About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver grumbled as he parked his truck outside Long & Foster: ‘Why does my coffee always taste better when I’m not here?’ As he walked in, a regular customer greeted him with a smile: 'Morning, Joe! Why don’t you ever stay for a cup?' Joe shrugged and muttered under his breath, ‘Because then it wouldn’t be mine anymore.’ The neighbor chuckled and shook his head, knowing that some things were just meant to remain mysterious.

2. A curious realtor noticed that every time she drove past Long & Foster, her car radio tuned itself to the same strange station—an oldies channel playing nothing but elevator music. One day, a delivery driver pulled up outside and heard the soothing tunes through his window. Thinking it was some kind of secret office party, he knocked on the door—and found himself invited for lunch! Turns out, Long & Foster had been serenading everyone in town with their mysterious playlist.

3. A new listing caught everyone’s eye—a quaint house with a mysterious sign in the garden. ‘Whoever lives here,’ asked a curious neighbor, ‘must be very particular about their privacy.’ Finally, someone from Long & Foster revealed that the sign was simply a placeholder for an upcoming sale. The whole neighborhood breathed a collective sigh of relief—except for one neighbor who had been using it as a reminder to trim his own hedge.

4. Every afternoon around three o’clock, a soft tinkling sound would drift from Long & Foster’s office window. At first, no one paid much attention. But soon, the neighbors began noticing it too—an eerie, almost musical chime, like tiny bells ringing just out of reach. One day, an excited delivery driver rushed into the office, waving a package. ‘I found it!’ he exclaimed. Turns out, it was just a broken windchime someone had left behind. The neighbors sighed with relief—and so did poor Mr. Foster, who’d been tuning his glasses every time he heard those bells.’
