It's a little bit strange that the buyer it's not a licenced mortgage broker and his websites are just for educational purposes and the company address it's in a coworking office sharing space in Florida. Why somebody will pay xxxxx-xxxxxx for an educational website?

He's obviously a broker. He steers you to a loan company, maybe even ones he owns.

Maybe he likes the domain

his websites are just for educational purposes

Not sure if you were at the NamesCon in session where he explained the domain and model for Home. loans (which in turn was based on his success with Multifamily .loans). One point he made (from my possibly faulty memory) was to first secure high traffic before monetizing that traffic. Ultimately the money is made by connecting lenders and potential clients, rather than to do the lending directly. If one does not need a building, why would you not use a co-sharing space? i see tons of small companies doing it of late - I think there are at least 3 co-sharing services in my small city in Canada. One can dispute a business model but it has seemed to work for him, and he is now expanding it again.

Also should probably point out that as I read it only 3 of the top 20 sites on Internet (according to Alexa at least https://www.alexa.com/topsites ) actually directly sell you anything. Show that there can be, in some cases, good return on websites that offer a service, even an unpaid one.

I really hope that we know the price paid at some point. So the broker has implied it is much more than mid $$$$$, and pointed out the $500k number home .loans went for.

The mortgage lending industry is worth a trillion dollars plus, in fact it’s so much money that Google used to have “mortgage” as the highest priced keyword for Adsense and PPC - were talking about $50 a click, and mortage.com (typo) sold for a quarter million - not to mention the fact that Citi Bank owns mortgage.com and mortgage.biz and Bank of America owns loans.com - the GTLD, mortgage.loans and home.loans are prime examples of internet banking GTLDs

In the right hands with the right traffic, it’s quite something; even as an educational site with paid partners, but I believe Janovers’ focus was to educate the consumer before trying to sell them something, which most lenders don’t bother to do

what was your roi range on this one?

I don't think the op owned the name, he was the broker.

Congrats on your sale, is there any hope for this domain I own: onlinepayday.loan

It’s a triple keyword GTLD - which also has the unplural extension .loan ~ GTLDs have not really hit an investment field where triple keywords are worth that much, you need to focus on popular single words that directly correlate with the said market and match the extension properly or choose high valued double keyword combinations; even then in any extension, triple keywords don’t really see too much uprise in investment ~

PM me If you’d like to know more

Congrats on the sale

I tried to see if the domain was a website yet etc but there is another similar domain also a Gtld that is an actual website

Mortgage dot claims

I have similar gtlds in similar sectors

What do you all think of mortgage.fyi
?

 

[Alessandro Couteau]

What do you all think of mortgage.fyi
?

Gash

It’s a strong keyword, however the extension needs to make sense,

I don’t see mortgage.fyi being valuable at the present moment ~ but if you had a company that had the abbreviation FYI and was a mortgage lending company - then perhaps, but as it stands, $xxx (low)

Thanks for showing it though
