About

Hand-picked names from a 15-year collection.

Sean Hakes is a personal marketplace. I'm Sean Hakes, and I own every domain listed here. No brokers, no bulk listings, no AI-generated junk — just names I've picked one by one over the last decade and a half because I believed in them.

What's here

Exact-match category domains. Brandable two-word .coms. Geo-specific names for growing markets. Short, memorable, alliterative, plural — the characteristics that make a domain work commercially, now and in five years.

How I price them

Every Buy Now price is anchored to three things: exact-match commercial search intent, brandable memorability, and category durability. I'll happily walk through the math on any listing — there's nothing opaque about what these names are worth.

How transfers work

Every transaction is paid through Stripe (stripe.com). Once Stripe confirms cleared funds, I email you the registrar auth (EPP) code plus step-by-step transfer instructions the same business day. You submit the code at your registrar of choice and the domain pushes to your account — usually inside 24 hours.

Financing

Most domains in the catalog support a 3–13 month lease-to-own plan. You pay a down payment plus monthly installments through Stripe; ownership and the auth code transfer once the final installment clears.

Why direct

Brokers take 15–30%. Marketplaces take another cut. When you buy direct, you're working with the person who actually decided what these names are worth. Faster, cheaper, and you can ask me anything — including why I'm not selling a specific name for less.
