Built for Wisconsin closings
If you run a title agency, escrow company or real estate law practice in Wisconsin and need a website built — or your current one rebuilt — this page covers what we build into a Wisconsin title company website, the calculators and forms that come with it, and what it costs. Every site we design is built for the title industry only, and every Wisconsin build starts from the rules below.
Wisconsin title insurance rates are filed with the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance by each underwriter, and title companies conduct the closing. The seller pays a real estate transfer fee on the consideration when the deed is recorded, and the fee is filed electronically through the Department of Revenue’s eRETR system with a transfer return that the register of deeds requires before recording.
Wisconsin’s standard offer to purchase, promulgated by the state, provides that the seller furnishes title evidence — a commitment and owner’s policy — so by both custom and form the seller pays for the owner’s policy and the buyer pays for the lender’s. A seller net sheet that charges the seller only a commission and the transfer fee understates their costs; one that charges the buyer for the owner’s policy contradicts the contract they signed.
- Filed premium rates configured to your underwriter
- Real estate transfer fee computed on the consideration, charged to the seller, with eRETR noted
- Owner's premium on the seller's side per the state offer form
- Register of deeds fees by county
- Local SEO for Milwaukee, Madison, Waukesha, Green Bay, the Fox Cities, Racine and Kenosha
- Buyer cash-to-close that reflects the lighter Wisconsin buyer's side
Calculators built for Wisconsin, fitted to your site
This is the part we specialize in. Every calculator we put on a Wisconsin title website is configured to Wisconsin’s own numbers — filed premium schedules, the real estate transfer fee the seller pays and files through eRETR, register of deeds fees by county, and the seller-furnishes-title custom written into Wisconsin's standard offer to purchase — not a national average with the state name swapped in. We build each one to match your branding and drop it into your site’s layout, so it looks like it was always there, not like a widget bolted on.
Pick the tools that fit how you close in Wisconsin. Here are the six we recommend most for Wisconsin agencies; there are fourteen in total.

Transfer fee and eRETR
Wisconsin’s real estate transfer fee is paid by the seller and filed electronically with the return. The net sheet carries it.
Seller furnishes title
The state’s standard offer to purchase has the seller provide title evidence, so the seller pays the owner’s policy. The estimate follows the form.
Milwaukee, Madison, the Fox Valley
Southeast Wisconsin, Dane County and the Fox Cities are different markets. Each gets its own page.
Forms that do the back-and-forth for you
Built into your Wisconsin site so agents, lenders, buyers and sellers submit everything online — no email tag, no paper chase. Every submission comes back to you as a completed PDF, ready to drop into the file in whatever title software you use. Branded to you and mobile-friendly. These six are the ones Wisconsin agencies use most; there are eleven in total.
Submit a Contract
Clients upload a signed purchase contract and any addenda — you open the file and start title work right away.
Open form →Buyer Information Sheet
Buyers complete intake online and you receive it as a PDF — or they download it to fill out by hand.
Open form →Seller Information Sheet
Sellers complete intake online and you receive a PDF — or download it to complete on paper.
Open form →Payoff Authorization
Sellers and refinancers e-sign to authorize a payoff request — so net sheets are accurate and prior liens clear at closing.
Open form →Open a Title Order
Agents and lenders open a new file in one step — property, parties, lender, and closing date. No back-and-forth emails.
Open form →Secure Document Upload
Clients upload IDs, payoffs, and sensitive documents through an encrypted portal.
Open form →The offer form already decided who pays; the calculator should agree
Wisconsin is one of the few states where the standard purchase contract itself settles the owner’s policy question: the state-approved offer to purchase provides that the seller furnishes title evidence, and Wisconsin agents use that form on nearly every residential sale. So the seller pays the owner’s premium, the seller pays the transfer fee, and the seller’s net sheet is where those numbers live.
A calculator that follows the form — owner’s premium at your filed rate on the seller’s side, transfer fee on the seller’s side, lender’s policy and recording of the mortgage on the buyer’s — produces an estimate the agent can hand a seller with the offer. One that follows some other state’s custom produces an argument.
We build Wisconsin’s to Wisconsin’s form, keep the transfer fee current, and pair it with the register of deeds fees for the county.
Milwaukee, Madison and the Fox Valley are three markets
Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine and Kenosha counties are southeast Wisconsin, a volume market where Realtor relationships decide who closes and the site’s job is to be the fastest title office to open a file with; Kenosha in particular draws Illinois buyers who expect Illinois transfer stamps and Illinois prorations. Dane County around Madison has the university and state government and a relocation component. Brown and Outagamie counties — Green Bay and the Fox Cities — are a steady regional market with its own agents and lenders.
Each gets a page written for it. The Kenosha page speaks to the Illinois buyer about how Wisconsin differs. The Madison page knows the academic calendar. The Fox Valley page leads with the order form and the net sheet. The northern lakes get a second-home page when you serve them.
Same calculators, same intake, one funnel, a front door in each market.

Wisconsin title website questions
Who pays for the owner's title policy in Wisconsin?
The seller. Wisconsin’s state-approved offer to purchase provides that the seller furnishes title evidence, so by form and custom the seller pays the owner’s premium and the buyer pays for the lender’s policy. Our calculators follow the form.
Does Wisconsin have a transfer tax?
Yes. A real estate transfer fee is computed on the consideration and paid by the seller, filed electronically through eRETR with a transfer return the register of deeds requires before recording. The seller net sheet includes it.
How are Wisconsin title rates regulated?
Each underwriter files its rates with the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance. Premiums differ between underwriters, so the calculators are configured to yours.
Who conducts closings in Wisconsin?
Title companies. The site is built around title-company closing: order intake, contract upload, document exchange and a contact for the closer on every page.
Can a Kenosha agency's site price Illinois closings?
Yes. For southeast Wisconsin agencies that close across the line we add an Illinois-configured calculator alongside the Wisconsin one.
Which Wisconsin markets can you target?
Milwaukee and its suburbs, Madison, Waukesha, Green Bay and the Fox Cities, Racine, Kenosha, Eau Claire, the northern lakes and any other county you serve, each with its own page.
How much does a title company website cost in Wisconsin?
Adding the Wisconsin calculators and online forms to a site you already have is $75 a month. A custom 25-page title company website with every calculator, forms, hosting and local SEO is $150 a month; a 50-page build with monthly content and ads management is $399. No setup fee and no long-term contract.
Can you rebuild our existing Wisconsin title agency website?
Yes. Most of our Wisconsin builds replace an older site. We migrate your content, keep your URLs so you do not lose rankings, add the Wisconsin-configured calculators and forms, and launch on secure, ADA-compliant hosting. If you would rather keep your current site, the Add-Ons plan places the tools on it without a rebuild.
Real estate transfer fee under Wis. Stat. § 77.22; electronic transfer return under § 77.22(1). Verify current fees, register of deeds fees and filed premiums before relying on any figure.
