About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an intern at Ascend Real Estate noticed something odd while organizing papers in the office. A small dog kept sniffing and staring at one particular file cabinet, its tail wagging excitedly. Curious, she opened the drawer and found old photos of the building’s construction site from decades ago. The little dog recognized a familiar face—a regular delivery driver who had worked there as a young man. They both shared a hearty laugh over the discovery.
2. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ascend Real Estate’s loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw rows upon rows of listings glowing softly—all with the same mysterious address: ‘13 Steps Above.’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘What harm can it do?’ He opened one box carefully—and found nothing but more listings. Confused, he went back outside, only to realize that his truck was now parked on the second floor of an empty parking garage. Looking around, he saw neighbors waving cheerfully from their balconies above. Turning to leave, he noticed a sign reading: ‘Welcome to Ascend Real Estate—your home away from home!’
3. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon with a peculiar request for help from Ascend Real Estate's receptionist. Turns out, he needed advice on how to store his bicycle safely after deliveries. The receptionist suggested using their storage units, which led to an unexpected offer—free bike maintenance in exchange for testimonials. A regular now, our neighbor’s two-wheeled friendliness has become quite legendary around Ascend Real Estate.
4. At dawn, as employees arrived at Ascend Real Estate, they heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our office is now officially haunted.’ The receptionist, a grumpy old lady named Betty, looked up from her crossword puzzle with a skeptical frown. 'Haunted my foot,' she muttered under her breath. Over the next few weeks, everyone adjusted—except for one delivery driver who insisted on leaving his package outside after hearing ghostly footsteps in the hallway. Eventually, someone posted it on social media, and before long, Ascend Real Estate became a tourist attraction. Employees learned to enjoy their newfound fame, even if Betty still refused to believe in ghosts.
