Chad Klein

When the price on your farm should still be climbing, Chad's the one holding the gavel. He's the licensed auctioneer half of the Real Legacy team — the guy who turns a listing into a bidding war.

The story

Somebody has to hold
the gavel.

Any agent can list a farm. Not many can stand in front of a room — or a live online auction — and push a fair price into a great one. That's Chad's job on every Auction 360 sale: keep serious buyers bidding against each other until the number stops climbing on its own.

It shows up in the numbers. 120 closings and $32.1M in volume since 2022. 39.4% of his 2024-and-later listings sold over asking. A 91.7% listing completion rate — when Chad takes a listing, it closes.

Real Producers magazine has taken notice. On auction day, Chad runs the live bidding on every Auction 360 sale alongside Mitch — one prices the ground, the other sells it for everything the market will pay.

On auction day

Chad runs the bidding. Mitch sets the price.

Every Auction 360 sale runs the same way: Mitch's appraiser-grade pricing sets the floor, then Chad runs the live bidding until the room — or the online auction — pushes past it.

Chad calls every Auction 360 sale — live in the room or live online — and keeps buyers bidding against each other, not against a list price.

Bidding-War Track Record

39.4% of his 2024-and-later listings sold over asking — the number that happens when the right buyers are put in the same room at the same time.
