commission-only

Buy a domain that's already taken.

The one you want is registered and not for sale. domani's broker finds the owner, reaches out anonymously, negotiates on your behalf, and closes through escrow. Many owners never reply - but you pay nothing unless a deal closes, so there's no cost to try for the domain you thought was out of reach.

The two sides never meet. An agent runs the whole thing - no human in the loop.

Two ways to get a taken domain

The broker attempts to buy it from the current holder. If the domain may expire and you prefer to wait, a backorder monitors it and attempts registration if it becomes available. Both paths are best-effort.

Half the fee, because there's no human.

A traditional broker charges 15-20% plus an upfront fee because a person does the sourcing, the outreach, and the back-and-forth. domani is agents end to end - so it costs a fraction, runs around the clock, and nobody ever sees your identity or your budget.

How the broker works

We find the owner

A sourcing waterfall - public WHOIS/RDAP, the live site, and archived snapshots - locates a contactable owner even when the registration is privacy-protected.

We reach out anonymously

domani contacts the owner as a neutral broker. They never learn who you are or your budget; you never handle the outreach. Every message is relayed.

We negotiate + escrow

Offers and counters run through an anonymous negotiation. On agreement, the buyer funds escrow, the owner delivers the transfer code, and the domain moves to you - the owner is paid only once it completes.

From request to transfer

  1. 1
    Request. Name the domain and (optionally) your max budget.
  2. 2
    Source. We find a contactable owner, or tell you it's unreachable - nothing charged.
  3. 3
    Outreach. An anonymized message goes to the owner. One contact, easy opt-out.
  4. 4
    Negotiate. Owner names a price; you accept or counter. Neither side is revealed.
  5. 5
    Escrow. You fund escrow at the agreed price - held, not paid out yet.
  6. 6
    Transfer. Owner provides the EPP code; the domain transfers to your account.
  7. 7
    Done. Owner is paid, minus our commission. No deal, no charge.

Call it

curl -X POST https://domani.run/api/broker \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer domani_sk_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "domain": "dream.com", "max_budget": 5000 }'

Many owners are unreachable (privacy-protected WHOIS with no public contact) - the request then comes back no_contact, and you're never charged for it.
