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.

Will CLHbid.com accept offers prior to a sale?
If a buyer wants to make an offer in advance that is acceptable to our Seller, we are fine selling by Private Treaty.
My farm is owned by my corporation. How can CLHbid.com’s tax expert’s help me to maximize my sale price?
Individuals holding shares of a family farm corporation may utilize their lifetime capital gains exemption with proper tax planning. 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.
