Getting started is simple: share a few details about the Stone Ridge 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.
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.
Income property comes with a workload — tenants, repairs, vacancies, and the bookkeeping that follows. When a Stone Ridge owner is ready to step back, a sale can mean capital gains tax plus depreciation recapture.
Donating the building instead routes its full value to charity and ends the management role in a single transfer. Existing leases and the property's condition are reviewed by the receiving charity during assessment.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
Yes. Undeveloped land, empty lots, and parcels around Loudoun County are all eligible. Land is often a strong candidate to donate because it produces no income while still generating a property tax bill.
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.
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.
It depends on the organization. Some charities sell donated real estate and direct the proceeds to their programs; others may put a property to use directly. The receiving charity can explain its intended use before you complete the gift.
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.
