Homestead Co.

We just closed on a beautiful property in Joseph and we credit Deidra for making this happen! We have worked with a number of excellent realtors in several states and Deidra is without doubt, the ABSOLUTE BEST we've ever encountered. She is responsive, professional, even-keeled, and has stellar follow-through. She really went above and beyond for us (like hiking uphill in the snow to scope out property lines!!) Thank you, Deidra, for everything...you made a stressful process much more manageable! We'll look forward to seeing you around town!

It was pure luck that I happened to contact Deidra when we started looking to purchase our first home in Wallowa County. And we are SO glad that we found her! She is a fantastic real estate agent and seamlessly helped us navigate the entire process from start to finish. She is incredibly knowledgable on real estate and the area in general, she is an excellent communicator and always on her A game, and is honestly just a joy to be around and do business with. Deidra became such a valuable resource to us and answered so many of our questions along the way. And in the end, she sealed the deal on a perfect starter home that we would never have found without her. Clearly, I would highly recommend her and Homestead Co. to anyone looking to buy or sell. She is a gem!

I am writing this review because of the outstanding experience my fiance and I had with Deidra Ripsom. We think Deidra is an outstanding real estate agent and would recommend her to anyone. Deidra is incredibly personable, knowledgeable about her market, and relationship oriented with a view toward the long-term. During our many months searching, she readily and thoroughly answered our questions, efficiently coordinated, and was seemingly virtually always available to troubleshoot. When it came to finalizing the transaction, she proved to be an able negotiator and fairminded for all parties involved. Moreover, and perhaps most importantly, she was professional, easy to work with, and we now consider her a friend. To sum, now that we live “in the county” we hope you don’t move here, but if
