Domain Brokerage Network — Broker Advantage Program
Two tiers. Unrivalled inventory. Industry-leading commissions.
DBN equips professional domain brokers with exclusive inventory, smart tooling, and a commission structure built to reward performance — from your very first sale to the highest echelons of the network.
Why DBN
Every domain in the DBN portfolio is positioned at Broker Advantage Pricing — a deliberate discount over the standard market prices listed on Sedo, Afternic, and comparable platforms.
Portfolio Tiers — Domain Classification
Broker Tiers
Every broker starts at Qualified level upon acceptance and can progress to Senior status. Each tier unlocks more inventory, higher commissions, and deeper partnership.
Commission Structure
Commissions are calculated on the net sale price. Wholesale pricing applies to highly liquid domains — single keywords, names up to 4 letters or 5 digits — when selling at less than 50% of market price, or within a discounted bundle.
| Broker Tier | Qualification | Standard Sale | Wholesale Sale Applies to highly liquid domains: single keywords, max 4-letter / 5-digit names, selling below 50% of market price or within a discounted bundle ⓘ See definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold · Qualified | Application accepted | 25% | 12.5% |
| Platinum · Senior | $100K+ in sales | 25% | 12.5% |
Exclusive Domain Reservations
Reserve domains exclusively for your clients. No competing brokers. Your leads, your deals — for the full reservation window.
| Tier | Tier 1 Domains Premium · $9K–$100K |
Tier 2 Domains Curated · $2,501–$8,999 |
Tier 3 Domains Deal · $999–$2,500 |
Exclusivity Window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gold · Qualified | Up to 1 | Up to 6 | Up to 15 | 30 days |
| Platinum · Senior | Up to 5 | Up to 30 | Up to 75 | 60 days |
Senior Broker Program
Senior Brokers are not just top performers — they are partners in DBN's future. Reach $100K in sales or receive a direct invitation to join the most exclusive tier in the network.
Earn ongoing commissions on the activity of every broker you refer to DBN — permanently, for as long as they remain active. Full details and rates are available in your private member dashboard. Build a revenue stream that compounds with the network's growth.
Senior Brokers hold five times the exclusive domain allocation of the Qualified tier, with a 60-day reservation window. More premium names, longer runways, bigger deals.
Your profile is featured on the DBN homepage and across all relevant domain landing pages. Become one of the most visible brokers in the professional domain market.
A seat on the DBN Council — the leadership panel that shapes product direction, inventory strategy, and network policy. Vote on the future of DBN and share in its commercial upside as the network scales.
Broker Tooling
DBN provides the full infrastructure so you can focus entirely on brokerage — not operations.
Real-time domain valuations, comparable sales data, and traffic metrics — everything needed to price, pitch, and close with confidence.
Instant branded assets for every domain. Professional logos and marketing banners at a click — no designer needed.
Track your pipeline, reserved inventory, deal status, commissions earned, and progression toward the next tier — all in one place.
Every domain you reserve gets a high-converting landing page that promotes both the domain and your broker profile. All inquiries flow directly to you.
