Dean Stirm

Welcome to the Dean Stirm State Farm Agency! With over 36 years of experience at State Farm and more than two decades as your local agent here in Rogue River, OR since 1999, we’re proud to serve Jackson County and all our neighbors in Southern Oregon, including Gold Hill, Grants Pass, Central Point, and beyond.

With summer in full swing—hot days, wildfire smoke in the air, and school right around the corner—now is the perfect time to review your insurance coverage. This season can bring new risks, new routines, and new challenges, and we want to help you feel prepared. Whether you’re shopping for a new or used car for back-to-school commutes, looking for the right Homeowners’ Insurance, or interested in bundling policies to save, we’ve got you covered. Our team is especially knowledgeable about wildfire risks, so if you’re concerned about protecting your home this season, let’s talk about your options.

For our Good Neighbors across Southern Oregon who may not be ready to buy a home just yet—no worries. We’re here to help you protect what you’ve worked for with Renters Insurance and Condo Insurance through State Farm.

As a local small business owner in Southern Oregon, I understand how important strong community connections are. For the past 26 years, I’ve dedicated my career to serving our community and supporting other business owners like me. If you’re looking at Business Insurance, Commercial Insurance, or Farm & Ranch Insurance, I’m happy to help you find the right coverage.

And if you’ve ever wondered whether you even have Life Insurance—or if you’re not sure you’re covered—you’re not alone. Many people are surprised to learn they don’t have a plan in place. Just like you wouldn’t drive without auto insurance, your family deserves protection for life’s unexpected moments. We offer Life Insurance options designed to fit different budgets and life stages.

A little about me: I grew up on a farm in Weiser, Idaho, graduated from Southern Oregon University in 1986, and have been happily married to Stephanie for over 35 years. We have three wonderful children and nine amazing grandchildren! I love hiking, cycling, camping, and spending time with family and friends.

Being part of this small-town community means the world to me. Beyond being your State Farm agent, I serve on the Rogue River Commission, support local businesses through the Chamber of Commerce, and contribute to nonprofits, schools, and fundraisers.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I’m grateful to call Southern Oregon home, and I truly enjoy connecting with local neighbors and small business owners—looking out for each other, one family and one policy at a time. If you ever have questions or want help reviewing your coverage, I’m here to support you whenever you need it.

Q: What are the insurance requirements on a leased car?

Q: Is homeowners insurance required?

A: Whether homeowners insurance is required depends on your situation and may vary by state. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require it. Even if it's not required, many people choose to have coverage to help protect their home and everything that comes with it. Serving Rogue River and the surrounding area, Dean can help answer your questions.

Q: How would you explain renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a simple way to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting. Since your landlord's policy typically covers the building itself, this type of coverage is designed to help protect you and the things you own. Have questions? Dean in Rogue River can walk you through your options.

Q: What should I know about life insurance?

A: Life insurance is a way to help take care of the people you love financially. It can provide support to your beneficiaries to help cover things like everyday expenses, debts, or future needs, depending on the coverage you choose. Dean works with Rogue River residents to find coverage that fits.
