Rave Reviews: Realty Gift Fund's Impactful Journey in Real Estate Philanthropy

When mid-year 2022, I decided to donate roughly 50% of the proceeds of the sale of my hotel, I thought it was a simple transaction. As I worked with my lawyer and accountant, I realized that nothing in America is simple anymore. The government has got their tentacles everywhere and has overly complicated everything, including charity.

Somewhere along the way, I was lucky enough to be referred to Realty Gift Fund. I cannot express my gratitude to you two for having eternal patience as we encountered many issues. You worked diligently and creatively with my support team to resolve all issues and best of all managed to make the donation a 2022 event by closing on the donation and the sale of the hotel to a third party on the last working day of the year.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you. I must tell you that there are others providing similar services as yours, but you are by far the most reasonable in terms of cost and in my opinion the most responsive and easy to do business with.

I appreciated your constant and consistent support very much. Even before I got to know you and felt you were my friends, I could feel your warmth and compassion.

I will highly recommend you to anybody considering a real estate donation. You have the experience, knowledge, professionalism, and above all patience to take along a novice through the legal complications of real estate donation.

Warmest regards. I hope to do another transaction with you in 2023.

Working with Realty Gift Fund greatly simplified the donation of my property. They explained how the process worked, what I needed to do and kept me "in the loop" as things unfolded. Their knowledge and contacts were the key to completing a long distance transaction.

Thank You Jay! It was a pleasure working with you also. You pay attention to detail and follow through with what you say. Very accountable.

My client was looking to sell his property and donate the proceeds but was not sure about the process. Luckily he found the experts at Realty Gift Fund to seamlessly and professionally guide him through the steps required to achieve his goal. Bruce and Jay have extensive experience and it showed every step of the process right through to closing and I highly recommend them.

RealtyGiftFund.org is a very necessary organization that helps people give real estate to non-profits. The non-profits are not specialists in handling real estate, and what they really need is money.

RealtyGiftFund.org makes it possible for people and other organizations to give significant real estate gifts to non-profits without them having to handle the transaction or complications of property ownership. It is a huge win for everyone involved.

My own experience with the organization has been phenomenal, I was able to orchestrate a significant gift to the Berkeley Humane Society. The process was easy, transparent and quick, and has benefitted an organization I love.

Thank you RealtyGiftFund.org for all that you do!

Bruce Geiss and RGF have proven to be a great resource to financial advisors and their clients' considering donations of real estate to support their charitable objectives. The gift acceptance process works very smoothly, and all parties are kept fully informed during each step of the transaction. I look forward to more opportunities to work with Bruce in the years ahead on our philanthropic initiatives.

Realty Gift Fund is an excelent way to transfer over your real estate to a non profit and take a tax deduction.

I am working with them on a transaction now on a property that was just donated.

They are easy to work with, honest and will assist you in reaching your goals and getting a tax deduction.

Thanks

Jay and his team at Realty Gift Fund were exactly what my client needed to donate real estate to his favorite charity. Realty Gift Fund made the process simple and helped us all the way across the finish line. Thanks, Danny

The professional at Realt Gift Fund have successfully supported numerous charities across the country with their expertise in handling donations of real estate. Many of those donations would have been lost to the charitable world without the creative approaches RGF's staff uses to close various types of gifting arrangements.
For donors as well as charities, if real estate is the asset chosen to fund your philanthropy/mission, you might consider teaming up with RGF to help manage the process.

Bruce and his team were great to work with. Everything went smoothly and their communication was excellent!

We were introduced to Realty Gift Fund by Fidelity Charitable Donor Advised Funds and are so pleased with the results. This was a complex donation that involved infrastructure development and platting of lakeshore lots in order to increase the value of the donation. Jay Grab and Bruce Geiss were very knowledgeable, responsive and easy to work with. Their skill in managing the whole process saved us an enormous amount of time and effort and maximized our charitable contributions - as well as our tax deductions!

Realty Gift fund provided a comprehensive solution from initial consultations through sale and donation of our property. They followed through with all the paperwork and tax forms that we needed to file a charitable donation. I give a special shout out to Bruce Geiss for his expertise in the area of charitable donations.

Bruce and Jay,
Thanks to you for your good work in completing this transaction for us. You all did a great job and we are much appreciative of your efforts. I was gratifying and a relief to us to receive this good news, in an otherwise difficult time and is much appreciated.

I have worked with Realty Gift Fund on real estate transactions that include tax advantages for sellers. The team at Realty Gift Fund understand the process and made the transaction seamless. Real estate donations through an eligible 501c are a great option that many in the market are not aware of. I highly recommend working with Realty Gift Fund if you are considering a real estate contribution, whether for financial reasons or simply for goodwill.

Hello Bruce and everyone at RGF. Thank you for an excellent operation. This really was everything that I was looking for. You converted my asset into my purpose, charitable donation, with an absolute minimum of fuss on my part and in a very quick and timely manner. Super well done and I cannot recommend you highly enough.

Realty Gift Fund has been most helpful in processing my property evaluation and IRS form 8283 in the current tax year despite a late start. I look forward to working with them after they sell the property to determine the ultimate charitable beneficiaries.
