Dane County Register of Deeds ↗Wisconsin sale cost
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 transfer fee is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt. Recording and other closing charges are separate.
When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate from those promises.
