arstar...sorry I didn't catch that for you, but to make it up to you I'm looking into a key contact for the .realty extension where CentralNic is the registry. For example, eBuy.Realty is available to buy for reg fee of $26. And for the record, I'm uncovering more and more what I consider corruption and dirt in this industry than I first thought when i landed here just 18 months ago. I'll keep you posted via PM or email, and the best of luck to you.
artstar...sales for .realty and .homes will be scaling at an ever increasing rate once our marketing engine builds up steam. I recently made a strategic contact with the .Realty folks where I believe sales of .Realty will catch up with .Homes and exceed them by year end imho
It's interesting that you own golfestate.homes because I own golfclub.homes and the registry, Dominion Domains, has held golfcourse.homes back as a "Premium" domain and is asking $1,099.99 for it at GD/Afternic.

Of the three I like Golfcourse.homes the best and I do believe a builder or realtor (end user) would buy that before the other two. It's also interesting that GD values Golfcourse.homes at $930 and Golfclub.homes at $828.
Finally, Dominion.domains who are aka DominionDomains(.)com (i personally gifted/gave that name to them 60 days ago) is the perfect example of what Verisign refers to as "Hoarders and Scalpers" Not only did they try and stiff me for $64,000 for the domain HomeSweet.Homes when they learned I might be interested, their three tiered standard Premium pricing where they ask $1099.99 for their least expensive domain, $2749.99 for their mid level Premium domain, and $5,499.99 for their highest standard Premium domain, is pricing you can see on Go Daddy.
It's interesting that I hand registered and own Sunset.homes that GD values at $1,249, and Dominion.domains still owns Sunrise.homes that GD values at $1,189, and guess what Dominion is asking for it? They're asking $5,499.99 via Go Daddy, and I'm sure if they heard I might be interested they would probably take it off sale, and try to sell it to me for $64,000
The ironic thing here is that Dominion.domains sold me Sunset.homes for $10, and now that we're competitors trying to sell similar names, I've no doubt I'll smoke them in the marketplace
If you go back to a post in this thread (pg 18) by onspec aka Scott Smith of Canada, you'll read where he says in order for .homes to be a successful nTLD, the full and complete cooperation of all parties concerned needs to happen. Initially i sought out Dominion.domains to work with, but since they've show their true colors, there's no way I can work with hoarders and scalpers...i guess I'm just a tad too ethical.
That's all for now folks....enjoy your summer
artstar...it's the naysayers who have helped me to grow and improve on my talents over the last 18 months since discovering the domain industry. While this guy Brad is one of my biggest critics, he also falls under the category of being a "hoarder and scalper" like Verisign sees him
Marceden...i'm not sure if creating a whole website for a single domain is right, unless of course you're reasonably sure it's a great domain. That said, I'm hand registering two domains today both of which are "good" enough domains to support million dollar businesses:
You could be right thatnameguy. I am always open to intelligent and sensible advice. Question for you. Do you sell domains full time or on a regular basis. You are also correct $ 13 is a fantastic investment if you are able to sell the domains. I have had my own business for many years -not domaining. The reality in any business is a customer does not care what i want. I need to sell what people want. My second question to you. You have stated that these real estate companies are worth billions. What type of research have you done that you feel certain they will want to buy your domains. So unless you are able to see the future. And now i speak from plenty experience. Millions of people have ideas. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Unless a business is absolutely certain that what they buy will benefit there business, they will then buy the idea. But any business wants to see some type of product or service as an established concern. So once again. Why do you feel that they would be interested in buying your domains.Marceden...i'm not sure if creating a whole website for a single domain is right, unless of course you're reasonably sure it's a great domain.

Stealth.Homes - GD appraises for $1,457
and
OceanDrive.Realty - Ocean Drive's in Miami Beach Florida, and Newport RI pass Billions of dollars in real estate for sale, rent or lease. Now if you don't know how to get the word out to realtors in Miami Beach or RI, you shouldn't own a domain like this, but for $13 I couldn't afford not to take the risk
I'm sure that Jimmy, a guy who use to work for them, and others like Jeff and David and Charlie, who work at the parent company Dominion Enterprises, realize what a joke they really are, and I'm hoping I get their attention.
