Plain from the first note to the last.

The steps

1. No. 1

   We pick the company first

   Before any note goes out, Kristen looks at who already trades under the words in the name: what they sell, where, and how their customers find them. If the fit is thin, no note is sent.

2. No. 2

   One short email

   Addressed to the person who can say yes. It names the address and asks one question. No attachments, no links, no follow-up storm.

3. No. 3

   A figure in writing

   If you reply with interest, you get one price. If it does not suit you, say so and say what would. Some names have room, some do not, and you will hear which.

4. No. 4

   Escrow opens

   Once the figure is agreed, a transaction is opened at a licensed escrow service in your company's name. You pay escrow, not us.

5. No. 5

   The push

   As soon as escrow confirms your payment, we move the name into your registrar account, or a new one you open for it. That usually happens the same working day.

6. No. 6

   Release

   You accept the name, escrow checks that it shows under your account, and only then does the money come to us.
