The Buyer–Seller Negotiation Playbook for Premium Domains

Premium negotiation is mostly risk removal. Make it easy to say “yes.”

1) Lead with credibility

Share who you are, what you’re building, and timeline. Sellers price risk — lower risk often gets better terms.

2) Make a clean offer

3) Avoid friction

Skip the weird contracts and endless calls. Premium domains close fast when both sides keep it simple.

4) Use terms as leverage

If price is tight, negotiate terms: fees, timeline, exclusivity window, or installment structure via escrow.

5) Close like a pro

Once terms are agreed, initiate escrow immediately. Delays signal low intent and kill deals.

If your offer is ready, send it here with your preferred closing method.
