About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Douglas Elliman and muttered under his breath, ‘This place is cursed.’ Since then, every time someone signs a contract there, they say it’s either too hot or too cold inside—even when the weather outside is perfect. One morning, an old neighbor popped in and complained that the air conditioning was freezing him out. When asked if he felt okay, he replied, 'I’m fine now, but my coffee just got ice cubes!' Turns out, Douglas Elliman has its own thermostat ghost.

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Douglas Elliman and walked into the office with a strange smile on his face. On his desk lay an old, dusty violin case that didn’t belong there. The receptionist curiously approached him, asking what it was for. With a twinkle in his eye, the delivery driver replied, ‘It’s for the new client—a famous violinist moving in next door.’ Everyone laughed, including the driver himself, as they realized it was just another neighbour’s old instrument. The legend of mysterious deliveries lived on.

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Douglas Elliman and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘For Sale: Happiness, Price Negotiable.’ Curious, he knocked on the door. Inside sat an old man with twinkling eyes who said, 'Step in, my friend. Happiness isn't always what you expect.' The interior was cozy but empty—just a few mismatched chairs and an old piano. The man added, 'Take a seat, we'll talk prices.' The delivery driver left that day not quite sure if he’d bought happiness or just a quirky estate agency, but everyone around town started calling him lucky.

4. One day, a curious neighbor asked the receptionist, ‘Why does every delivery guy seem to be dropping off boxes filled with old keys?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘Oh, they’re not just any keys—each one unlocks a different apartment in our building from the past century.’ The neighbor laughed and shook his head, realizing that Douglas Elliman must’ve been dealing with some unusual clients over the years.
