I have been dealing with Oregon Farm & Home Brokers for a few years now. My main contact is Steve Helms and what I appreciate about working with him and all of his staff is their knowledge when it comes to buying or selling Ag properties. Also, they are not afraid to go after a problem and get it fixed whether it's a property line issues, water rights, or something else, they provide assistance and great knowledge to get the problem fixed and the deal done. I would highly recommend this company when considering who to work with for Farm and Ranches!

Top notch organization, from day 1 to closing always had great communication, we live 4 hours away from the property we sold but we never had a worry because of the communication, we felt they had a great marketing plan from the start and they delivered an offer in less than a week. Thank you for making this a painless process!

Stephanie Hodges Scio
Client
I had a great experience with Oregon Farm & Home Brokers. The team did a great job. I couldn't believe the amount of people coming to look at my property it was kinda crazy. They get your listing out there for people to see. This was the third home I’ve sold in the last 15 years and by far the best experience I’ve had.

This team was nothing short of amazing in helping to sell our house! They worked hard to make sure it was shared on multiple channels and even hosted a virtual open-house, ensuring a pandemic wouldn't slow the sale. We would highly recommend them! They are also very responsive and will make sure your needs are met.
