Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
The receiving charity manages title searches, the deed transfer, and required filings. You provide property details and sign the transfer documents.
Largely, yes. A donation avoids the public listing and price history a sale creates. The deed transfer itself becomes a public record, as all property transfers do, but the gift draws far less attention than an open-market sale.
Most donations close within a few weeks once title review and the appraisal are complete — considerably faster than a traditional listing in most markets.
Yes. You select the cause that fits your intent. We can also route your gift to a featured partner organization equipped to handle real estate efficiently.
For property held more than a year and given to a public charity, the deduction is generally the fair market value set by a qualified appraisal. The actual tax savings depend on your appraised value, income, and filing situation, so confirm the figure with your tax advisor.
