Kate was a pleasure to work with. We were divesting my last company and had some debts on the books, we reached out to Kate to help us with our domain sale, not only did she get us 4x our asking price, she did it within a 90-day tight window! I will definitely work with her again.
I cannot think of anyone more wonderful than Kate at helping with domain acquisitions. Kate is communicative, fast, and exceeds all expectations across the board. I will definitely be a repeat customer in the future, and more than happy to recommend future clients to her.
I worked with Kate to sell Dater.com, and the experience was excellent. I’d had the name on the market for about two years; after hiring Defining.com, we closed in roughly two months at a price I’m genuinely happy with. Communication was fast, clear, and professional. When a few hiccups came up, Kate moved quickly, she even switched escrow seamlessly when it was needed to keep momentum. Everything was handled respectfully and without bias; cross-border logistics were a non-issue. Kate knows this market, negotiates well, and gets deals done. Highly recommended.
If there were an Olympic event for 'Domain Deal Clinching' [for Domain Acquisitions], you'd be standing on the podium with a gold medal! That's not just a saving; it's a masterstroke! You've officially set the bar high for 'Bargain of the Year.' Thanks a million, Kate.
Kate has been instrumental in our domains’ divestment. We own several premium domains not in use due to group acquisitions. We searched for brokers in the top domain sales and contacted a few. Kate’s team was by far the most professional and we quickly decided to try first with them. We could not be happier, with already several sales of our unused assets at prices much higher than anticipated!
Archie.com wasn’t an expense. It was a once-in-a-lifetime asset, and we knew if we didn’t act, someone else would. Couldn't have done it without you guys. A job well done.
Kate Buckley did an outstanding job developing and executing a top-tier strategy for the sale of our domain. A quick online search will show that she is widely recognized as a leader in her field, and it was truly an honor to have her represent us throughout this transaction. Kate consistently demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, compassion, and determination. She was always responsive to our questions and concerns, providing clear guidance and support every step of the way. On several occasions, her skill and experience were instrumental in keeping both the buyer and seller focused, aligned, and moving forward toward a successful outcome. Most notably, Kate achieved a final sale price of $600,000, well above prior offers and appraisals in the $100K–$150K range, a result we never anticipated was possible. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to maximizing value throughout the process.
I was delighted when Kate agreed to take on the tricky job of selling two extremely generic domains. Those who know her will not be surprised to hear that she made promises she could keep and kept her promises. It was a pleasure working with Kate, couldn’t have done it without her! I’ve owned the domains for a long time, and she brought a great buyer and a great price [7 figures]!
I had the privilege of working with Kate on the sale of a client's domain name. Kate is a hard working and tenacious domain broker and she was nothing but professional throughout the entire transaction. My client is very pleased with Kate's performance on the sale as Kate was able to sell the client's domain name quickly at double the minimum reserve price!
Kate worked tirelessly to secure a solid win on a valuable premium domain we entrusted her to divest on our behalf. Her expertise, ethics and professionalism are second to none, highly recommend Kate and team to anyone looking to maximize value on buying or selling premium domain names.
I cannot recommend Kate enough. She is fantastic. Professional and most importantly she delivers. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
For over five years Kate Buckley has been my broker for several high-value domains. Kate is tenacious, fair, honest, highly ethical, and funny. I started my Internet services and domains business in 1993 and of all the people I have met in my nearly 30-year career, Kate is one of the very few people I trust in this industry. I am looking forward to working with her on many more opportunities.
I was introduced to Kate after someone tried to transfer and sell my domain out from under me. Kate was just what I needed when I needed her. She is warm and wonderful. She made me comfortable with the entire process of the sale. She got a great price for it too. I would not hesitate to use Kate’s services again. It was a true pleasure.
Kate went above and beyond my expectations and got me a price much higher than expected! Apart from being a true professional, Kate's also got the gift of the gab, is an expert negotiator and skilled at closing deals. I was impressed with her clarity of communication, persistence, integrity, and innovative and strategic thinking. If you have an ultra-premium domain name and want to maximize its value - Kate is your best option.
Kate was an indispensable partner in not only procuring the ideal domain name for our new initiative, but also crafting a brand manifesto that perfectly captured the spirit and ethos of it as well. It's rare to find partners that can deliver on multiple fronts, and do it at such a high level, I recommend Kate and team without reservation.
Kate Buckley and team are exceptional at brand strategy across not only premium domain names, but in all assets that help to complete a brand's go-to-market strategy.
Kate was incredible in supporting our team through the domain acquisition process. Her guidance was always prompt, strategic, and thorough. Would recommend her to anyone looking for help in the domain world.
In the domain industry, there are Domain Brokers then there are passionate Domain Brokers. I have been lucky enough to have one of my domain names brokered with one of the best in the industry, Kate Buckley. Kate's persistence and follow up with the eventual buyer was perfect. I remember Kate giving a keynote talk at a domain conference, and she spoke about the way she markets her domain names she is selling. Kate does not just send the regular email or make the basic phone call to the prospective buyer, she tells a story on why the domain name is a perfect fit to the prospective buyer and how it will benefit them. I WAS SOLD! Thank you, Kate, for the amazing job and getting the top price.
Kate pursued multiple leads, carefully following up each one, and negotiating hard to get a good price for my premium domain name. Then success! I received double my price. It was a totally painless process and Kate provided complete visibility at every step along the way.
Consider yourself lottery-level lucky if you have the opportunity to work with Kate. All the typical glorious adjectives absolutely apply: smart, professional, knowledgeable, creative, strategic, and ethical. But there's something deeper that isolates Kate from any would-be competitors and which makes collaborating with her so wonderful, and ultimately profitable. Kate legitimately cares. About her clients, her job, domain names, and the domain name industry. This passion breeds trust and my faith in Kate resulted in a deal that made everybody a winner. All I had to do was let Kate take the reins.
I found Kate by researching highest price domain sales. She's the real deal. She successfully brokered a premium domain for me, maximizing its value during a very difficult time, and I was impressed by her tenacity, ethics, and creative and strategic thinking. If you’re looking to maximize value on a premium domain, you can’t go wrong with Kate on your team!
If you want your premium domain name to be sold by a warm, collaborative expert at the top of her game, via an empathic yet tenacious approach, maximizing value and delivering an optimal outcome, turn to Kate Buckley and team. Kate and her team are simply brilliant, I recommend them without hesitation!
Kate, thank you so much for the opportunity to work together on the HomeFinance.com acquisition. You were super professional, patient with the process and delivered as promised.
I had a domain name that had appreciated in value quickly and I didn't know the best way to go about selling it. I reached out to Kate and she graciously agreed to take on the name. She was able to tap into her vast network of contacts and through a few weeks of outreach and negotiations she was able to find a buyer at a price I didn't even think was possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a domain name broker!
Kate brokered the sale of one of my ultra-premium domains and not only successfully found a qualified buyer via her targeted and curated outbound efforts, but negotiated an extremely favorable price on my behalf, and did so in just a few months! Kate's the best, can't recommend her team highly enough for best-in-class brokerage of acquiring and selling premium domains! #teamKate
Kate helped us secure our targeted domain extremely fast, and for a price well under budget. She was professional and prompt throughout. We'd recommend her services.
Kate worked tirelessly to market, and eventually sell, a premium domain name [for me]. Getting a deal done during the Covid-19 pandemic was absolutely extraordinary. And not just any deal, a truly fantastic one. She is an expert negotiator and consummate professional.
We worked with Kate on a couple of strategic acquisitions. Each journey was different and Kate helped us navigate them professionally, creatively, and proactively. Kate is highly communicative and her passion for her field is what empowers her to drive on forward and give that extra oomph that it takes to cross the finish line. We would work with Kate again, and we already have! In working with Kate it was clear she had immense relevant experience to help navigate the unique twists and turns that any acquisition may present.
Kate Buckley has been a wonder worker on our behalf in selling Kindness.com! I found that selling a domain name can be a waiting game, but one that pays off big time with some patience. Kate will win you over as she did us (and our buyer!)
Kate Buckley helped me maximize my ROI beyond what I imagined on a very large domain transaction and I cannot thank her enough. I love her style as a professional broker and more importantly, as a person. Giving and trustworthy. Classy and cool. If anyone ever needs help acquiring and/or selling a valuable domain name/brand name, you absolutely need Kate!
I wouldn’t want Kate sitting on the other side of the table from me. Fierce in the guise of elegance, strategic in the guise of patience, unstoppable in the guise of charm, Kate is simply the most disarming, creative, determined and savvy partner one could hope for in any business setting. Kate was the third domain broker I contacted and I knew in an instant I’d found my sherpa to take me to the summit. Three weeks from the day I signed her agreement, I was the proud owner of the perfect domain for my new enterprise. At a fraction of the initial asking price, let alone what other brokers warned would cost significantly more. All thanks to Kate. She’s simply undeniable. The best!
Kate is an indispensable strategic partner, handling the high-end sales of my legacy domains. Her experience, strategic outlook, negotiation skills, and knowledge of the space are second to none, allowing me to realize top dollar returns on my domain portfolio. Last year alone, she sold seven figures worth of domains for me. I recommend her to anyone looking to maximize their domain investments.
It was awesome to work with Kate on the sale of my premium domain. She patiently worked through the opportunities and helped guide me in making the best decision for the sale. Look forward to doing more business with Kate as I work through my domain portfolio!
Kate was fantastic to work with. Very professional, deliberate, strategic and thorough in representing our asset sale from beginning to end. She was particularly deft during the heat of final negotiations when things can go sideways and kept the deal on track, we are very happy with the result! I can wholeheartedly recommend Kate to others and we will definitely retain her services again.
I had the pleasure to get in contact and work with Kate in order to purchase a domain which was highly important for our company, and which we had been unable to acquire over the last few years. Kate was always very professional, stayed in contact through the process and most importantly, she did not give up even if she was not getting any response from the owner at the time of our desired domain. Finally, Kate was able to secure a negotiation where we payed a fair price to acquire the domain and guided us seamlessly through the process. We would strongly recommend her services to anyone with the same issue we had as we will certainly keep working with her in the future!
After seeing Kate's tweet on yet another successful domain sale, I approached her to broker a similar domain name. It’s worth noting that I’d been holding the domain since November 2008 without any meaningful offer. Kate was able to find good leads and engage multiple buyers in a short period of time. Opening offer from one lead was a strong one and I was somewhat surprised when she said: We will wait for a better offer. Within couple of days, she negotiated a better offer from another company, and the deal was closed successfully this week. On my own, I could have settled for a lot less but she knows how to negotiate and get the best deal.
Kate performed brilliantly for our company. I am convinced that she was able to get the maximum price for the domain which she sold on our behalf. I would not hesitate using her again for future domain sales. And I unconditionally recommend her services.
It was a true pleasure working with Kate and team. After a quick internet search, I landed on Kate and she gave sound advice on domains without asking for anything in return. Which turned into us using her for business. She worked throughout the weekend to secure our domain name for a substantial price under asking. We cannot thank Kate enough for her professionalism and hard work on getting our Bolay.com domain. Highly recommend her.
When I was thinking of selling a long held ultra-premium domain name that I owned, I did some research and ended up calling Kate and team. Wow! What a great job she did for me. If you have any ultra-premium names you are considering selling, I can save you a lot of time. Just call Kate. You will be glad you did.
Kate is one of the domain experts in the field of domain name appraisal and brokerage that I would trust to handle my portfolio. Kate is a long time associate and friend and I trust her to make sound negotiations for me and my business.
Kate was efficient and supported an elegant transaction in a timely manner. Well done.
Having dealt with several domain name brokers in the industry, I can attest that Kate stands out as one of the best. Kate started the marketing effort for my domain name with a targeted outbound campaign which resulted in several promising leads. Kate's friendly and professional approach with potential buyers ultimately resulted in a sales price that was significantly higher than the reserve. As a seller, I was always kept up to date on the status of outbound campaigns and ongoing negotiations with prospects. It was a pleasure working with Kate and I highly recommend her.
Kate Buckley not only sold us a world-class domain, but a fantastic business plan and marketing blueprint as well. She is an absolute pleasure to do business with, and worked with us in transparency and integrity every step of the way
Thank you, Kate! I could tell you were awesome from the very first email. Business can be crazy and stressful most of the time, so it’s a rare thing to work with people who can actually make the process fun. I sincerely appreciate your patience and assistance through the twists and turns of this deal. Very glad it all worked out so well.
Kate is a fantastic domain broker. Very friendly and easy to communicate with while always letting us know exactly what was going on. Kate got me a great price for my domain and continued to assist right until the money was in my bank. We had a great experience selling our domain through Kate and hopefully will have the chance to work together again someday.
Since 1998, Kate Buckley has set the standard for professionalism in our industry. My only regret is that when Kate was created they broke the mold. A competitor once told me, ‘I would trade forty of my staff for one Kate Buckley'.
