We begin the process for each divestment in exactly the same manner, with a comprehensive analysis of your divestiture portfolio. We will analyze your project's financial, engineering and geoscience data in order to make the most suitable recommendations.

Our proprietary marketing process will help you leverage the full value of your assets. Clearinghouse offers a variety of different services geared towards the successful sale of different types of assets, and will develop custom marketing solutions for each of your properties.

Presenting the Data

  • Knowledge of the sale and precise timeline
  • Access to comprehensive, accurate and timely data
  • Opportunity to evaluate and participate in the process

The Sales Process

Whether your properties are sold through a Continuous Online Auction, at a Live Hybrid Auction or by Negotiated Transaction, they need to be marketed.

• Our current marketing list contains nearly 12,000 qualified buyers
• We market your properties through our website, email, partner websites, publications, brochures and catalogues so they get offers
• Our business development team is constantly making suggestions and recommendations to buyers

Less uncertainty on the part of the buyer means higher prices for our sellers. We know what a buyer wants for evaluation purposes and we organize and present seller data so as to obtain the highest price. We gather your data in both electronic and hard copy formats. Once we evaluate your data, we will make recommendations as for the suitable process: Continuous Online Auction, Live Hybrid Auction or Negotiated Transaction.
