Whether a map or GPS, most people don’t embark on a journey without proper navigation. Similarly, we wouldn’t expect you to travel the real estate gift road alone. Our real estate professionals are experts who have navigated various routes to help donors in their quest to solve unique property challenges. Below are the major “pitstops” our team will guide you through to keep you fueled up as you drive toward a meaningful gift for Aggieland.

Start here...

1. Destination Drive

Contact the Texas A&M Foundation’s real estate services team to discuss the type of property you would like to give and your preferred method.

2. Evaluation Expressway

Provide property information and documents to the real estate team for initial evaluation. The team will guide you on what to provide.

3. Permit Parkway

The Foundation secures a title report and a Phase I environmental study depending on the gift method and type of property to be donated.

4. Appraisal Access Road

You obtain a “qualifi ed appraisal” in accordance with Internal Revenue Service Publication 561.

5. Review Roundabout

The Foundation reviews all necessary information and provides the final acceptance decision in writing.

6. Legal Loop

Your legal counsel prepares a draft of the general warranty deed for the Foundation’s review, and you execute and deliver it to the Foundation.

7. Texas A&M Tollway

The Foundation records the deed and introduces you to development professionals who offer areas of interest to consider as you decide which Texas A&M University passions you’d like your gift to support.
