We are proven leaders who have bought and sold millions of dollars worth of domains dating all the way back to the early 1990's. It is also a very exclusive, elite club where membership is earned not given, bought or won.

To protect our consultants and appraisers as well as to discourage any outside, third-party influence on appraisals and consultations, the identities of all S&F Appraisers is kept strictly confidential on the appraisals - appraisers are identified by number.

Each candidate undergoes four (4) stages:
