According to a press release, another good short .com just got gobbled up by an end User.
The domain name Refi.com was just acquired by Semper Home Loans, an Inc. 5000 company, for an undisclosed sum .
“The Refi.com website will be a customer-focused site, where potential homebuyers can learn more about mortgages, real estate market trends, new legislation affecting real estate finance, and web-based mortgaging, according to a spokesperson at Semper. Integrated social media, including Twitter, blogs, forum discussions, and Facebook, will be a larger part of Semper Home Loans’ outreach to younger, more tech-savvy borrowers. In order to provide these services as effectively and efficiently as possible, Semper has retained Konnessi (Konnessi.com) also based in Providence. Konnessi, in addition to assisting with the sale of the domain, will be providing ongoing web development and web marketing services.”
“”At the end of the day, Semper Home Loans and Refi.com are about giving people the opportunity to get the best deal possible. We want to be to the mortgage industry what Amazon.com was for bookbuyers.”
Semper also owns refi.co.uk.
the news is interesting only if the (unknown) selling price is high
Your comment would be more interesting if it actually said sOmething that contributed to society rather than a veiled attempt to promote PS domains
Mid-Hi six figures.

I see the ad to a site that sells domains in your blog linked in your signature
I work in commercial banking – bigger than refi’s will be balloon payment mortgages & loans – big banks are structuring products to roll out in ’12.
Refi’s will still be big, but it’s kind of old news.

Great domain name is in the eyes of the beholder!!!
@ Pete78
Balloon payment mortgages & such are still a type of mortgage
Structured products can only be one (mortgage) or the other (refinance).
There is no new 3rd thing you talk about
With (lack of) knowledge a ‘commercial banker’ like you has, it’s no wonder why the credit crisis happened
Balloon payment mortgages & loans are horrible products. They are almost certain to default or be refinanced away. Big banks must still be the idiots they proved to be back in 2006-2008.
Good news for the domain owner. Just wondering how they manage to sell the domain ? I have problems selling all my good 4 letters domains. Maybe i need to develop it rather han just parking for sales
