A traditional Audubon sale means agent fees, staging, repairs, and months of open houses. A donation transfers title directly — none of that applies.
Vacant homes, inherited houses, and tired rentals carry taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Donating a Audubon property ends the carrying costs in one step.
Every organization listed for Audubon is a pre-screened, IRS-qualified public charity equipped to accept real property.

A conventional sale in Audubon is a project: repairs, staging, a listing agent, inspections, and a closing that can slip by weeks. For an inherited or vacant property, the carrying costs stack up the entire time.
A charitable donation collapses that timeline. The receiving charity handles title work and accepts the property as-is, so there is nothing to fix and nothing to show.
A transparent, four-step process ensures a smooth transition from property to philanthropy. (The exact process may differ between organizations, these are the general phases)
Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your property's market value and suitability for donation.
Their experts handle title searches, environmental checks, and prepare all necessary transfer paperwork.
The property is officially transferred to the charity. You receive IRS Form 8283 for tax deduction purposes.
The property is sold and proceeds are distributed to your chosen charity to fund their mission.
Getting started is simple: share a few details about the Audubon property and request a free, no-obligation valuation. There is no commitment at this stage and no cost to ask.
From there, a qualified 501(c)(3) equipped to accept real estate reviews the property and handles the appraisal coordination, title work, and closing directly with you. Easy Real Estate Donation connects you with that organization — the donation itself is completed between you and the charity.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Selling first triggers capital gains tax and sale costs, shrinking the amount left to give and to deduct. Donating the property directly skips the gain entirely and bases the deduction on full fair market value — usually the more efficient route for appreciated Audubon real estate.
Yes. Farmland, ranch land, and other agricultural property can be donated like any other real estate. Acreage with crops, leases, or water rights is reviewed by the receiving charity during assessment.
Yes. Undeveloped land, empty lots, and parcels around Montgomery County are all eligible. Land is often a strong candidate to donate because it produces no income while still generating a property tax bill.
Typically nothing out of pocket. The receiving charity generally covers title work, closing, and related costs, and there are no agent commissions on a donation.
