When the time comes to list the farm for sale, it is often listed as one entire package. Purchasers are told, “take it all or take none.” The rationale is that farmers don’t want to be left with a portion of the farm to either crop themselves or find a renter for. Hard to argue with the logic, however, putting it up for sale in this manner severely limits the number of potential buyers and, in turn, significantly reduces what owners can get for their land. Due to this limiting approach, the property may never sell or only receive low offers.
Consider a different asset: If you owned seven rental houses in Saskatoon, you would never say you will only sell to someone wanting all seven. To do so would drastically affect your number of buyers.
Similarly, a farmer upgrading to new line equipment would never consider listing the used combine, swather, discbine, large square baler, and PTO auger for sale on Kijiji as a package available to only one buyer. The buyer of the combine may not want a baler or discbine and will price their offer accordingly, while a different buyer just wanting the large square baler is prevented from making an offer for the baler alone, even though they might be willing to pay almost a new price for it.
At CLHbid.com, we know that packaging is as crucial as your soil classification. We also know that flexibility is everything when it comes to engaging the highest number of bidders, which means more money in the end for the Seller.
Using the CLHbid.com platform, we sell your farm on one day, but not necessarily to one buyer. Bidders are still able to bid on a specific parcel, but our innovative ‘en bloc’ feature at the end of the sale allows certain qualified bidders to also bid on the entire farm by paying the ‘en bloc’ premium. This gives more options to bidders and results in higher profits for the Seller.
At CLHbid.com, we ring out the sponge when it comes to getting maximum value for your land. We go well beyond just selling land—we maximize value through the sale process.

Contact CLHbidQuestions Similar To "Why Does Selling My Entire Farm as a Single Package Limit My Profit?"
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.
