Shane's Domain Picks for Wednesday the 30th

.....and the loss of staff at Escrow

Escrow.com is showing signs of strain this quarter, especially in domain transactions. Despite handling a reported $107 million in domain sales during Q1 2025, a solid level, there are private chats that things are slipping backwards already. Turnover has spiked among team members, leaving gaps in experience and available people to help. Which of course leads to slow response times. That churn has 100% degraded the experienc, and pretty much everyone I talk to except the biggest clients have looked for alternatives. There are constant complaints about the slow process. Its blamed on KYC but we know what’s going on. Just follow the career path of your favorite person who worked there. All gone

Registrar platforms now let brokers and sellers bring their own leads directly, bypassing Escrow.com and cutting into their fee-based volume. That shift means they miss out on commissions and lose visibility into high-value deals. Meanwhile, competitors are gearing up to offer escrow services directly in next quarter. If Escrow.com doesn’t fix its employee retention issue and restore dependable support, the quarterly numbers are going to plummet. There are also 4-5 key customers that if they leave, their domain business is an afterthought.
