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

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
No. A valuation request is informational and carries no cost or obligation. You can review the estimate and decide whether a donation makes sense for you.
Absolutely. Second homes and vacation properties are common donations — they often carry significant appreciation and ongoing costs that a gift resolves at once.
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. 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.
Most donations close within a few weeks once title review and the appraisal are complete — considerably faster than a traditional listing in most markets.
