Sourcing & brokerage
Can't find the perfect name? We'll go and get it.
If the domain you want is not listed here — or the owner won't name a price — our brokers and partner companies source or negotiate it for you. You get the best options, a defined price, and a smooth, secure transfer.

How sourcing works
Send the brief
Give us the exact name, or a short brief: the brand you are building, the extensions you will accept, budget range, and your deadline.
We source and price it
We check our own inventory first, then approach owners and partner brokers for off-market options. You receive a shortlist with real prices and a recommended path.
You decide, then transfer
Nothing is agreed without your written go-ahead. The transfer completes through an escrow-protected marketplace partner, so ownership and payment move together.
When to use it
- The name isn't for sale anywhere. It sits on a parked page or an inactive site. We approach the owner directly and find out whether a number exists.
- The price looks wrong. A listing is overpriced against comparable sales. We negotiate with the seller or marketplace on your behalf using real comps.
- You need options, not just one name. We return a shortlist in the same lane — same length, same category, same brand logic — so you are not choosing from a list of one.
- You're rebranding at scale. Multiple product lines, several extensions, or a portfolio of defensive registrations, scoped and priced together.
Safe by default
Money and ownership move together through a licensed escrow marketplace — Afternic, Sedo, Atom, Spaceship or Unstoppable. We never process payments on this site, never ask you to wire funds to an individual, and never agree a price without your written go-ahead.
Sourcing questions
What if the domain I want isn't listed on DN Detector?
We source it. Tell us the name or the brief and our brokers and partner companies approach the current owner directly, or identify comparable names you may not have considered. You get a clear price and a recommended path before anything is agreed.
Can you negotiate a better price on a listed domain?
Yes. For names already listed publicly we can open a negotiation with the seller or marketplace on your behalf, using comparable sales and current market data. You are never obliged to accept the outcome.
How long does a sourced acquisition take?
A brokered purchase of an already-listed name is typically days. Sourcing an off-market name depends on the owner: some respond within a week, some never do. We report progress and never leave you guessing.
What does it cost?
The domain price is agreed in writing before you commit, and the transfer completes through an escrow-protected marketplace partner. Brokerage terms depend on the name and the complexity of the negotiation, and are quoted up front.
Is the transfer safe?
Yes. Money and ownership move through a licensed escrow marketplace (Afternic, Sedo, Atom, Spaceship or Unstoppable), not through us. We never handle payments on-site and we never ask you to wire funds directly to an individual.
Can you help with a whole portfolio, not just one name?
Yes. Founders consolidating a rebrand, studios building product lines, and investors assembling a category portfolio all use this route. Send the brief and we will scope it.
