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.
Selling farmland in Western Canada can feel straightforward until the first real question hits: Who’s on title, what’s the lease status, what happens with taxes, and how do we keep this from turning into a stressful neighbor-driven mess? Host Devon Davidson sits down with Roy Carter, CEO of CLHBid.com, and Alle Carter, President & Legal Counsel, to explain why a farm sale is not a one-dimensional “sale day” event, it’s a high-stakes life transition that deserves a custom plan.
We talk through the practical framework they use to tailor each sale, including parceling strategy, assembling the right buyer pool, and coordinating with the seller’s existing accountant and lawyer instead of trying to replace them. Roy shares clear analogies, like why you would never hire a custom combiner who refuses to adjust settings, and why solicitor-client privilege can matter when confidentiality is the difference between a fair market process and pressure at your front door.
We cover tools and approaches that can protect outcomes, from structuring closings and understanding leases to using options like Vendor Takeback (VTB) financing that can bring more qualified bidders to the table. We also dig into common farmland “landmines” like tied titles that require subdivision approval, permit and liability issues, and the importance of honest disclosure and legal due diligence.
If you care about maximizing after-tax value, reducing risk, and making the process easier on your family, this episode is for you.
