Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly at something on the wall of Better Homes and Gardens office. ‘Mama,’ she said, ‘what’s that funny shadow?’ The agents looked up and saw nothing but an ordinary realtor sign—until they noticed it seemed to move ever so slightly. Suddenly, one agent leaned in closer and whispered, ‘It looks like it’s waving!’ Before anyone could react, a delivery driver walked in with a box labeled ‘Office Supplies.’ Everyone laughed when he bumped into the sign, causing it to sway back and forth. The little girl giggled, ‘See, Mama? It was just a windy day inside!’

2. A young boy walking home from school stopped abruptly outside Better Homes and Gardens office one afternoon. His eyes widened as he pointed at the window, whispering, ‘Mom, look! The agents are dancing!’ The realtor inside heard the commotion and peeked out curiously. She smiled sheepishly, explaining, 'Oh no, they're just practicing our monthly dance party. Come on in, we'll show you!' And so began a tradition—every month, the agents of Better Homes and Gardens would gather for a little impromptu dance session.

3. At dawn, when most real estate agents were still sipping coffee, an old delivery driver pulled up in front of Better Homes and Gardens. Unloading boxes, he noticed something peculiar: one box seemed heavier than usual, almost as if it contained… dirt? Curious, he opened it—just a bag full of ordinary-looking soil. Later that day, while showing a house, the agent accidentally spilled some on the carpet. To everyone’s surprise, it turned out to be miracle-gro soil, making the plants in the office flourish overnight. From then on, whenever someone asked why their listing sold so fast, they’d wink and say, ‘Better Homes and Gardens must be magic!’

4. At sunset, an elderly neighbor watering his roses paused mid-spray, staring intently through the window of Better Homes and Gardens. Suddenly, he saw a delivery driver waving frantically from across the street. Turns out, it was just a misplaced wave, not some eerie sign. The old man chuckled and went back to his roses.
