About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was dropping off some documents one afternoon when he noticed an old man standing outside West Coast Escrow with a peculiar expression on his face. The man kept repeating something under his breath—‘Escrow, escrow, you’re doing it wrong!’ Curious, the delivery driver asked what he meant. The old man just smiled and said, ‘You’ve got “West Coast” in your name but you’re really an East Coast guy inside.’ With that, he winked and walked away, leaving everyone laughing. Since then, whenever someone new starts working there, they get a welcome gift—a small sign reading “East Coast Escrow.”

2. A little girl walked into West Coast Escrow one morning, completely absorbed in her tablet. Suddenly she stopped mid-click and pointed at something on the wall. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that house have two front doors?’ The realtor smiled gently. 'That's not a house,' she explained. 'It's an office building. See those windows?' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with wide eyes. 'So why do offices have houses inside them?' Her mother laughed softly, shaking her head as they left. "West Coast Escrow" had another curious customer that day.

3. A neighbor stopped by one day and asked, ‘Why does it always smell like popcorn here?’ The realtor smiled mysteriously. 'Ah,' he said, 'that's because our office uses a special air freshener shaped like a corn kernel.' The neighbor raised an eyebrow. 'Really?' she laughed. 'Then why does it only smell like buttered popcorn on Fridays?'

4. A customer exclaimed one day, ‘I swear I saw someone signing papers behind that closed door!’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘That’s just Mr. Johnson from next desk over—we share walls.’ Another time, a delivery driver insisted he heard screaming coming from inside. The receptionist laughed and said, 'Oh no, that's probably just our printer playing practical jokes again.'
