that people used to self-broker domain inquiries.
Sellers are charged a 9% commission when they self-broker domains and 15% when a Saw.com broker handles the transaction for them.
For additional details about why Saw.com built the platform, listen to my interview with Jeffrey Gabriel on DNW Podcast #494.
