With us, you receive a full, in-house representation for all of your real property needs; allowing your organization to focus on church activities that matter in fulfilling your exempt purpose.

Bushore Church Real Estate has provided legal, real estate, and consulting services to churches and other nonprofit organizations for over forty years. Our team includes a California-licensed attorney who also holds a general contractor‘s license, real estate brokers licensed in California and New York, and a Certified General Appraiser specializing in special-use properties such as churches, schools, and cemeteries. This combination of legal and real estate credentials gives clients full in-house representation instead of having to coordinate between separate firms for legal, appraisal, and brokerage needs.

Our services cover the full lifecycle of church property ownership, from acquisition and leasing through sale or transfer, along with the corporate formation, tax-exempt status, and land use matters that come with owning and operating a nonprofit religious organization. We regularly assist clients with lease negotiations, landlord-tenant disputes, entity formation and governance, zoning and permitting issues, and property tax exemption questions specific to religious and charitable organizations.

The services listed below are a sample of what we provide. Our goal is to let clients pursue their spiritual mission without the burden of managing rental agreements, corporate governance, or tax-exempt compliance on their own. We take on that responsibility so our clients don’t have to.

Ready to List, Buy, or Lease Church Property?

Whatever legal or real estate matter brought you to this page, most of our clients eventually come to us with the same underlying goal: buying, selling, or leasing church property the right way. Because our team combines real estate brokerage with legal and appraisal expertise in-house, we’re able to represent churches and nonprofits through the entire transaction — not just the paperwork, but the zoning questions, tax-exempt considerations, and entity issues that come with it.

Church properties are rarely straightforward transactions. A congregation looking to sell an aging or underused facility often needs to navigate zoning restrictions, verify the property’s tax-exempt status won’t create complications at closing, and confirm the corporate entity holding title is in good standing — all before a sale can even be listed. Buyers face a parallel set of questions: whether a Conditional Use Permit will be required for their intended use, whether the property carries any easements or encumbrances, and whether DRE approval applies to the transaction. Having attorneys, brokers, and appraisers under one roof means these issues are identified and resolved early, rather than surfacing as delays during escrow.

If your congregation is considering selling an underused property, searching for a new space to lease, or simply wants an accurate valuation before making a decision, we’d welcome the opportunity to talk. Contact us to discuss your church’s real estate needs, or browse our current listings to see available church properties for sale or lease.
