A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Read & Read, Inc., with a truckload of new listings. As he unloaded boxes from the back, something odd caught his eye—a small, dusty book protruding from beneath the pile. Curious, he picked it up and found himself holding an ancient-looking volume titled ‘Property Peculiarities.’ As he leafed through its pages, he stumbled upon a peculiar entry for a house down the street. The description read: 'Suitable for those who love reading in bed—bedroom has built-in bookshelves!' Turns out, the neighbor had been complaining about their late-night reading habits. The delivery driver chuckled and decided to keep the book as a reminder.'

2. In the dim light of dawn, an elderly neighbor muttered to himself as he walked past Read & Read, Inc.: ‘I thought I saw someone moving in those offices last night.’ A delivery driver later confessed that it was just him, trying to avoid morning traffic and grab a quick coffee before work. He joked, 'Next time I'll order online!' A neighbor chuckled, shaking his head with a smile, thinking, 'These youngsters...'

3. One stormy night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Read & Read, Inc., umbrella in hand and packages under arm. As he reached for the door handle, a voice boomed from inside: ‘Young man, are you sure you want to come in? The office closes at five!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but then smiled and said, 'It's almost six, sir!' With that, he pushed open the door and walked confidently into the dimly lit office. A minute later, a familiar voice called out from behind him: “Hey, neighbor! I thought you closed early today!”

4. One foggy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside Read & Read, Inc. and noticed something peculiar on the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in old newspaper. Curious but cautious, he left it be and continued his route. The next day, another employee found the same package, untouched and unopened, now accompanied by a small note scribbled in pencil: ‘Read it twice, then decide.’ Finally, after three days of speculation, an intern decided to open the package. Inside was just an old book titled 'The Art of Persuasion.' When flipped through, every page had a different real-estate listing with handwritten notes like 'Buy here—great view!' or 'Perfect for retirement!' Needless to say, Read & Read, Inc. became known as the most successful estate agency in town thanks to that mysterious package—and everyone agreed it must’ve been delivered by a friendly neighborhood ghost.
