About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up outside Connells one morning and exclaimed, ‘This place is cursed!’ The agents looked puzzled as boxes started floating off the truck and dancing around the office. One of the agents calmly walked over, opened a window, and shouted, ‘Hey, boxes! Stop that!’ To everyone’s surprise, the boxes obeyed and lined themselves neatly on the desk. From then on, Connells became known not for its real estate but for occasional box performances during quiet afternoons.
2. One afternoon, an estate agent's window suddenly started displaying a cryptic message: 'Today's listing: perfect home for someone who loves cats.' No one knew whose idea it was until the realtor received a flurry of calls from local cat lovers. Soon enough, Connells became known as the agency that understood felines better than their own clients. A regular, a delivery driver, even a neighbor stopped by with tips on how to attract more feline-friendly buyers. In the end, the mysterious listing turned out to be just a prank by a young intern who loved both real estate and cats—an unlikely match made in Connells' office.
3. A neighbor passing by Connells one day noticed something odd: ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘the estate agent’s sign keeps changing its mind!’ Curious, a delivery driver stopped by and asked the agent what was going on. With a straight face, the agent replied, 'Ah, it's our new feature—we're testing different marketing slogans!' The driver shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself, 'Next time I order takeout, I'll definitely ask for “Connells—Your Home Will Find You”'.
4. A delivery driver pulled up outside Connells one morning and asked himself, ‘What’s taking them so long today?’ He got out of his truck, stretched, and walked over to peer through the window. Inside, everyone was frozen in place—staring at an enormous painting of a house on the wall. It turned out that the new artwork had taken longer than usual because the artist was Connell's nephew, who’d been working on it for weeks as a surprise gift. The relieved delivery driver chuckled and said to no one in particular, 'At least they’re not just standing around doing nothing!'
