About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to GilbertNOW and noticed something peculiar. The usually sleepy neighborhood dog had perked its ears and was staring intently at the front door. As the driver got out of the truck, he saw that the realtor’s window was slightly ajar—something it never did on its own. Curious, the driver peered inside and found the realtor fast asleep on his desk, drooling gently onto an open property brochure. A regular from down the street happened to pass by and, upon seeing the scene, knocked on the door. ‘Morning!’ he called cheerfully. ‘Did you know your office is wide awake?’

2. A little girl walked into GilbertNOW with her family one Sunday afternoon. As she approached the display of recently listed properties, she pointed excitedly at an old sign on the wall. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that house say “For Sale” even though it’s already sold?’ The realtor smiled and replied gently, ‘That’s because, honey, sometimes people buy a house just to show they can afford anything.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to her mom and asked, ‘So why did Uncle Bob buy that giant yacht if he doesn’t even like boats?’

3. A curious pug named Biscuit followed its owner into GilbertNOW one Saturday morning. As soon as they stepped inside, the little dog started sniffing frantically around the reception desk. The realtor, a friendly middle-aged woman, bent down and smiled at the tiny intruder. 'Oh, hello there!' she said, patting her hand on the counter. Biscuit immediately calmed down, wagged his tail and settled in for a cuddle. Word got around that GilbertNOW had an unseen resident—a pug who greeted every customer with a warm welcome.

4. A nosy neighbor stopped by GilbertNOW one rainy afternoon, hoping to catch up on local gossip. Instead, they found themselves embroiled in an unusual conversation. ‘Did you know,’” a neighbor whispered conspiratorially, “that Mr. Smith from next door sold his house through GilbertNOW and now lives in a treehouse in Thailand?’ The nosy neighbor’s jaw dropped as she realized she’d been had—again. ‘Just another day at GilbertNOW!’
