Are the fees paid to the seller's and buyer's REALTORs excluded from the Property Transfer Tax calculation?

 

Thanks.

No, nither are appliances, but they should be as an appliance is a chattel.

 

I sometimes seperate out the appliances from the contract of purchase and sale, depending on the situation, to save my clients on PTT.

That must be a bit of a PITA though. Estimate value, draw up another bill of sale...

As noted, only under special circumstances....for example, to save first time buyer PTT if the seller wants high 470ish/low 480ish (including appliances) and the exemption is 475kish I'll draw it up as 475k + 5k for kitchen appliances + washer/dryer, for example.
