CLHbid.com Testimonials
Price Discovery System
After considering different sales options, we chose the CLHLaw online process, which ensured our most important consideration; that anyone interested have an equal, fair and transparent opportunity to purchase our land. The exposure through large on sight signage, broadly distributed advertising and a very effective website, brought together a varied array of interested buyers that provided the most effective form of open price discovery possible. We were pleased with the overall outcome and happy as well to hear from the new landowners who felt they paid a fair price. Sandy and I sincerely appreciated the professionalism portrayed by all the CLHLaw staff members which made the sale of our farm after 46 years, a much easier experience for us.
Family Farm
We are grateful for all that CLHbid did in getting the Cross Heritage Farm sold. The CLHbid team took on a dreaded monumental task for our family and allowed our thirteen quarters of farmland to be sold at fair market value without the feared interference of family, friends and fellow farmers. I hope in the future this is the method landowners use to sell their land efficiently and effectively to ensure fairness to all parties.
Courteous, Professional
As first time users of this sale method we were both hesitant and unsure, but as auctioneers ourselves we also realized that the most accurate and fair representation of market value is via public auction. The entire team at CLHbid.com are both courteous and professional and CLHbid did not leave any marketing opportunity unused in pursuit of buyers. The platform was simple, easy to understand and user-friendly for both ends of the transaction. Overall we are very pleased with the outcome of our sale!
Land Values Increased
At a time when Fendt is coming out with electric farm tractors, we considered how we had bought and sold farmland for the past fifty years. We chose CLHbid.com for our latest sale and are very happy with the results. Neighbors all had a fair chance to buy. Those that didn't buy said their land values were increased by our sale. In early February, we sold at -35 C with a buyer sitting outside in Arizona bidding from a laptop. We believe CLHbid.com is the way of the future for selling farmland.
Knowledgeable, Professional
Our dealings with the entire team at CLHbid.com were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We were so impressed with the smooth and painless process from beginning to end to sell our land. They put their expertise to work for us and it showed. The one-stop-shop experience took the stress out of decision making, gave us confidence we were in good hands, and ultimately resulted in a price for our sale that was well above the Starting Bid. "CLHbid has earned our highest recommendation."
Stress Free
We appreciate all you & your team have done for us. Extremely professional, friendly, helpful and stress free for us. Which means a lot at our age, and with also never having moved in 52 years, you have made it pleasant for us so far. Our kids have appreciated you as well, since they live a fair distance away and you guys made it so easy.
Right For Us
We sold some land during COVID so were never able to meet the CLH team in person. After many emails and phone calls we decided they were right for us. Once arriving at opening bid we knew, if reached we would be completely satisfied. The land sold for almost double the opening bid so that was excellent for us. Our children, living in three different provinces were able to follow the bidding so was great for them too. For anyone interested in selling farmland, CLHbid has a great selling platform and are knowledgeable and friendly to deal with. We would have no trouble recommending them.
Incredible Advertising
CLHbid.com in my opinion is the best thing out there! Their professionalism is outstanding, their advertising is absolutely incredible, this is the way to go folks, I received almost double what I thought I’d get for the quarter I sold!! Best thing everybody gets a chance to bid, no hard feelings from neighbours etc. I highly recommend CLHbid.com!!
Expertise, Class
I cannot say enough about CLHbid.com! What an amazing team of individuals. The amount of knowledge, passion and expertise they have is outstanding. CLH handled our auction with such class and at all times made me feel like I was their only client. The entire transaction from start to finish exceeded my expectations!
Fair Price
Our Colony has used CLHbid more than once to buy land. We like the process 100%. We think CLHbid is the best system for selling land. It is fair to sellers and buyers. We don't like closed tenders to a law firm where you only get one chance and never really know what goes on. Using CLHbid, we can keep increasing our bid. It gives us time to think and calculate from the privacy of our Colony. In the end, the buyer knows they paid a fair price.
Multiple Buyers
After the loss of our parents, my sister and I as joint Executrices of their will, had the task of selling our third generation farm. Our first attempt was to try to sell through newspaper tender but we received no offers. When we heard of CLHLaw we weren't sure if this would work for us either but we were wrong. They sold the farm in the midst of COVID-19 and the downturn in the economy to multiple buyers. All five of us were impressed with their efforts on our behalf and the professionalism they displayed and we would definitely recommend CLHLaw with an estate to sell.
Focus Is Farm Land
As both a seller and buyer of agricultural land, I have made use of various platforms over the years. Most platforms, including those of the large auction companies, are very busy, as they try and sell everything from used lawnmowers to irrigated quarters. Whether selling or buying land, I much prefer the CLHbid platform. The CLHbid.com website is easy to navigate and user friendly to bid on. At the end of the day, I am confident that by just focusing on farmland, CLHbid.com brings a much higher value to sellers. I have used CLHbid.com to sell land in the past and would for sure use them again.
Honest
Few things can be more valued in business than ingenuity and honest dealings. Notwithstanding reports that the CEO is or once was a lawyer, I have found Roy Carter and the entire CLHbid.com team in full and ready possession of ingenuity, honesty and common sense to boot. Dealing with them has been pleasurable and profitable and I’d encourage any seller to consider their services without reservation.
Best Option As An Executor
The CLHbid system removes risks and complications that arise when selling the farm. As an executor, I explored selling options for our sale. CLHbid is years ahead of anything else available today. Their experience and expertise made the process simple, with an incredible outcome for us.
Assemblage
When the time came to sell our ranch, consisting of 32 quarter sections in one block, we wanted to ensure we received fair value for this rare assemblage and so decided to go with CLHbid.com. We especially liked the fact that CLHbid.com was specifically designed for the sale of agricultural land, and offered a unique selling feature in their en bloc system. We feel the en bloc feature increased the value of our land considerably. I would certainly recommend CLHbid.com to anyone looking to sell their farm or ranch.
’En Bloc’
We elected to go with CLHbid.com to sell our 100 year old Saskatchewan/Alberta ranch, made up of 45.5 quarter sections. As the land was held in a corporation, CLHbid worked closely with our accountant to utilize tax strategies to maximize the net after tax returns to all shareholders. Their ability to package parcels, engage the maximum amount of bidders by offering the ‘en bloc’ option and market into the financial sector was a game-changer. In the end the entire Hjalte Ranch was sold in a matter of hours to 7 different buyers.
Transparency
We tried to sell some of our farm land retaining a local law firm to place a tender in the local paper for us. We would never go this route again. With the tender process, there is little transparency for either the Seller or Buyer and the experience was fraught with problems including poor marketing. In the end the highest tender was well short of what we eventually sold the land for using CLHbid.com. We believe the CLHbid.com model solves all of the problems inherent with tendering, especially in a small community. When the time comes, we will be using CLHbid.com to sell our remaining land as well.
Way of the Future
I think CLHbid.com is the way of the future. Now people need to realize this is another option to sell their land other than listing it or an auction. If I was to sell land, I would go this way and I think most people would consider it if they know about it. It is a fair system and no backroom dealings. I think my land values have increased with the CLHbid.com concept.
Top Dollar
After over 50 years on our Ranch we decided to sell. After looking at various options we elected to go with CLHbid.com. CLHbid.com totally removed the stress that comes with business dealings between neighbours and friends. All bidders had an equal chance to bid in privacy online. We are convinced CLHbid.com got us the highest sale price we could ever have expected for our Ranch. We were not required to pay for an expensive guarantee either. Given their legal background the CLHbid.com team was most helpful in all aspects of the selling process. On sale day, the Ranch sold in just 3 hours to 3 neighbours. We were never informed as to who was bidding or who was second highest bidder and liked it that way. In the end, the Ranch sold on our timeline, for top dollar and we remained friends with all our neighbours.
Professional, Understanding
Best decision we could have made. Our experience with CLHbid.com was phenomenal. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to sell farm land. Their team is efficient, accommodating, professional and understanding in a time of transition.
Equal Chance for Buyers
A neighbor’s ranch that had been in their family for generations was listed for sale by real estate as one listing of over 40 quarter sections. None of us neighbors wanted or could afford it all and the real estate listing finally expired with no offers. The owners then put the land up for sale with CLHbid.com. This suited us neighbors perfectly and in the end seven of us bought the land we each wanted. I was able to bid on and buy my land from my house. CLHbid gave us all notice of the sale and allowed all neighbors an equal chance.
Walk the Walk
We went with CLHbid.com to sell our land in Central Alberta. In the end CLHbid.com sold it for almost double the guarantee we were offered by another large auction company. The team at CLHbid.com didn’t just talk the talk but walked the walk for us.
Legal, Accounting, Farm Expertise
Tried listing with real estate for over 2 years and could not even get an offer. With CLHbid.com having legal, accounting, and farm expertise coupled with community respect, the decision was easy. The CLHbid.com team was motivated, reliable and marketed the land in a professional way. The incredible part is CLHbid.com ended up selling it for well over what realtors had it listed for.
Above What We Anticipated
It was a pleasure to work with the entire CLHbid.com team for selling our land. The best part was that you did all the work and looked after all the details, which left us with nothing to worry about. The whole marketing process was impressive right up to the sale date. We can never thank you enough for giving us the opportunity to sell our farm on a given date and with no hassle for well above what we had anticipated.
Top Value
We were looking to consolidate, so retained CLHbid.com to sell land away from our main ranch. We had a standing offer and were told by many we should accept it. Not knowing the real value however, we trusted the CLHbid.com platform to get us top value. In the end the land sold for well in excess of that standing offer and over 2x the Starting Bid. We are confident CLHbid.com brings true value for your land. We also didn’t have to pick between neighbours as to who got it in the end. We would certainly use CLHbid.com to sell land in the future.
Beyond My Wildest Dreams
You made the sale of my farm land so easy & hassle free, I cannot thank you enough. You did an exceptional job of advertising and just getting it out there. The final sale price was beyond my wildest dreams. I will recommend you to everyone I know that wants to sell their farm & if you need me to talk to anyone that is doubtful just let me know.
Land Showcased
We monitored the sale of our relative’s land in Western Canada from our home in Boston, Mass. The CLHbid.com platform for selling farm land was impressive, to say the least. To see land that we had enjoyed as kids while visiting from the USA showcased in such a tremendous way was touching. If I were to ever have a farm to market, CLHbid.com would be the people I'd in trust to sell it!
Not a Net Cost
We originally set out trying to sell our farmland ourselves using Facebook and Kijiji with no success. In the end using CLHbid.com was not a net cost to us, but rather by engaging a specialized team and system, CLHbid.com netted us more than we could have ever anticipated.
Land in Corporation
Our family farm was held in a corporation. Our long-time family accountant worked closely with all the professionals at CLHbid.com to maximize net sale returns to all us shareholders. In the end our land sale was an enormous success netting us additional funds multiples of any fees.
Unique ‘En Bloc’ Option
On sale day, our ranch sold ‘en bloc’ to out-of area buyers for a price well above our already high sale expectations. The entire CLHbid team is caring, conscientious and professional. We could not be happier.
Professional, Transparent
Thank you to Roy and your team. You made the process of selling land my sister and I inherited stress-free. The CLH team was professional and took on a difficult task of selling this land. The process offered the land to a wide range of potential purchasers in an equitable transparent manner. Thank you for all your hard work. I am beyond grateful, and amazed at the outcome.
Excellent Communication & Results
We chose CLHbid.com to sell our farmland and were extremely pleased with the results. Not anticipating the value we received, we may well have accepted offers for less had we not chosen to go with CLHbid.com. Communication on the part of the CLHbid.com team was excellent. It was important to us that all had a chance to bid, and in the end, locals bought our land.
No One Better Than CLHbid.com
CLHBid was fantastic to work with on the sale of my land. From the onset they were extremely professional and their communication every step of the way gave me confidence that they knew the market like no other. I firmly believe that in this day and age this type of sales mechanism is the best way to discover the true value of land, and there is no one better than CLHBid. They spent considerable effort to market the sale in the local area, and beyond, which no doubt contributed to maximizing the sale value. Once the sale was completed again, they were efficient and professional in finalizing documents. It all went so smoothly. I would highly recommend CLHBid to anyone selling farmland.
Stress Free & Exceeded Expectations
As the executor responsible for selling my mother’s land, I had questions and concerns about maximizing the value of the estate while being fair to the siblings/beneficiaries, some of whom were interested in buying the land. I talked to realtors and my lawyer regarding closed bid processes, and finally settled on CLHbid.com. The sales commission was a concern however the process was fair to all who were interested; family, neighbouring farmers and outside investors … and this was my priority. The CLH process was great! Transparent, stress free and seamless from the initial sign up to closing. I was pleasantly surprised to be included in the decisions they made, particularly in the marketing materials and locations of signage. CLH exceeded all my expectations. The land sold higher than expected and the net return was much more than anticipated; all the while in a stress free yet transparent manner. I will definitely work with CLH again and have recommended them to others who are looking to sell.
Only Way to Sell Farmland
When it comes to selling farmland, using a realtor and a list price should be a thing of the past. I decided to go with the CLHbid.com division of CLHLaw to sell my farmland. From the outset, I got the benefit of the Solicitor-Client privilege, knowing all information would be held in confidence, unlike realtors who often share information to a Seller's detriment. Land right across the road had recently sold for $3,000.00 an acre, the same value my land was appraised at and likely what a realtor would have listed it for. On sale day, my land sold for over 50% above the land across the road. The key difference in going with CLHbid.com was their unique online tendering that offers true price discovery and gives bidders 100% confidence that the value is there when outbid. Using a professional law firm specializing in farmland tendering, as opposed to using old school listing with a realtor, paid many times over for our family. Using CLHLaw is the only way to sell farmland in today's world.
Set Record Prices
Cannot recommend CLHbid.com highly enough. Our experience with them was fantastic. We just sold our estate farmland in April of 2025. The entire team did incredible work. Very professional, always available. We ended up doubling the values of the lands given to us by our appraiser. We set record prices for our area in Saskatchewan.
Exceptional Guidance & Support
From the start to the finish our experience with CLHbid has been exceptional. The personal connection formed from their first farm visit reverberated through the entire transaction. We are very thankful that we chose CLHbid to guide us through this transition on our much loved farm that was a 64 year legacy of our parents. The guidance we received from CLHbid to sell our parcels separately turned out to be excellent advice. Had we listed them as one package, it would have ruled out many buyers. Our parcels sold for a lot more than we expected to different parties and all within a matter of under two hours. The commission was covered many times over and well worth it. CLHbid sold the land and Ritchie Bros handled the sale of equipment. CLHbid is a brilliant business plan, handling the sale and the legal work that real estate firms cannot. Thanks CLHbid.com!
Outstanding Results
Our family spent considerable effort analyzing options available for the sale of our southern Manitoba farm. CLHbid.com’s online tender process and their expertise in the sale of farm land tipped the scales in their favor. The CLHbid.com team more than met our expectations with outstanding results. This is a fair process to all parties, overseen by a professional team with excellent marketing and communication tools. We highly recommend them.
Efficient, Smooth process
I recently had the pleasure of working with CLH to sell our farmland, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. From the moment we signed the agreement, CLH went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and stress-free process. They handled all the necessary paperwork, advertising, and the transfer of land titles with utmost professionalism. What truly stood out was their ability to manage all legal documents and address any questions that arose promptly and efficiently. Their expertise and dedication made the entire experience seamless and relieved any potential complications. I found CLH through an online search, and they exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend CLH to anyone looking to sell their farmland. They are reliable, efficient, and truly committed to their clients’ success.
Land In A Corporation
CLHLaw set a new high water mark for land values in our area in Manitoba at a time when interest rates were at twenty year highs and commodity prices were on the decline. With some of our farmland in a corporation, the CLHLaw team worked with our advisors to take advantage of our personal capital gains exemption. We loved working with CLHLaw and the land sold above expectation. CLHLaw was relatively new to our region; however, buyers engaged the platform 110%.
Confidentiality
I liked the confidentiality that came with using CLHLaw to sell my land. What we discussed stayed between us. The land sold for over 2.5x the start bid. Using CLH was the right decision for us financially with the land selling for hundreds of thousands over appraised value. CLH earned their fee many times over and then some.
Works In A Small Community
I would recommend them to anyone selling a ranch or farm! The whole group is so hands on from start to finish of the sale! They know what it means to sell a ranch or farm after so many years of having it in the family. I will never forget my uncle telling me to make sure I talked to CLH about selling. So I did. Best call I ever made! Special thanks to the entire team for being there for my mother, sister and myself. That won’t be forgotten.
Practical, Professional
I was helping my Mom sell her farmland. I had never worked with CLH before. I was very impressed with their professionalism, diligence, and expertise. I especially appreciated their plainspoken and practical approach. I would gladly recommend CLH….in-fact I already have.
Estate Land
We tried selling my father’s estate land on our own. In addition to Kijiji, we offered it to our tenant and had offers from neighbours. Luckily, we didn’t get it sold as we had been asking well below what it sold for in the end, with CLHbid.com. Bidders told us they found the bidding process super easy.
Get What Your Land Is Worth
CLHLaw online legal tendering means you get what your land is really worth. Thank goodness we didn’t decide to list it for sale as we would have listed it for less than half what it sold for. We are both still in shock with the final number. The entire team was unbelievable to work with.
They Actually Care
We would highly recommend CLHbid. They actually care about the people they are working for. The entire team treated us with genuine compassion at a very emotional and stressful time. Not only are they very good at their jobs but they were always just a phone call/email away for any and all of our questions. We can’t thank them enough.
Professional, Caring
CLHLaw made the “business” of selling my brother Martin’s land not only seamless but also hugely successful. The partnership we made really shaped this major life transition, for all of us, in a considered and important way. There is no one else even on the same road as the amazing team at CLHLaw.
Great Results
CLHbid is an excellent company to work with! Downsizing our farming operation was a difficult decision. The entire CLHbid team was professional, helpful, knowledgeable and prompt in all our interactions. They made selling our farmland a smooth, stress-free venture. We would highly recommend them!!
Big Weight Lifted
Thanks to everyone at CLHbid, we are incredibly happy and overjoyed with the result of the sale. A big weight has come off our shoulders and words cannot express how much we appreciate your professionalism, friendliness and ease of working with you all. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you do. We will make sure to spread the word.
Multi-Generational Farm Land
The decision to sell multigenerational farmland was a difficult and stressful decision. What wasn’t stressful was choosing CLHLaw to facilitate the sale. Any interested buyers were given ample notice, video documentation, land title information, and photos. The CLH team gave us peace of mind. The bidding process was transparent, fair and very professional. We were very satisfied and would recommend the CLHLaw team to anyone looking to sell farmland.
No Pressure
We tried selling our ranch using conventional real estate and dealt with conditional offers that fell through. Using CLHbid.com, there is no such thing as conditional offers. CLHbid.com’s high-quality marketing and deep pool of buyers meant the ranch sold for 20% over what it had been listed for. From that first meeting, we never felt pressured and liked how CLHbid.com took us through to closing.
One Chance To Get It Right
After decades of ranching by Mankota, SK, the time came to pull back. We knew we had only one shot to get it right. We take pride in our operation and our strong commitment to the cattle business. We have always adapted, changed, and tried new things to be better; after all, ranching is all we do. We chose CLHLaw because they have an innovative approach, they devote 100% of their focus on selling farm and ranch land, and they delivered.
Innovative Marketing
After witnessing our neighbors sell their farmland, we came to realize the CLHLaw is by far the superior platform over other traditional methods of selling. With certainty of sale date, and marketing across Western Canada CLHLaw was a better fit than a listing agent with limited marketing and only regional exposure. Our video showcasing the farm and the large 53ft van for marketing still makes us smile.
Stress-Free Process
CLHbid.com really knows what they are doing when it comes to selling farmland and we really appreciate what they did for us. The marketing reached far, far more people than we could have even imagined. The team was always approachable and a pleasure to deal with right to their call the morning of sale day.
Took The Pressure Off Of Us
Sold our land with CLH and was an awesome experience. We had no calls from potential buyers and when asked by others who bid on sale day, we could honestly reply that we had no idea. CLH keeps the seller completely out of the mix. The CLH team did all the work. We would recommend CLH to anyone selling farm land.
Still In Shock
We can’t thank the CLHLaw team enough for such an awesome outcome. Never in our wildest dreams did we think of such an amazing ending to our decision to sell at this time. I think we are still in shock and quite overwhelmed. Your team’s professionalism and dedication to making the sale successful was exceptional and exceeded all expectations. For that we are super grateful.
Handled With Class
From the first phone call to closing we were treated with respect. The promotions, advertising and legal entities were all handled with class. The staff are very personable and efficient. As a senior couple we really appreciated all the help and advice. We recommend CLHBid to anyone planning to sell land!
Above and Beyond Expectations
After the loss of my husband, I was beside myself not knowing how I was going to proceed with the sale of his share of his family farm. The property was first listed with a real estate company for several months to no avail. It was then that I remembered hearing about CLHbid.com and after one call everything fell into place. The CLHbid.com team went above and beyond my expectations and in the end sold the land for double the prior real estate listing. I highly encourage anyone who needs to sell farm land to give CLHbid.com a call.
We Couldn't Have Done It Ourselves
Thank you so much. I know if we had just sold it, we would not have got the return you did. We plan on selling more land you will be our go to.
Seamless, Professional
To everyone at CLH, a big thank you for all you’ve done to ensure easy, seamless, and professional transactions for us. You’ve made the entire process so positive with what seemed to be no fuss and muss. From our initial encounters to the grand finale, it’s been just so fine. From our perspective, the folks at CLH have found the right formula!
