Why this matters
The essentials, clearly stated
What most founders miss about domain acquisitions and why it matters.
Often not for sale ≠ unavailable
Most premium names are held by investors or companies. With discreet outreach and real market comps, owners often do sell at fair prices.
What we do
We anonymize you to avoid price hikes, negotiate professionally, and manage escrow and registrar transfer end‑to‑end.
Why the right domain
Exact‑match domains lift trust and recall, drive direct traffic, lower CAC, and protect your brand from confusion. We help with .com, .net, .org, country codes, and any extension you need.
Why BrandHunt
The fastest way to secure a premium brand domain—without overpaying or wasting cycles.
Outcome‑driven negotiation
Quiet, professional outreach that gets a yes without inflating price. We focus on terms that reduce risk and speed up close.
Buyer anonymity (when needed)
We protect your identity to avoid price hikes and unwanted attention. The seller deals with a calm, neutral counterparty.
Valuation you can defend
Real comps, commercial intent, and brandability—not vibes. You get a range that’s fair and keeps momentum.
Zero‑drama transfer
Escrow, registrar coordination, and DNS timing handled end‑to‑end so cutover is clean and fast.
What you walk away with
- Exact‑match (or best alternative) at a fair price
- Short written summary of comps and process
- Secure transfer into your preferred registrar
- Light post‑deal guidance if you want it
Where we help most
