Domain buyer broker
The domain buyer broker on your side of the table
A domain broker who also lists names for sale cannot be fully on your side. Westmore is a buyer broker: we only represent the person or company acquiring the domain.
30+ years · $600M+ acquired
Decades of buyer-side domain acquisitions for founders and companies.
Buyer-side only
Westmore represents buyers. We never list or sell domains for the other side.
Confidential by default
Your name, company and budget stay private until you decide otherwise.
46,000+ funded-company briefs
We study how funded companies choose and upgrade their domains.
What's included
Everything handled, start to finish
Buyer representation
One client in every deal: you.
Owner research
WHOIS, RDAP, history and holdings to find the decision-maker.
Price strategy
An opening offer, target and walk-away set from real comparables.
Private negotiation
No company name, no funding signal, no urgency revealed.
Risk review
Trademark conflicts and UDRP history checked before you commit.
Closing
Escrow, transfer and post-sale security.
Why it matters
Seller-side brokers are paid to raise the price. A buyer broker is paid to lower it. That single difference changes what is said, what is disclosed and when to walk away.

Escrow, transfer and registrar lock, handled end to end.
Frequently asked questions
What is a domain buyer broker?+
A broker who represents only the buyer in a domain purchase: researching the owner, setting price strategy and negotiating on the buyer's behalf, without representing the seller.
How is a buyer broker different from a domain broker?+
Many domain brokers list and sell names for owners or are paid by both sides. A buyer broker has no seller clients, so there is no conflict when negotiating your price down.
Do I need a broker to buy a domain?+
Not always. For an inexpensive listed name you can buy directly. For a valuable or unlisted name, a broker protects your identity and leverage, which usually saves more than the fee.
How are buyer brokers paid?+
Westmore uses a clear engagement agreed up front. You will see it before any work starts.
