The CLHbid.com platform was designed, in part, to alleviate the stress that we, as lawyers and accountants, often witnessed surviving family members had to endure when selling estate farmland. A farm estate sale is complex, with the farm or ranch often viewed as more akin to another family member with a life of its own, as opposed to ‘just land’.

We give executors peace of mind as they work through the selling process:

A set exit date and the ability to make plans – the platform offers executors and beneficiaries the ability to plan for a set exit date following probate. Executors see the entire farm up for sale on one day as opposed to selling the farm off piece by piece, over months or years.

Extensive marketing – we use state of the art marketing to ensure your property receives maximum exposure. We bring the land to the attention of a wide range of potential buyers as opposed to an old school estate tender ad in the local regional newspaper. We are not regional like a local real estate office. We sell land across Western Canada and often we see buyers buying from outside the area.

Bidding process – our online escalating tender platform engages the widest spectrum of bidders. Once outbid, bidders have the opportunity to bid again, all from the complete privacy of the bidder’s home. This is unlike newspaper estate tender to a law firm, where you have only one chance to bid (with no transparency), and no chance to up your bid. Once outbid bidders receive the confidence the value is there and keeping bidding.

Achieving Maximum value - at CLHbid.com we believe beneficiaries are entitled to receive full value for the land. Tenants, neighbours and relatives deserve to be treated fairly, but that doesn’t mean buying at under market value. Our team at CLHbid.com doesn’t believe saving relationships should come at a financial cost. Executors and beneficiaries are able to tell interested parties “we hope you get it on sale day” and, by using our interactive bidding format, all can participate. No legal claim can ever be made against the Executor by beneficiaries that the land was sold below fair market value once sold on an open and honest price discovery platform.

Don’t have to all agree on value - we don’t allow an Executor to bid on behalf of the estate however if one beneficiary wishes to buy a specific parcel for sentimental or other reasons they are free to bid and buy at market value. Alleviating the need for all beneficiaries to agree on values in advance.

Our team includes CPA’s that work with your advisors. Our team includes CPA’s who know the Capital Gains Exemption on farm land and corporate shares. We have the depth to work with your advisors to ensure tax is minimized.

Let us help you maximize the value for you as an executor and for the beneficiaries. Working with your advisors, our team will help guide you through the entire process.
