“Joe at NameExperts was a pleasure to work with. He was highly responsive, always available to answer our questions, and quick to jump on calls when needed. Joe clearly prioritized our best interests, providing in-depth analysis of domain values and guiding us through the process. Thanks to his expertise, we successfully secured two domain names. We’ll definitely rely on Joe for our future domain needs. Highly recommend his services!”
My name’s Joe. What’s yours?
I help companies buy the domain they need without the owner ever learning who’s asking.

- Escrow.com Masters of Domains top 10, 2018 to 2024
- Success fee only, no upfront cost
I’ve brokered domains since 2009, and I still handle every deal myself.
When a company goes after a domain on its own, the owner looks them up and the price climbs. So I make the call myself.
I work on a success-fee model and never charge a fee unless I successfully buy or sell your domain.
I pride myself on not wasting founders’ time. If a name isn’t worth what the owner is asking, I’ll show you what similar names actually sold for.
Send me the name you want. I’ll take it from there.
Buy the domain you need. Nobody has to know it’s you.
Tell an owner that a Fortune 1000 company wants their domain, and the asking price can jump to 3-4 times what the name would otherwise sell for. I’ve seen it time and time again.
That’s why the owner deals only with me. I negotiate as the buy-side broker, and your company’s name stays out of it.
How Monday.com got its name
DaPulse came to me for a brand upgrade. The name no longer reflected the company’s global appeal, and they had a few specific names in mind. Monday.com wasn’t one of them.
I recommended it during the naming exercise. It’s a single dictionary word, easy to remember, and it ends in .com. The price was reasonable for a beachfront rebrand name, and the company has gone by monday.com ever since.
“I’ve worked with several other domain brokers and Joe is the only domain broker I felt 100% confident with throughout the whole process. Apart from being a true professional, Joe is also highly reliable, straightforward and has a no-bullshit approach. If you wish to get things done while sleeping well at night–Joe is your best option.”

What clients say
“Joe has been a great domain resource for my companies.”
“We've had the pleasure of working with Name Experts on several key domain acquisitions. Joe moves quickly and communicates clearly, and his expertise has been instrumental in securing domains that further our mission.”
What working with me looks like
You tell me the name.
Say what it’s for and when you need it. The first conversation is free, with no commitment.
I do the research first.
In the first 48 hours, I dig into the domain’s history, any business that traded under it, and any trademark that could cause trouble.
I reach the owner. You stay out of it.
I contact the owner as the broker, through several channels, because one or two emails often go unanswered. How anonymous buying works
I negotiate with evidence.
I show the owner what similar names have sold for, so the price reflects the market.
You get the domain, then I get paid.
Payment goes through escrow and the domain moves to you. My success fee is due only when the deal closes. How escrow works
Success fee only. No upfront cost.
You pay nothing to start and nothing if the deal doesn’t close. When you sign on, I map out every fee, including escrow fees. No one should pay a fee for a lack of success.
I also sell premium names for their owners. I never take on more than six to eight exclusive names at a time, so each one gets real outreach. If an offer comes in too low, I’ll tell you to wait. How selling with me works
Domain appraisals are a separate service, quoted up front. About appraisals
Before you reach out
Who handles my deal?
I do, from the first call to the transfer.
Will the seller know who I am?
No. I approach the owner as the broker and keep your name out of the negotiation.
What happens after I reach out?
I get back to you myself and ask about the name, what it’s for and your timeline before I contact anyone.
How long does it take?
Anywhere from two weeks to most of a year. It depends on how quickly the owner responds and whether they want to sell.
