About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In an old neighborhood of Atlanta, J Burton & Co’s office stood like a sentinel on Peachtree Street. One day, after hours, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar—a small dog, wagging its tail excitedly, kept running into the empty building and then dashing out again. Curious, the delivery driver followed the little dog inside and found himself in a dimly lit hallway filled with musty old brochures. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice from behind: 'Excuse me, can you help me? I've been trying to find my way out!' Turned out, it was just an overly enthusiastic salesman who’d locked himself in one of the showrooms.
2. In a sleepy corner of New Orleans, J Burton & Co's realtor desk faced an old oak tree. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes, he noticed something peculiar: every package seemed to carry a tiny note with a handwritten address—none on the label. Curious, the delivery driver opened one box and found only a small piece of paper with an unfamiliar address scribbled on it. By lunchtime, everyone in the office had received similar packages, each bearing someone else’s new home details. A neighbor popped by later that day, asking if anyone knew why J Burton & Co was suddenly selling houses left and right without even listing them. The whole affair turned out to be nothing more than a practical joke—a regular prankster’s way of getting back at the boss for making him work late nights.
3. At dusk in Boston, a little girl pointed excitedly at J Burton & Co’s window, her eyes wide with wonder as she saw a shadowy figure moving behind the glass. Suddenly, an older gentleman emerged from the shadows and smiled warmly at them. ‘Just my reflection,’ he said gently, ruffling the girl’s hair. The girl giggled, and together they watched as he rearranged some papers on his desk inside. Turning back to the street, the man waved goodbye, leaving passersby to whisper about the mysterious yet friendly ghost of J Burton.’
4. In a bustling part of Chicago, a delivery driver grumbled as he parked outside J Burton & Co. ‘Why does every listing here look exactly the same?’ As he stepped inside, an elderly gentleman approached with a smile. 'Ah, another potential buyer,' he said cheerfully. The driver shook his head and muttered, 'More likely just someone delivering more identical listings.' The old man laughed heartily and replied, 'Welcome to J Burton & Co—where every house is unique!'
