Give Your Most Appreciated Asset
For many owners a long-held Florence property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.

Donation vs. Sale: The Florence Math
A Florence sale nets you cash, but only after agent commissions, closing costs, repairs, and capital gains tax are subtracted. What reaches your pocket is a fraction of the headline price.
A donation removes those subtractions. There is no commission and no capital gains event, and the charitable deduction is calculated on the property's full fair market value rather than the reduced net of a sale.
How a Florence Donation Works
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)
1
Property Valuation
Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your property's market value and suitability for donation.
2
Legal & Title Review
Their experts handle title searches, environmental checks, and prepare all necessary transfer paperwork.
3
Deed Transfer
The property is officially transferred to the charity. You receive IRS Form 8283 for tax deduction purposes.
4
Fund Distribution
The property is sold and proceeds are distributed to your chosen charity to fund their mission.

What Florence Homeowners Ask Us
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
What if my Florence property is worth less than I owe on it? expand_more
When the mortgage exceeds the property's value, a donation gets complicated and the usual deduction may not apply. The receiving charity reviews the loan balance early on so you know where you stand before committing.
How large a tax deduction will donating my Florence property produce? expand_more
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.
Do I have to pay capital gains tax if I donate my Florence property? expand_more
No. Donating the property directly to a charity means you never realize the gain, so the capital gains tax that a sale would trigger does not apply.
Can I deduct the full value of an expensive Florence property in one year? expand_more
The deduction for real estate is generally capped at 30% of adjusted gross income in the year of the gift, but any excess carries forward for up to five additional years.
My Florence home is worth over a million dollars — is donation still worth it? expand_more
For high-value Florence properties the case is often stronger: the larger the unrealized gain, the more capital gains tax a donation avoids, and the larger the fair-market-value deduction.
What is IRS Form 8283 and do I need it? expand_more
Form 8283 is the IRS form for reporting noncash charitable contributions. A real estate gift is reported in its Section B, signed by both the appraiser and the receiving charity, and filed with your return for the year of the donation.
