A Mound sale generates a stack of settlement paperwork. A donation produces a single qualified appraisal and a charity acknowledgment letter — the two documents that substantiate the gift at tax time.
Proceeds from your gift fund real programs — housing, youth services, food security — operating in and around Mound.
A property donation in Mound skips the public listing, the open houses, and the price history that a sale leaves on the record.
Turn your property into a second chance at life.

Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your property's market value and suitability for donation.

Getting started is simple: share a few details about the Mound 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.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Largely, yes. A donation avoids the public listing and price history a sale creates. The deed transfer itself becomes a public record, as all property transfers do, but the gift draws far less attention than an open-market sale.
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.
For high-value Mound properties the case is often stronger: the larger the unrealized gain, the more capital gains tax a donation avoids, and the larger the fair-market-value deduction.
Often yes. Liens and unpaid property taxes add steps but do not automatically disqualify a gift. The receiving charity reviews any encumbrances during its assessment and explains how they affect the donation.
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.
Often yes, though a mortgage adds complexity and can affect the deduction. The charity will review the outstanding loan balance during the assessment stage.
