Ranchers are familiar with the concept of culling to improve the value of their herd. This is a fundamental concept that can apply to your farmland base as well. We know that the assemblage of large tracts of land can bring significant added value to the seller when the time comes to sell. Buyers will pay a sizable premium for large contiguous parcels of land.
If you’re a farmer with remote quarters that don’t fit geographically into your main operation, it may be time to consider monetizing these quarters. They likely fit into someone else’s operation quite nicely, meaning they will pay a premium on sale day.
For the seller, a sale provides you with tax-free funds to pay down debt in the short term and better position yourself for down the road when replacement land becomes available closer to your existing land base. Patience in adding key parcels to your main base will, in the end, significantly increase the value of all your land.

Contact CLHbidQuestions Similar To "Is my remote land parcel worth more to my neighbor than it is to me?"
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.
