Keep the transfer fee separate from other balances
On a Wisconsin sale that is not exempt, the real estate transfer fee is 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100 — $300 on a $100,000 sale. It is collected when the deed is recorded; some transfers are exempt, and recording 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. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
