No one knows better than farmers that using the right tool for a specific job is priceless. The crescent wrench may work in a pinch, but the right-sized Snap-On metric wrench makes the job that much easier. It is not merely a question of getting the job done, but more importantly, the end result.
Selling farmland is no different. You want the platform that gives you the best results—that is CLHbid.com. We are a ‘specialty tool’ designed specifically for the selling of farmland.
If the platform used for selling furniture in Kelowna in 1958 was the right platform for selling farmland nowadays, that would be a strange anomaly. At CLHbid.com, we also don’t profess to be Walmart; we don’t specialize in all areas. We don’t sell lake lots or acreages, and our slogan is not “where everything sells regardless of price.” We as a team are proud of that.
Anyone can create a sale, but the real question is the lasting, lifelong results for the owner. At CLHbid.com, our focus is never to create a simple liquidity event for our client, but to monetize their land in a manner that ensures maximum value and benefit for the rest of their life and their family’s life. You only sell your land once, and we believe we have the best platform to help you get it right.

Contact CLHbidQuestions Similar To "Why Does Selling Farmland Require a Specialty Tool, Not a General Platform?"
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.
