• The Best Way to Sell Farm Land: CLHbid.com Vs. Realtors & Auctioneers Feat. Henry Vos

  In this episode of The Farmland Exchange, host Devon Davidson is joined by Roy Carter, CEO of CLHbid.com, and Henry Vos, Director of Sales for CLHbid.com, to explore the fundamental differences between CLHbid.com, traditional realtors, and auctioneers. Selling farmland isn't just about finding a buyer—it's about maximizing value, ensuring transparency, and keeping the seller in control. We break down why CLHbid.com offers a better, more strategic approach: Solicitor-Client Privilege. Unlike realtors who may work for both sides, CLHbid.com only acts for the seller, eliminating conflicts of interest. The Broken Listing Model. Many realtors overpromise to secure listings, then pressure sellers to take the first offer—is that really working in the seller’s best interest? Serious Buyers Only. CLHbid.com requires a 20% deposit and enforces strict buyer obligations, unlike traditional deals where small deposits and conditions can derail sales. Price Discovery & Market Reach. We use our transparent online tender platform and world-class marketing to ensure sellers reach as many potential buyers as possible and maximize the value of their land.  Legal Expertise & Due Diligence. From title issues to lease agreements, CLHbid.com resolves problems before the sale, giving sellers certainty and control. Realtors & Auctioneers Push Back. Some claim CLHbid.com is disrupting their industry, but we’re simply giving sellers a more effective alternative. If you’re thinking about selling farmland, this episode will give you insight into why CLHbid.com is changing the game—and why traditional methods may no longer be the best option. Tune in now to hear how CLHbid.com is transforming farmland sales across Western Canada!
