Wisconsin selling costs

Wisconsin real estate transfer fee

On a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That is $300 on a $100,000 sale. The fee 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.

That named fee is separate from liens and other charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Ask the closing professional to identify any exemption and show the transaction-specific charges.
