Sedo's Mark Ghoriafi Closes Law.ai Sale in One of the Biggest .AI Transactions to Date

In our latest bi-weekly domain sales report that came out last night (August 13), the main takeaway was how thoroughly .com and .ai were now dominating the high end of the domain aftermarket. On our latest Top 20 Sales Chart every entry except one was either a .com or a .ai. So, it wasn't a big surprise to learn less than 24 hours later that Law.ai has just changed hands for $350,000 in the 3rd highest .ai sale ever reported, exceeded only by You.ai at $700,000 in 2023 and Cloud.ai at $600,000 last month.  

The person who brokered the Law.ai sale - Sedo's Mark "Mr. Premium" Ghoriafi, was not a surprise either. Mark already held three of the Top 20 publicly reported sales year to date in

Double.com ($980,000), Pack.com ($600,000) and Dollars.com ($500,000). Now he has four with Law.ai to be added to our YTD Top 100 when we publish our next bi-weekly update August 27.

Mark represented the seller in the Law.ai negotiations and, as is the case with many high end transactions, it took considerable time, effort and patience to get the deal done. As just one example, Arch.com is #2 on our latest chart after selling for $701,000. Mark Daniel at Domain Holdings Group brokered that sale and he told me he had started working on it 7 years ago! That kind of tenacity is what separates the top brokers from the pack and Mark Ghoriafi has it as well.

Mr. Premium told me, "I  first established communication with the subsequent buyer of Law.ai in 2024 but the initial talks didn't produce a final outcome. Communication was re-established in June of this year and after several more weeks of talks the $350,000 agreement was achieved."

Mark added, "There will often be bumps in the road with with domain sales. Being able to find amicable and accommodating paths to satisfy all parties is key for victory. Follow-up, flexibility, and a polite flow of conversation helped get this to the finish line. Rather than wait for opportunity, Mark's advice is to "go create opportunity, and navigate to success!"
