Real Estate Is Murrells Inlet's Most Overlooked Charitable Asset

Most giving happens in cash, but cash is rarely a donor's most appreciated asset. Across Georgetown County, a long-held home can represent decades of untaxed appreciation that a cash gift will never match.

Donating that property directly — rather than selling it and giving the proceeds — keeps the capital gains tax out of the equation entirely and routes the full value to the cause you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions for Murrells Inlet Donors

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.

Do I need an appraisal to donate real estate in Murrells Inlet? expand_more

Yes. The IRS requires a qualified appraisal to substantiate a real estate deduction over $5,000, and the appraisal must be completed close to the donation date. The receiving charity can point you toward qualified appraisers.

Is donating real estate in Murrells Inlet actually tax-deductible? expand_more

Yes. A gift of real property to a qualified 501(c)(3) is generally deductible at fair market value if you itemize and have held the property more than a year. A qualified appraisal and IRS Form 8283 document the deduction.

How do I start donating my Murrells Inlet property? expand_more

Begin with the form on this page: provide a few basic details about the Murrells Inlet property and request a free valuation. From there you are connected with a qualified 501(c)(3) that handles the appraisal, title transfer, and closing directly with you.

Can I donate a Murrells Inlet property if I live in another state? expand_more

Yes. You do not need to live in Murrells Inlet — or in South Carolina — to donate property there. The receiving charity handles the transfer, and documents can typically be signed remotely.

If I request a valuation for my Murrells Inlet property, am I committing to donate? expand_more

No. A valuation request is informational and carries no cost or obligation. You can review the estimate and decide whether a donation makes sense for you.

Can I donate a Murrells Inlet property that I own with other people? expand_more

Yes, though every owner on the title generally must agree to and sign the transfer. Jointly owned and inherited properties are common donations once the co-owners are aligned.
