Lease & Rental FAQs
Fees, commissions, reserve prices, tenant selection, and everything about renting your farmland through ExtrAcre.
ExtrAcre charges a 4% commission on total rent over the full lease term.
Everything from start to finish: professional auction listing, advertising across multiple platforms (websites, social media, newspapers), managing the bidding process, closing the auction, drafting the lease, and executing the signed contract with the tenant.
You pay commission as you receive rent. For each rent payment from your tenant, you have one month to remit 4% to ExtrAcre. No upfront payment is required.
No fee whatsoever. Commission is only owed when a lease is signed. If the auction fails or no lease is executed, you owe nothing.
ExtrAcre typically achieves 10–30% higher rental rates than private informal arrangements. If the auction result is less than a 10% improvement on your current rental rate, no commission is charged.
No. Every auction is set with a confidential reserve price. If the highest bid does not meet it, you are not obligated to rent and owe no fee.
No. You always retain final approval over who farms your land. Every auction includes this standard term: "Winning bidder will not necessarily be selected as the tenant — subject to landowner's review & approval of the winning Bidder's Renter Profile."
Yes. Even if the reserve is not reached, you can choose to negotiate with any bidder through ExtrAcre on terms you're comfortable with.
All registered bidders are identity-verified through credit card authentication. ExtrAcre also maintains a large Farmer Profile database across Saskatchewan. After each auction, we collect and review Renter Profiles for the top two bidders before presenting them to you.

ExtrAcre rental auctions typically run for 5 to 7 days, with a soft-close extension of 5 minutes per bid near closing until all bidding naturally ceases.
After closing, ExtrAcre collects Renter Profiles of the top two bidders and presents them to you for review. You make the final selection — typically within a few business days.
You can negotiate with any bidder, relist the land, or take it off the market. No fee is owed if no lease is signed.
No. Rent is paid directly from your tenant to you per the lease terms. ExtrAcre does not handle rent collection.

General Questions
Background on ExtrAcre, why the auction beats private rental, and how to get started.
ExtrAcre was founded to solve a major problem: inefficiency and lack of transparency in Saskatchewan's farmland rental market, which caused landowners to lose millions per year in rental income while qualified local farmers had no equal access to land.
ExtrAcre created Canada's first Online Farmland Rental Auction Platform, quickly recognized as the provincial authority for establishing area rental rates. Today ExtrAcre provides comprehensive lease, rental, buy, and sell services with the mission to make owning and renting Canada's farmland simple, transparent, and sustainable — for generations to come.
Private informal arrangements typically drift well below real market value over time, with no objective benchmark. ExtrAcre's transparent auction consistently delivers 10–30% higher returns than private arrangements — while also providing a vetted, qualified tenant rather than simply a familiar one.
Absolutely. The entire ExtrAcre process — appraisal, listing, auction, lease signing, and optional ongoing management — can be handled fully remotely. You never need to visit the land. Contact Robin at (306) 690-6786 to get started from anywhere.
ExtrAcre's primary operations and farmer database are focused on Saskatchewan. The platform also accepts listings in Alberta and Manitoba.
