Joe
Uddeme
Founder, NameExperts.com |
Three veteran brokers played a role in
setting the new high water mark for the .nets. The seller was
represented by Joe Uddeme, who founded NameExperts.com
in 2015 after a successful five-year run at Domain Holdings.
Over the past 12 years Joe has racked up a long string of high end sales
and acquisitions. The buyer's broker was Tony
Adams at HQBrokerage.com.
Andy Kelly also played a role. After seeing Uddeme had
Poker.net listed, Kelly, knowing that Adams had a client that would
likely have an interest, let Adams know the domain was on the market.
Uddeme and Adams connected and worked out the deal.
Joe told me, "I saw a
tremendous opportunity targeting the end-user marketplace.
Ultimately, the highest offer was brought in from Tony. He and I have
worked together on deals in the past, and it was great to complete
this one and deliver an exceptional price for the seller. At the end
of the day, we were able to create a win-win that both buyer
and seller could be happy with."
We will be officially charting Poker.net
when our next sales report comes out March 31. As of today it would
rank as the 3rd highest sale, regardless of extension, so
far this year. It is also, by far, the biggest non
.com gTLD sale of the year to date. |
