      I am looking for a service that handles clients who want to purchase domains that are owned and in use and someone wants to purchase them incognito. Does anyone know of (preferably have experience with) a service that will handle this type of domain purchase activity. An example would be if I knew of moz.com but wanted to buy it because I had invented a Moz machine that was worth zillions. I only want the .com and I do not want the owner to know who is purchasing. 
      Thanks for any assist you can provide.

      Robert

        Hi Robert,

        You are going to want an escrow service of sorts, perhaps someone like Escrow.com or Agreed.com. I do recall someone saying that Sedo offer domain brokerage, but again, you would need to have a look.

        I hope this gives you a few places to look at.

        -Andy

          Thanks Andy,

          I had done a bit of searching and had decided Escrow.com was best for the transfer of money and domain. I am looking for something a bit more than a "platform" which is what I think Sedo is. I need that interpersonal touch as I am trying to abide by rules the client has established (she wants to be hidden in the purchase so as not to drive up the price). My fear is that even if a platform promises that, I need the humans behind it to promise as well.

          Thanks,

          Robert

            Would you not be able to handle the human element yourself Then look at something like Escrow.com to handle the sale? I have done this myself in the past for my clients.

              I can't as due to a couple of relationships it would out the client. The client is large enough that these people would know their (our client's) marketing firm which is my company. I even thought about having an employee handle it, but the purchase is too important to the client for it to fall through if we can get close. 
              Thanks,
