Connells

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Connells real estate agency and asked the agent, ‘Do you know why your office is always so quiet? Because every house here sells itself!’ The agent smiled politely but replied, ‘Sir, that’s because no one ever comes in to look at the properties!’ The old man nodded wisely and left. Later that day, a delivery driver remarked to his colleague, “I bet ol’ Connell never even has any houses for sale.” To which their neighbor quipped, “That’s why it’s called Connells—because everyone else’s listings sell themselves!”

2. In the quiet corner of Connells' office, a delivery driver left behind something unexpected—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. No one noticed until the next day when a regular picked it up while waiting for his paperwork. Curiosity got the better of him, and he opened it to discover... Inside was an old keychain with a note scribbled on it: ‘For your lucky day!’ Turns out, it unlocked nothing but a few hearty laughs from everyone who heard the story. The regular became somewhat of a local legend himself—always arriving early just to check if there were any more mysterious deliveries.

3. One day, a neighbor walked into Connells and asked curiously, ‘Do you sell houses that come with their own ghost tour?’ The estate agent raised an eyebrow and replied, ‘Not exactly, but I do have one property where the previous owner insisted on leaving his collection of haunted Halloween decorations.’ A neighbor giggled, shaking her head, while another regular chimed in, ‘At least it’s not haunting Connells—maybe just the house next door!’

4. A curious package arrived one afternoon, addressed to no one in particular. As the delivery driver placed it on Connells’ reception desk, he overheard an agent whispering excitedly: 'I wonder what secrets lie inside?' The next morning, as agents buzzed around the office, a young intern peered curiously into the box. Inside was nothing but an old, crumpled postcard reading: ‘Connells – Your Home Away from Home.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been a prank by a neighboring estate agency. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Connells, they’d wink and say, “Home sweet home—or not!”}
