Donation vs. Sale: The Northwest Hills County Math
A Northwest Hills County 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.
