A traditional Church Hill sale means agent fees, staging, repairs, and months of open houses. A donation transfers title directly — none of that applies.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Fair market value for a real estate deduction is established by a qualified appraisal, not by an online estimate or the tax-assessed value. The IRS requires that appraisal for property gifts above $5,000.
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.
The deduction applies to the tax year in which the title transfer is completed. Donors aiming to claim it in a particular year often start early enough to leave room for the appraisal and title review before December 31.
State tax treatment of charitable gifts varies — some states offer their own deduction or credit and others do not. Because the rules differ, confirm the Tennessee specifics with a local tax advisor.
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.
Residential homes, vacant land, commercial buildings, and multi-family properties can all qualify. Condition and title issues are addressed during review rather than disqualifying a property upfront.
