The handoff: escrow without surprises

The handoff: escrow without surprises
The deal isn't done at 'yes' — the transfer is where flips break:

— Escrow.com: standard for $1k+ deals; buyer funds, you push, then funds release.
— Push vs transfer: same registrar = instant account push; different registrar = 5-7 day transfer + auth code + unlock.
— 60-day lock: ICANN locks transfers for 60 days after a registration or prior transfer — disclose it before you sell.

📌 Pick of the day: keep buyable names at a registrar that supports fast pushes; it closes deals while momentum is hot.

Why it matters: a buyer cooling off during a 7-day transfer is a real lost-sale risk. Source: ICANN transfer policy.
