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.

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.

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.
