The CLHbid.com platform was designed, in part, to alleviate the stress that we, as lawyers and accountants, often witnessed family members enduring when selling co-owned land. We give owners peace of mind as they work through the selling process through several key features:
A Set Exit Date and the Ability to Make Plans
The platform offers co-owners the ability to plan for a set exit date. Owners see the land up for sale on one day. Concern over future adverse tax changes on farm property is avoided with an exit date set before the next budget is announced.
Extensive Marketing
We use state-of-the-art target marketing to ensure your property receives maximum exposure. We bring the land to the attention of a wide range of potential buyers, as opposed to only putting it up for sale by local legal tender or through a regional real estate office. We remove borders and often have buyers participating from other areas or provinces.
Novel Bidding Process
Our online escalating tender platform engages the widest spectrum of bidders. Once outbid, bidders have the opportunity to bid again, all from the complete privacy of their home. This is unlike a newspaper estate tender to a law firm, where you have only one chance to bid (with no transparency) and no chance to up your bid. Being outbid is the biggest single factor in ensuring bidders feel the value is justified, so they continue to bid.
Achieving Maximum Value
At CLHbid.com, we believe co-owners are entitled to receive full value for the land. Tenants, neighbours, and relatives deserve to be treated fairly, but that doesn’t mean paying under market value. Our team doesn’t believe saving relationships should come at a financial cost. Co-owners are able to tell interested parties, “we hope you get it on sale day,” and, by using our interactive bidding format, all can participate.
Don’t Have to All Agree on Value
Although co-owners cannot bid as a group, if one of the owners wishes to buy a parcel being sold, they are entitled to bid along with all other bidders. This eliminates the need for co-owners to try and agree in advance as to the value of the specific parcel one of them may wish to buy.
Let us help you maximize the value for your land. Working with your advisors, our team will help guide you through the entire process.

Contact CLHbidQuestions Similar To "How does CLHbid.com reduce the stress of selling co-owned land?"
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.
