Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
The receiving charity manages title searches, the deed transfer, and required filings. You provide property details and sign the transfer documents.
No. Charities that accept real estate routinely take properties that need repairs, including distressed or uninhabitable buildings. Condition is reflected in the appraised value rather than ruling a property out.
Possibly. Charities accept properties with environmental questions but allow extra time for inspections and due diligence. Disclosing known concerns up front helps the receiving charity assess whether it can take the gift.
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.
