Is there any way to pre-verify ownership of domain?

    I'm trying to list a domain for sale (there's no web site), and it requires that I verify my ownership of the site by adding a TXT record to my DNS configuration. I've done that, but several hours later I'm still getting an error message when I try to Create Sale saying that the ownership verification failed. I assume that it's because the change needs to propagate, but that's taking a while. Is there any way I can get the TXT record ahead of time so I can pre-verify any domains that I'm thinking of selling? I assume that the TXT record is different for each domain.

    You can link your Google Webmaster Tools account where your domains are verified. The system will allow domains you've already verified in Google Webmaster Tools to count as verified here. The same applies to CloudFlare (if you use CloudFlare and you have already verified them, the system will take that verification).

    As far as DNS verification, it shouldn't take hours to propagate. What is the domain?

    It's carelectronics.reviews. Can I verify them in Google Webmaster Tools without adding them to Analytics? I'm at my limit there.

    I would assume so. Google Webmaster Tools doesn't have anything to do with Google Analytics.

    I guess that was kind of a dumb question. I just verified it with Google, and it worked this time. Thanks for the help.
