If
you have visited
Escrow.com
recently you have no doubt noticed
the completely revamped website
installed by the new owners, Freelancer.com,
who acquired the company last year.
In addition to the inviting new
interface the Escrow.com crew has
been hard at work expanding backend
capabilities, office hours and
services. General Manager Jackson
Elsegood sent me a note about
the latest of those that was launched
today - the Domain
Name Concierge
service.
Escrow.com
has long been the go to platform
for thousands of buyers and sellers
who wanted to secure their
transactions. That was done by
having buyers send their money to
Escrow.com who held it until the
seller delivered the domain. The
system has safeguarded millions of
dollars in sales but some clients wanted one
more feature. In addition
to having Escrow.com hold the money,
they wanted them to hold the
domain too. That would insure
the seller followed through on their
promise to deliver the name and the
buyer could never claim the domain was
not delivered.
The
new service launched today fills
that void by giving the parties to
the sale the option of upgrading to
the Concierge service and having
Escrow.com handle both the funds and
the

transfer
of the domain to the buyer's
registrar. In addition to beefing up
security this also eliminates the
need for an inspection period
which can speed up the
transaction. Elsegood noted,
"Many buyers and sellers have
told us that they prefer the
security of an independent third
party completing the transfer of
the domain on their behalf. We are
glad we are now able to offer that
service to our customers."
Escrow.com holds accounts with
all major registrars and can receive domains via push or authorization code. Personal assistance with processing domain transfers to Escrow.com is also available over the phone and via email on business days from 8am to 11pm Pacific Standard Time.
