About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old man named Mr. Jenkins walked into Boston Standard Realty and asked the agent, ‘Do you know why your office is always so cold in winter?’ The agent looked puzzled but replied, ‘No, sir, I haven’t noticed that.’ Mr. Jenkins smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Because every night, a delivery driver sneaks in through the basement window to keep your fireplace lit.' The agent's eyes widened as he glanced around nervously, but just then, a familiar voice from behind said, "Hey, I'm not sneaking—I'm just here for my usual spot of tea!" The story ended with everyone laughing over hot chocolate.

2. A delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something odd. The Boston Standard Realty sign seemed to wobble slightly in the breeze, as if it were trying to whisper a secret. Curious, he leaned closer and heard a faint voice calling out from within: 'Hey, pal! Can you please stop dropping those boxes so loudly?' Turns out, an old man had been living in the office above, watching over the place like a guardian angel.

3. A curious neighbor asked one day: ‘Why does that realtor always seem to know exactly what’s for sale next door?’ It turned out he had a secret side hustle—buying and selling old furniture from his neighbors’ trash cans! Whenever someone threw out an antique desk or vintage lamp, our intrepid realtor would swoop in like a modern-day Robin Hood, offering them top dollar. The moral of the story? Always check with your local estate agent before putting anything out on the curb.

4. A little boy followed his mom into Boston Standard Realty, where she went to look at properties. As they browsed the listings, the boy kept glancing at an old painting on the wall. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly: 'Mom, that house looks just like our new home!' The mother smiled and shook her head, thinking it was just a kid’s imagination. But when they finally moved in, she noticed something odd—an identical painting hanging in their new living room. Turns out, Boston Standard Realty had been selling the same house over and over again for decades!
