Under the Oak Tree

 

“I feel at home under the oak tree,

Centuries old and standing tall.

And when I’m gone after a lifetime

The oak tree will remember my song. “

Haley Johnsen


When Haley & Erik set out to buy their first home, they never imagined they would get so lucky. They happened upon an open house in Milwaukie & decided to check it out. Immediately the colorful interior, spacious yard with the 200 year old oak tree and layout of the home felt right to them. With their ducks in a row, we were set to write an offer.

As first time buyers, Haley & Erik needed to make their offer stand out to the seller. I learned from the listing agent that that oak tree was extremely special to the seller & Haley & Erik felt connected to it as well. So what do you do when you are an amazing musician and you really want a house? You write a song about it!! Haley’s song can be heard here – and let’s just say the seller was in tears.

It was so special for me to lead Haley & Erik through this process. Not only are they amazing to work with – they are family. Congratulations Haley, Erik & Gifford!!! You did it!!!
