Real Estate Give is the online platform dedicated to facilitating real estate donations for charity. We sell donated properties to fund IRS-certified 501(c)3 nonprofits in partnership with us, enabling them to support their missions.

Your donation will entitle you to receive a significant tax deduction based on your property’s current appraised value – not to mention you will pay no capital gains tax. We also cover all transfer and closing costs. Additionally, you will no longer have to bear the expenses related to property maintenance, holdings, repairs, and operating costs.

Yes. Proceeds from the sale of your donated real estate go to our IRS-certified 501(c)3 nonprofit partner organizations. To learn more about the nonprofits we support, check out their pages here. You choose which nonprofit you want to support with your donation. Alternatively, you can entrust us to select the beneficiaries of your gift.

A qualified independent appraiser typically determines the value of the donated property through a fair market assessment.

We have designed a simple and convenient real estate donation process. Once you contact us, we will thoroughly review the property you are offering to donate – from its title to zoning, liens, condition, and any possible environmental concerns. In addition, we’ll take a look at the local real estate market, look at comps in the area, and look at the cost of any repairs, if needed. Once we decide to accept your donation, we will take care of the appraisal and all the paperwork, including deed transfer and closing. We will deliver you the receipt and the proper IRS forms for tax deduction purposes.

The average time varies based on property type and location. However, it typically takes anywhere from 30-180 days from first contact to final transfer. Property appraisal, title search, and legal document preparation may influence the duration. It may take even longer if there are additional complexities, such as tenants in the property, property liens, or ongoing litigation.

Yes, to determine the property’s value for tax and transfer purposes, a proper appraisal is required. We will work with you and the contracted appraisal firm to conduct the appraisal as quickly as possible.

Four main real estate types are qualified for our donation program: residential, commercial, industrial, and land. This includes, but is not limited to - RV Lots and Marina Slips, Single-Family Homes and Condos, Office Buildings and Retail Centers, Agricultural Farmland and Vacant Land, and Warehouses and Manufacturing Facilities. We have a flexible and inclusive approach when it comes to property donations, making it possible for us to accept a wide variety of properties. Feel free to contact us at (866) 912-0707 and one of our real estate donation experts will assess whether your property qualifies for donation.

While we deeply appreciate the generosity of our donors, we are unable to accept donations of grave plots due to the complex legal and regulatory issues surrounding burial rights and cemetery land. Additionally, we are unable to process timeshare donations due to the complexities associated with their ownership and the potential for ongoing financial obligations.

The tax deduction amount that real estate donors can claim is based on the property’s full appraised value, not the sale price. We recommend you consult with your tax advisor to understand the specific benefits of your tax situation.
