Last updated on July 17, 2026
At CLHbid.com, our unique price discovery system is designed to achieve the maximum value for your farmland through our online escalating legal tender process. Our experienced team understands agricultural land and strategically parcels land to attract the broadest possible pool of buyers. We then set thoughtfully considered starting bids that encourage initial participation and foster competition among bidders.
Our transparent online platform allows buyers to bid incrementally, clearly showing them their position and empowering them to bid again if they are outbid. Bidder name or number is not visible. Giving the Buyer complete anonymity allows all Buyers to be on a level playing field. If a Buyer doesn’t know or have a relationship with the Seller it doesn’t matter. The absolute transparency of this innovative format is a huge benefit to all parties involved. Bidders bid from the privacy of their own homes on a set day. The sale starts and finishes in a matter of hours.
This competitive environment, fueled by the trust and transparency of our legal tender system, allows the market to truly determine the optimal price for your land, ensuring you receive its full value on sale day.

How does CLHbid.com's unique 'En Bloc' feature maximize value?
On certain multi-parcel sales on CLHbid.com, once all bids are in, our ‘en bloc’ process offers only those bidders who have bid the highest on a set number of parcels to then bid against other multiple high bidders for the entire ‘en bloc’ land up for sale. To be fair to prior individual bidders, the ‘en bloc’ bidding starts at a premium amount that is in excess of the aggregate of all prior individual bids and bidders must meet requirements in order to participate in the 'en bloc' round of bidding. Buyers know it is almost impossible to be high on all parcels when selling on choice, and appreciate the ‘en bloc’ option.
What is your commission?
It is difficult to compare commission rates with others that sell farm land unless you are comparing what is all included in that commission. Choosing the cheapest service over the most comprehensive platform can result in a lower net sale price, costing sellers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some situations are more complex than others and there may be obstacles along the way. With the legal, accounting, agricultural, and marketing expertise on our team, we have proven to take what was complicated or difficult for a client and provide a solution that works for everyone. Whether it be dealing with Surface Lease Rentals, tax questions, access, subdivisions, caveats, aggregate potential, and any other matter that may affect the final outcome, that is just part of what we do. We can also handle all the legal aspects for the Seller. If you talk to prior Sellers that have used CLHbid.com, most don’t view our platform as a cost but rather a function of how much more we brought them in net value.
