"Two Top Level Domains have changed ownership
Perhaps most notably, Identity Digital sold .realty to Internet Naming Company. Internet Naming Company, run by Shayan Rostam, contains some of the remnants of Uniregistry. According to the company's website, it manages more than 10 top-level domain names.
Rostam told Domain Name Wire that the backend for the registry will move to Tucows' registry services.
.Realty has just over 1,500 domains in the zone file."
Many of you reading this might say.....Holy Guacamole! what the hell is this nut job thinking? Well, it was on September 27th 2020 i started a thread here on NP titled,
Moving on.....many of you have seen me binge buy on other TLD's that i liked; .link, .homes, and .online, but all to no avail/success. In each case however I knew these names wouldn't sell themselves despite listing them with the likes of DAN and Afternic, so if .Realty is to be successful a different marketing approach needs to happen.
I've connected via Linkedin with the new owner of the TLD .Realty Shayan Rostam, and we've shared a few email's about my aggressive/progressive outbound marketing approach especially since realtors are so easily accessible and approachable via email, phone and text.
Finally, i'm sure Shayan has checked me out since he was one of the founders at Uniregistry. I'm also sure he knows well the new owners of .link who I tried my best to connect with and get to know, but maybe when he learns my favorite .Realty domain is;
Sold.realty
he'll be interested
ps. No Binge happening here.....just sharing my logic.

$1 .Realty Domain Sale - Marketing ideas
While this was three years ago, other NP members and myself registered well over 1,500 .realty domains alone. However, very few ever sold. And by very few, I sold just 1 out of about 500 that I'd registered over a 90 day period. One of the biggest problems as I see was, Jay Westerdal the owner of the .Realty TLD made the decision to charge $298 for renewals, and sadly that wasn't received very well by the real estate industry.Moving on.....many of you have seen me binge buy on other TLD's that i liked; .link, .homes, and .online, but all to no avail/success.
