closed Received an enquiry for Remortgage.us

Laird Mobi · Oct 13, 2004

Hello i have had a request for the price of remortgage.us, how much should i accept, i am not too hot on .us domains, i also have been told that remortgage is not a common term in the us, i think the us call it refinance mortgage???? Any feedback would be gratefully received.

Cheers Chris

what have they offerred? I still figure you've got a great domain there that can only increase in value.I'm not us based so have little knowledge of us finance keywords but if it was mine i'd want low $xxxx

Did the enquiry come from the US?
Did it come from an end user?

As I am sure you know many people ignore the .us as an area domain extension and view it as the two-letter word "us" - so "ReMortgage.Us" is obviously a perfect name for a loan company. A UK end user loan company may well find that a very desireable domain name to have, consequently where the enquiry came from would be significant.

Agree. To end-users, I won't go for anything less than very high 3-digit like $950, that's just for the gesture of making it LOOK less expensive.

It is a low $xxxx name end user

Good luck

Good point. "Remortgage with Us!"

Thanks for all your positive input, i think the potential buyer is based in the US, i have checked out the website, but it seems that it is a general based site for loads of things. I wont name the site obviously for privacy reasons! But i have a fair idea that the price will be far lower than those stated here!

I think i may canvas some loan companies US & UK to see what turns up! Thanks for the ideas guys. Much appreciated.

When doing so, you may want to NOT highlight your resident location (UK).

Then don't sell now!!

In my experience Wot, people are full of surprises, you never know they may make me a good offer, but personally i cant see it, as they seem to be geared to general interests, but i'd say if the company solely traded with mortgages then the price would be far higher obviously, i guess i will just have to wait and see and keep my fingers crossed!

Interesting usage but the problem is the odd word 'remortgage' (in the sense of refinancing a mortgage loan) is NOT a common term in the U.S. and sparsely used and little known in the loan or real estate industry.

Laird Mobi · Oct 14, 2004

Trader i think what nameslave was commenting about was the UK market, as a sort of slogan, we use remortgage as a common term over here, and i think the US call it a refinance mortgage???

I just looked at my database and have realised i own refinancemortgages.us also? I forgot i owned that!!! Any point in making another appraisal thread for that one?

Yes, it can mean that but RE is a little used acronym for real estate. It also appears he was using it in the sense RE stood for Refinance (most common term in US). Remortage seems to be a much more often used in the U.K.

It could do quite well in US since the rate is quite low for people to re-mortgage. Look at the ads about refinance your mortgage, they are everywhere. Rates going up, so better hurry.
