📣 And just like that FinCEN is upon us 📣

The Rule applies to certain residential real estate sale transactions (including some that go
beyond the typical one-to-four family residence) where the transfer is to a legal entity or trust,
and which includes cash purchases, private financing or financing provided by an institution not subject to a federal Anti-Money Laundering or Suspicion Activity Report requirement.

As part of this Rule, buyers and sellers are required to provide additional information and
documentation about themselves, their legal entities, and/or the source of funds used in the
reportable transaction. The collection of this information and documentation is required to
comply with the Rule’s federal reporting requirements

Additional information regarding the FinCEN
Residential Reporting Rule can be found at https://www.fincen.gov/rre.

Yesterday, FinCEN issued an update regarding the residential real estate reporting rule originally scheduled to take effect on December 1, 2025.

“To reduce business burden and ensure effective regulation, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today announced that it will postpone reporting requirements of the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations for Residential Real Estate Transfers Rule (RRE Rule) until March 1, 2026. FinCEN is taking this step to provide industry with more time to comply—consistent with the Administration’s agenda to reduce compliance burden—while still adequately protecting the U.S. financial system from money laundering, terrorist financing, and other serious illicit finance threats.”

📣 We will continue to monitor updates and share to help you stay informed and prepared.

📄 Important Closing Update – Wisconsin eRETR

In Wisconsin, every real estate transfer requires an Electronic Real Estate Transfer Return (eRETR) to be filed with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue before a deed can be recorded.

🔔 What’s new?
The State recently updated the eRETR system and now requires additional information for certain transactions, including:

✔ Financing details (how the purchase is being paid for)
✔ Marketing information (how the property was marketed or sold)

📌 What this means for you:
You may notice us asking a few extra questions at the closing table. These questions are required by the State and help ensure your documents are recorded properly and without delay.

As always, we’re happy to explain any part of the process — our goal is a smooth, stress-free closing experience!

✨ It’s That Time of Year! 2025 Property Tax Bills Are Rolling Out! ✨

As 2025 Property Tax bills start hitting mailboxes, now is the perfect time to double-check your closing statements. A few small details can make a big difference at the closing table!

Here’s what to keep an eye on:

🔍 2025 Property Tax Payment – Are the current year’s taxes being paid on the closing statement? Confirm it’s reflected correctly.
🔍 New Assessment Charges – Look for any new assessment charges that may impact the numbers.
🔍 Correct Tax Prorations – Make sure the prorations were calculated accurately based on your closing date and current tax amount.

These items can significantly affect your client’s bottom line — and catching discrepancies early helps ensure a smooth, stress-free closing for everyone involved.

If you ever have questions or need a second look, our team is here and happy to help!!!
