A tax bill, lien notice, payoff letter, or court notice can help us understand the issue.

Call with the property address and whatever information you have — you do not need to gather every record first.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

On a sale that isn't exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That's $300 on a $100,000 sale. It is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
This named fee is separate from a mortgage balance, other liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Those amounts are handled separately in the closing figures.
