Domain Advisors was founded in 2010 by Tessa Holcomb, one of the world's leading domain brokers. After watching clients navigate the impersonal, transactional world of large domain platforms, Tessa saw an opportunity to do things differently. She envisioned a boutique firm where strategy matters, relationships drive results, and every client receives the dedicated attention they deserve.
Since day one, Domain Advisors has operated with a simple philosophy: domain brokerage should feel personal. Whether you're acquiring a single premium domain, selling an entire portfolio, or rebranding your business, we take the time to understand your goals, your vision, and what success looks like to you. It's not about processing transactions, it's about building partnerships that deliver real, measurable outcomes.
We've helped hundreds of companies establish their digital identity, rebrand with confidence, and secure domain names that set them apart from the competition. From startups to established companies, our clients trust us to navigate complex negotiations, provide honest counsel, and execute with precision and discretion.
Domain Advisors brings decades of market expertise, industry relationships, and strategic insight to every engagement. We stay ahead of trends, regulations, and shifts in the domain landscape so our clients don't have to. When timing matters and stakes are high, we're the advisors you want in your corner.
Our Guiding Ethos
Our work is grounded in character, ethics, and integrity principles that guide every interaction and every outcome we pursue. We believe trust is earned through transparency, accountability, and disciplined execution, not promises. Upholding that trust is our most important responsibility.
In an industry where relationships are everything, we've built our reputation one client at a time. We don't chase volume or easy wins. We focus on doing the right thing, delivering exceptional results, and representing our clients' interests with unwavering commitment.
Internet Commerce AssociationThat commitment extends beyond individual transactions. Tessa has served on the board of the Internet Commerce Association (ICA) since 2018, helping shape industry best practices and advocate for domain owner rights. The standards she helped establish for ethical domain brokerage aren't just guidelines we follow, they're the foundation of how we operate.
For our clients, this means clear counsel, ethical representation, and advocacy aligned with their long term interests. It means honest appraisals, strategic guidance, and a broker who will walk away from a deal if it's not in your best interest. This is how we've built lasting relationships. This is how we've earned trust. And this is what sets Domain Advisors apart.
