We only make money when a name changes hands.
Mission Names was built on one observation: the gap between what a good domain sells for and what it is worth is almost entirely a communication failure. The owner does not know who needs it. The buyer does not know it is available. Neither wants to be the one who names a number first.
A broker's job is to be the person who does. We carry the mandate, we make the approach, we hold the reserve, and we take fifteen percent only when the transaction closes. There is no listing fee, no retainer, no valuation charge, and no arrangement in which we are paid for activity rather than outcome.
We work on a small number of mandates at a time, in the United States and Europe, mostly between twenty-five thousand and five million dollars. We decline most of what we are shown. That is not selectivity for its own sake — a mandate we cannot place costs you ninety days you could have spent elsewhere.
Every settlement runs through Escrow.com. We never hold client funds.
