- You may have inherited a house from a loved one that you have no use for, so you want to honor their memory by donating it to their favorite cause.
- Or you purchased a piece of land with the intention of building on it, but never wound up having the time. So, each year you pay taxes for something you do not use.
- Perhaps you invested in property, and over the years it accrued a lot of value. In some cases, the capital gains taxes you would need to pay if you sold make it smarter to donate and receive a large tax deduction.
We are now partnering with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services) to process real estate donations to benefit Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition. The program takes any property type (land, homes, commercial) in any location so long as there is equity — even if you owe back taxes, have a mortgage balance, or deferred maintenance. They will pay off all loans, liens, commissions owed and pay all closing costs, and we receive 70-90% of the proceeds. If you have a real estate asset that is costing you money or not being utilized, please consider donating it to SCBC! Click the link or call 844-277-HOME (4663).
