About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Savills real estate agency, a new sign appeared one morning: ‘Buy here and your house will appreciate faster than you can say “mortgage”!’ Soon after, every client who mentioned the sign received a free coffee—and no two coffees tasted quite the same. One day, an elderly lady came in asking for a retirement home. The agent showed her several properties, but she kept pointing at the sign and saying, 'I just want somewhere that appreciates as fast as my memory!' Eventually, they found a perfect place—until the next morning when everyone noticed the sign now read: "Sell here and get a free cake!"
2. At Savills, an estate agent in downtown Chicago, something peculiar started happening after sunset. The receptionist noticed that every night, around midnight, a mysterious figure would appear in the empty hallway, whispering into the open windows of unsold properties. One evening, a delivery driver mentioned hearing strange noises from Savills’ basement. Turned out it was just the office cat, Meowzilla, practicing his new career as a real estate ghost-hunter. Ever since then, Savills became known not for its sales but for its resident superhero feline.
3. At Savills, an estate agent in New York City, a strange phenomenon began when a delivery driver kept arriving late at night with boxes marked only as ‘For Mr. Smith.’ It turned out that Mr. Smith was actually the building superintendent’s cat. Every evening, the delivery driver would bring home-made treats for him—boxes filled with fish and milk. The whole neighborhood thought it was quite charming until one day someone noticed the delivery guy had gained a few pounds.
4. At Savills, an estate agent in San Francisco, every Tuesday afternoon around 3 p.m., the coffee machine would start playing old jazz tunes. One day, a new intern joined and asked why the music started at exactly 3 p.m. The veteran agent smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘That’s when Mr. Savills used to come for his daily espresso.’ Everyone laughed, knowing full well that Mr. Savills retired decades ago.
