What domain name should I choose? 

Thank you for exploring your options with .realtor and .realestate domains! Choosing the right domain name is a critical step in building your online identity. Here’s how to decide:

1. Match Your Brand: Use your existing business name or personal brand for consistency.
   Example: If your business is "Dream Home Realty," you could use "DreamHome.Realtor" or "DreamHome.RealEstate."

2. Keep It Simple and Memorable: Opt for a name that’s easy to type and recall. Short and clear domains resonate better with clients.
   Example: Instead of "JaneDoeLuxuryRealEstateServices.Realtor," try "JaneDoe.Realtor" or "LuxuryHomes.RealEstate."

3. Highlight Your Niche or Location: Showcase your specialty or the area you serve to attract your target audience.
   Example: "Beachside.RealEstate" or "AustinProperties.RealEstate."

4. Personal Branding: If your name is your brand, use it to establish trust and recognition. Your first or last name must be next . for .realtor names. 
   Example: "JohnSmith.Realtor" or "SmithGroup.RealEstate."

5. Mix and Match: Use .realtor for a professional, trusted image and .realestate for broader or creative branding.
   Example: "Colleen.Realtor" could link to your personal services, while "YourNeighborhood.RealEstate" could serve as a community resource.

Both domains are powerful tools to set yourself apart. When using .realtor, remember to follow the domain naming rules to ensure compliance.
