Four ways to sell your land
The right approach depends on your goals, your land and the market. We'll walk you through the options and help you choose the one that makes the most sense.
Most exposure
Public MLS® Listing
Puts your land in front of the widest audience: farmers, families and investors across Saskatchewan and beyond, plus every REALTOR® and their buyers.
Full promotion, more control
In-House Exclusive
Drone photography, polished brochures and our own marketing, shown across our networks. Strong exposure and competition, without giving up control.
Private
Targeted Buying Approach
No public advertising. We take your land directly to our network of serious, qualified buyers, with clear offers and no unnecessary noise.
Set deadline
Tender Sale
Buyers submit sealed offers by a set date, and you decide which, if any, to accept. A clear, competitive process that often suits estates and land with several owners.
Want to sell quietly? Learn how private, confidential farmland sales work. You can also start one way and change course later, for example moving from a private sale to full promotion.

Client testimonials
From landowners who sold with us
Dale was recommended to us by a neighbor when we were thinking of selling land. He contacted potential buyers in the area whom he knew may be interested in buying our land. Dale had a no-nonsense approach & the sale was completed fairly quickly. I would highly recommend Dale.
I have had a couple land sales with Dale and Murray. They have communicated very well with myself and the buyer. They work hard to get you top dollar. I 10/10 recommend their services.
Worked very hard on our behalf. Friendly and patient when we ran into a few issues on our end. Have referred them on to several friends.

Selling farmland FAQ
Straight answers to common questions
After decades of working with Saskatchewan farmers, we've learned the same questions come up every time land changes hands.
How do I know what my farmland is worth?
We use recent sales, soil class, productivity and local knowledge to give you a fair value. Every farm is different, so a valuation is the best place to start. Start with a free land evaluation. If you need a value in writing for your lender, an estate or a family transfer, we also prepare farmland Letters of Opinion.
When is the best time to sell farmland?
Timing depends on markets, interest rates and demand in your area. We'll help you read the market and decide when it makes the most sense to sell.
Can I sell my land privately?
Yes. Many landowners prefer a quiet sale, for privacy, for family reasons, or so word doesn't get around before they're ready. With our Targeted Buying Approach, we take your land directly to a short list of qualified buyers instead of advertising it. You still get an honest opinion of value, a written agreement and full representation. Learn more about private farmland sales.
Can you sell my land by tender?
Yes. Buyers submit sealed offers by a set deadline, and you decide which, if any, to accept. We prepare the tender package, promote it, handle the bids and help you weigh the offers.
What about capital gains tax?
Farm sales often trigger capital gains, but there are exemptions available for qualified farmland. We'll flag the key points and make sure you're talking with the right accountant.
Are there different ways to structure a sale?
Yes. The most common are an asset sale (selling the land itself) or a share sale (selling the shares of a farm corporation that owns the land). Each has different tax and legal considerations. We don't give tax advice, but we'll walk you through the pros and cons and connect you with the right professionals.
What if the land is rented out when I want to sell?
That's common. Buyers often take over rental agreements, or we can structure the sale around them. We'll make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Should I sell my quarters separately or together?
Sometimes a group of quarters brings a premium when it's marketed as a block. Other times it makes sense to split them up. We'll show you both options so you can decide what's best.
