The Locals Company

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up outside The Locals Company one morning, frowning as he unloaded boxes. Suddenly, an old man appeared from nowhere, waving him over with a mysterious smile. ‘What’s in these?’ asked the perplexed driver. ‘Just take them inside,’ replied the man, handing him a key. Inside were only empty boxes. Later that day, everyone in town saw a new sign: “For Sale: Dream Home — Comes With Free Mystery”.’

2. A neighbor passing by The Locals Company one afternoon heard an unusual sound—a soft, rhythmic tapping coming from inside. Curious, they peered through the window and saw nothing but empty desks and quiet hallways. But the tapping continued, growing louder with each passing minute. Finally, a delivery driver arrived, dropped off some packages, and left. Moments later, the tapping stopped altogether. The neighbor looked around, puzzled—until they realized it had been their own reflection in the window, dancing along to the rhythm of the delivery guy’s footsteps.

3. Have you noticed how often strange things happen around here lately? Last week a regular came in asking if we had any properties near the park where he’d seen a unicorn grazing. Turned out it was just our new neighbor’s kid on his bike—we’ve never been so busy showing houses to fantasy lovers!

4. Last week, while The Locals Company was showing properties to a curious couple, an unexpected voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Would the owner of the red pen please return it? It keeps wandering into our open houses.’ It turned out that a local schoolkid had accidentally left his favourite red pen in one of the showings. After a quick search, they found it nestled among the listings on the desk. The couple laughed it off, remarking how maybe the pen was just trying to help them find their dream home. Since then, whenever someone mentions The Locals Company, people joke about the mischievous red pen that seems to know its way around.
