Hello, Did you have a particular listing in mind. I know that Realtors have access to that in our systems. Some third party websites may gave it but I have run into too many instances where third part websites have very very wrong information. The only website that I use now is HAR.com
Feel free to contact me if needed.

As a potential purchaser or investor, I totally understand a buyer requesting information about the length of time a home has been listed on the market! This confidential information definitely brings knowledge to the table and may give a buyer an advantage when they make an offer and negotiate a contract with a seller.
When communicating with a licensed real estate agent in the State of Texas, and you ask them to disclose information about a property, they will inform you of your options for representation according to the Information About Broker’s Services (IABS). Every Texas licensed real estate broker/sales agent is mandated to discuss representation and the IABS with you before having a substantive conversation about a property. Unless you have a signed buyer representative agreement with a broker, or you are working with a broker/broker’s sales agent who has created an agency relationship with you, all other licensed brokers/sales agents, according to the Texas Real Estate Commission, owe a fiduciary duty to the listing broker and the seller. This is the reason why “DOM” is not displayed on HAR’s public portal.
As a higher standard of practice, in addition to being a Texas licensed real estate broker/sales agent, REALTORS® follow and abide by the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics (COE). According to NAR’s COE Standard of Practice 1-9, we are under an obligation “to preserve confidential information.” If you are not represented by a buyer’s broker/agent, you are at a significant disadvantage during contract negotiations and throughout the buying and closing process. I highly encourage you to interview several agents, find the right “REALTOR® fit” for your needs and personality, and then ask them to represent you before previewing homes. When you are deciding on a REALTOR® always remember you are searching for a professional you can trust with one of the largest investments of your life. Take your time and choose wisely.
