SEATTLE, Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Donuts Inc., the global leader in high-quality, new top-level Internet domains, today announced home.loans was acquired for $500,000, believed to be the largest sale to date for a premium new domain name. The sale was brokered by Donuts senior domain consultant Jebidiah Burnett.
Home.loans (www.home.loans) was acquired by Home.Loans LLC founder and chief executive officer Blake Janover, a serial entrepreneur, digital media visionary and capital markets innovator. Janover is launching the home.loans website; its primary focus is to be the Internet's most complete, well organized, and responsive source for "all things home loans."
"We are leading an industry transformation and starting in a small niche. It's about putting the end user first and leveraging technology to empower consumers with as much knowledge and resources as possible, on an easy and intuitive platform. Our focus is user experience and empowerment." said Blake Janover. "Home.loans is the ideal organic search term and digital media asset for this business. The website URL is the brand, which will help us drive awareness rapidly and cost-effectively. It creates an absolutely clear vision for the entirety of the site -- we won't be selling credit cards or car loans."
Home.loans joins a portfolio of websites that includes: Multifamily.Loans, HUD.Loans, and CommercialRealEstate.Loans. The objectives of these businesses, says Janover, are to simplify and streamline complicated loan products, and provide access to more sources of more competitively-priced capital for consumers, multifamily investors and developers. These websites help loan seekers navigate complex lending alternatives to discover and select the best possible solution from a variety of financing products and lenders.
"We're excited to be affiliated with yet another innovative business that's leveraging the power of a Donuts premium name," said Matt Overman, senior vice president of sales, Donuts. "Blake is an amazing entrepreneur with an outstanding track record launching new businesses. He purchased the best possible name for his new venture. We look forward to supporting the rapid growth and success of home.loans in its marketplace."
