Two New Jersey rules worth checking

Transfer fees when a deed is recorded

New Jersey charges a realty transfer fee when a home sale deed is recorded. A separate graduated percent fee may also apply to a home sale over $1 million unless the transfer is exempt. Reduced rates and exemptions have eligibility rules; if you think one may apply, ask your title or closing professional what the deed requires, including any sworn form.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Jersey's realty transfer fee and any applicable graduated percent fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
