Uncertain times breed apprehension and doubt—precisely what a Seller of farmland doesn’t want potential Buyers to be feeling leading up to a sale.
During times of uncertainty, it is more important than ever before to engage a price discovery system that puts buyers’ minds at ease, allowing them to bid with confidence and bring top value for the Seller. Higher interest rates coupled with declining commodity prices may make buyers question how land values have been affected. They are likely to be more skeptical about a current list price or appraisals based on trailing sales over the past couple of years.
At CLHbid.com, we give buyers confidence that the value is there, as they only pay one click more than the party behind them. This confidence means they keep bidding.
At CLHbid.com, we deliver certainty in uncertain times. Using the unique CLHbid.com platform, successful bidders know they paid fair value as they were just one bid ahead of the next bidder. Skepticism inherent in a real estate list price or a one-shot tender can negatively affect what buyers offer. We, however, know buyers will pay if they feel the value is there, and there is no better way of demonstrating that value than having them outbid.
At CLHbid.com, we put buyers’ minds at ease by giving them an honest and transparent platform, ensuring, in the end, you the Seller get the top value for a lifetime of work.

Why shouldn't I just rely on a traditional appraisal to set the selling price for my farm or ranch land?
Appraising farmland is challenging due to its immovability and the influence of extrinsic factors like neighbour demographics and access, which are difficult to quantify. Unlike chattels, farmland value is not solely based on intrinsic factors like soil class, making appraisals less reliable. CLHbid.com's experience with open market sales, with true price discovery, are necessary to accurately determine farmland value.
Should I choose the lowest fee, or the highest net return?
Choosing the cheapest service over the most comprehensive platform often results in a lower net sale price, costing sellers hundreds of thousands of dollars. CLHbid.com's platform, enhanced marketing, and professional team are focused on maximizing the final, after-tax net return—proving that higher value service results in higher seller profit.
Does a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) cost me money?
A Right of First Refusal (ROFR), while historically useful, now destroys competitive bidding and is often used by tenants to buy land for significantly below market value. CLHbid.com’s open process eliminates the need for a ROFR and ensures the seller achieves true, maximized value.
Why does a low starting bid maximize my final sale price?
CLHbid.com's Starting Bid is strategically set low to engage more buyers, build confidence, and encourage fierce, transparent competition. This "soft start" strategy consistently drives final sale prices up, often exceeding expectations and resulting in maximum value for the seller.
