A Wisconsin sale-cost rule
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, and some transfers are exempt. Ask the closing professional to confirm the amount and whether an exemption applies to the deed.
When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
