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.

CLHbid.com works extensively with tax lawyers specializing in this area and works with the Seller’s trusted advisors to minimize taxes upon sale of the land. At CLHbid.com, we respect owners’ long-term relationships with local advisors and work with them.
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.
