Lou Bufano & Associates

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was checking his mailbox one morning when he noticed something odd: an envelope with no return address and just his name printed on it. Inside was a note scribbled in pencil: 'Your lucky number is 42.' He went into Lou’s office that afternoon, curious about his mysterious number. Lou looked up from his desk and grinned, ‘Ah, Mr. Regular! Your lucky number is actually our new rate hike.’ They both laughed heartily as the regular realized it was just another day at Lou Bufano & Associates.

2. One day after lunch, Lou Bufano announced over the intercom that from now on, everyone must address him as ‘Mr. Risk Management.’ The office erupted in laughter—until they realized he wasn’t joking. A few weeks later, a delivery driver asked nervously, 'Hey Mr. Risk Management, what if my package gets lost?' Without missing a beat, Lou replied, 'Well then, sir, I guess we'll just have to manage that risk!' Everyone laughed so hard their desks shook.

3. In the quiet afternoon, a young boy walking home from school passed by Lou Bufano & Associates. Suddenly, he stopped in surprise as the receptionist’s parrot started repeating phrases from old insurance contracts. Curious, the boy leaned closer and asked what it meant. The parrot replied, 'If you sign here, your risks are covered!' Startled, he ran home to show his mom, who promptly called Lou Bufano & Associates for an explanation.

4. One day after lunch, Lou Bufano announced over the intercom that from now on, all employees must address each other as ‘Agent’ followed by their first names—so Mr. Smith became Agent Steve. Soon enough, everyone was calling each other Agent First Name, even when ordering coffee or picking up dry cleaning. One afternoon, a delivery driver asked for Agent Bob’s signature, and when no one answered, he looked around confusedly until someone shouted, 'Oh, you mean Delivery Driver!' Turning bright red, Agent Bob stammered, 'No… I mean, yes, that's me.' Ever since then, whenever anyone sees him, they yell, 'Hey, Agent Bob!' with a big smile.
