Chickens Seal The Deal ?

By Julia Robertson, October 25, 2018

Newlyweds Elizabeth and Matthew moved up to Portland from Southern California in search of a place to call home to start a family.

After combing through Milwaukie, we found an adorable ranch style home, with an incredible outdoor space. It was apparent the homeowners took pride in the upkeep of their home… as well as their beloved chickens.

Hearing that there were other -even higher- offers in hand, we knew we had to use any and every tool in order to ensure an accepted offer. Seeing and hearing how important the chickens were to them, but also knowing the sellers had to leave them behind, Elizabeth and Matthew wrote up a letter to them, and in the letter they mentioned how well they would take care of the chickens… and little did they know, that would do the trick!

The transaction -like any other- had it’s wins, and challenges. Elizabeth and Matthew handled both with understanding and grace. They knew that whatever was going to happen, was how it was meant to be -which is a rare but incredible attitude to have as first time home buyers.

At signing, as some jitters were kicking in once documents were almost complete… the couple was put at ease when their wedding song “Build This House” began playing through the main speaker system at random. It was one of those surreal moments that feels like it only happens in movies. All of us in the room got a bit misty eyed (because who wouldn’t??) and celebrated their massive and awesome success with spirits, and a photo to document such an amazing moment.

Elizabeth and Matthew are so excited to begin this new chapter in their lives in the perfect starter home… with 5 new chicken friends!
