With Bushore Church Real Estate, you receive a full and experienced, in-house representation for all of your legal, corporate, and real property needs.

Bushore Church Real Estate specializes in nearly all matters concerning Church Real Estate, including religious, nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations. We are a father and son California Real Estate team, having offices in both northern and southern California. Over decades of carving out a name for ourselves among church groups, we found a niche with locating and/or uniting church property buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants. Most of our work helps congregations stay healthy and avoid legal trouble in the first place. But when a congregation is genuinely facing a sale, a relocation, or the difficult decision to close, we walk alongside you through that process too, protecting your tax-exempt status and your congregation's interests every step of the way. Along the way, our skills have been fine-tuned covering all aspects of forming, maintaining, merging and dissolving nonprofit organizations and other business entities, and the establishment of federal and state tax-exempt status. We can also help set up your foundations.

Over the years, Bushore Church Real Estate has represented numerous small individual nondenominational churches, on up to major worldwide religious organizations. As a result, we have maintained exclusive relationships with our clients regarding all their real estate needs. In addition, we have generated long relationships with secular and parochial schools as they either expand or cease to operate.

Not just Church Real Estate

Our legal work extends well beyond real estate transactions. Through our close interactions with church congregations, we have also assisted individual members with general real estate matters, landlord/tenant disputes, estate planning including wills and trusts, resolving property liens, and defending against right of way and eminent domain threats.

We also work with cemeteries and mortuaries, even selling a few along the way.

Customer Reviews About Bushore Church Real Estate

  •   Thanks to the Bushore Real Estate Group, our small non profit found not one but two new homes. Jerry helped us negotiate a purchase agreement for an abandoned church in South Los Angeles which ultimately became home to more than 360 middle school students. Ryan and Jerry helped us negotiate a 25 year lease with an active church in Inglewood. That site is now home to more than 360 students. The second deal was incredibly complex. The experience of the team was extremely helpful in ensuring our interests were protected and our needs met. They worked day and night to make it happen for us! Alison

  •   I initially contacted Mr. Ryan Bushore as he was listed in Los Angeles Magazines 2024 Super Lawyers to help with estate planning. He is wonderful person. He largely works with churches and non-profits as well as individuals, but the best gift is his heart. After speaking with him for about 20 minutes (after he had already closed for the day!) he advised me to first reach out to a tax attorney as the most economic step to figure out a strategy with the assets. I was most grateful for the consideration!

    As he says, "I rather help people avoid a pitfall than haul them out of one afterwards," so he will advise you according to your bests interest.

    Highly recommend.

  •   As most people know, selling a church property can be challenging, to say the least. I became Church Council President for Trinity Lutheran Church approximately a year and half ago and was greatly relieved that we were able to sell our property at the most opportune time. Ryan Bushore was extremely helpful as we (Church Council) navigated everything from the viewing of the property with potential buyers to all of the paperwork once the property was sold. He even assisted us with other issues we encountered along the way to ensure we had a smooth transition leading up to the closing down of our operation. We are extremely satisfied with the service he provided and the full attention that he gave us every step of the way.

  •   We have worked with the Bushores for over ten years and their assistance and guidance in contract negotiations and selling of our northern parcel of land have been invaluable. The sensitivity they showed to the priorities of a church made them easy to work with. If you need someone to help you with real estate issues, they are the best.

  •   In all my dealings with brokers and escrow, I have never encountered the expertise and professionalism that I experienced from Bushore. Both the father and son are a wealth of information and they think of everything that you could possibly think of when it comes to doing everything right when it comes to buying and selling property. They also can help write contracts and rental agreements. I was entirely impressed with them in entire process that we purchased church building.
