Domains. Real Estate Domains that may be open

A lot of us are posting in this thread:

but I posted some real estate info this morning:
(i'm only using this thread to make it easy for me to link to for other domainers who don't want to dig for it)

....


Look at the #1 reported sale for this week:
BoiseRealEstate.com $50,000
http://www.dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm

I'm sure some of the current owners of other "CITY/STATE"RealEstate.comS have no idea of what they are sitting on. Can't hurt to contact them and see what they're selling for before other realtors read in realtor newswires about this week's purchase. Why did I bring this up, because I'm sure there are plenty of smaller, localized CITYRealEstate.comS available right now for under $10. So for those that want to get in cheap, look to your local markets and spend some time seeing if any domains are yours for the taking. because they won't be in a week because every realtor out there will scoop them up if they haven't already. I don't want people to think they can't start with $10, because they can, I just showed them how.

After reading the dnjournal article, I found 5 in my local area that were sitting there and shouldn't have been, if I was doing my job. But play it smart, don't grab every city, region in your area, only those where you know a realtor would want to advertise, buy or license, YES license the domain from you. AND do NOT reserve domains with the word REALTOR, it is a trademarked word and you will get a guaranteed C&D in the mail.

also, check for:
NameofCity Homes.com
NameofCity Realty.com
ISellNameofCity .com
NameofCity Guide.com
NameofCity Online.com
and don't forget to look for:

CITY.com,.net,.org
CITY+STATEABBREV.com
CITYSTATE.com

if you want to stretch the vein, not always a good idea, try these terms: Search,Portal,News,etc.

good luck.

find a host that will let you point all the domains to one page. list them all on the page with your different prices or licensing fees beside each domain. I would ask for an annual fee and point it to their site. tell them they can license/buy multiple names at a SMALL discount.

marketing it? easy. pick up the phone. go to your supermarket, bank, gas station, etc and pick up the free real estate guides and call the realtors in there. Call the ones who have a domain name that sucks and tell them who you are and how you are calling EVERYONE in that guide. you may even close the deal by the time you hang up the phone. this target market understands the sales process, commissions, marketing, etc and they have money and a huge desire to compete in their marketplace. you are their wake up call. Then call the ppl who don't have domains, and explain the concept. they know they want one, but haven't gotten around to it yet. and especially call the ones who are using their own personal name as their domain name because they need a more memorable domain.

pricing, all depends on market. if the houses in that area are EXPENSIVE, then you charge more. you know what you need to survive. if you want to outright flip it, then ask for whatever price you want, and keep in mind they make plenty of money.

You could always build the sites and charge small monthy fee per house ($5-$15) or per agent ($50-$100 unlimited ads) to be on the site. but that takes work, and some ppl don't want the hassle. it is lucrative, because all the realtors that advertise in the freebie newspapers are your target customers and they have already shown they understand the concept of advertising. Hook up with an SEO who wants to partner with you or milk the search engines yourself by learning the game slowly. you can charge them much more after you've built up your reputation.

I use to own some smaller city names and have sold them to agents in the past and wish I had licensed instead, but I assumed that the agents had bought up the domain market. I found out that's not true after my mining tonight. I'm entering the real estate game in a different way with LocalListings.com (''check your local listings") but I can still make time to buy a $7 domain and sell it for $2k-10k+.
