Be sure to listen to Episode 01 – ‘Selling Farm Land: Why CLHbid.com, What Was Broken & Early Days’ as Roy & Alle Carter explain why CLHbid.com was started and how it is different from realtors and auctioneers.
In this episode of The Farmland Exchange, we examine a sales method that is increasingly being discussed in farmland transactions: Progressive Tender. Unlike traditional sealed tenders or structured online auction platforms, a progressive tender can unfold over days or even weeks as buyers are contacted repeatedly and asked to improve their bids.
Joining Devon Davidson are Roy Carter(CEO) and Ryan Lang (COO) of CLHbid.com to explore how this process works, who typically runs it, and why it has generated debate among farmland buyers and sellers.
Together, they discuss the mechanics of progressive tendering, how it differs from traditional tender processes historically administered through law firms, and why transparency and trust can become critical issues when negotiations unfold behind closed doors. The conversation also examines how buyers perceive the process, the potential for bid shopping, and the legal expectation that sellers must treat all bidders fairly when inviting tenders.
As farmland continues to attract strong demand across Western Canada, understanding the structure of different sales methods—and their implications for fairness, competition, and price discovery—has never been more important.
