About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an eager realtor named Alice arrived early at Newton Fallowell’s office. As she unlocked the door, she heard a soft voice whispering her name from inside. Alice turned around sharply, but saw only an empty room. Smiling to herself, she thought it was just her imagination playing tricks. Suddenly, the phone on her desk buzzed. It was a regular asking about a new listing. ‘Strange,’ Alice muttered, ‘maybe I’m too tired.’ The day went on uneventfully until late afternoon when a delivery driver knocked on her door with coffee and pastries. ‘Someone sure knows how to make a good impression,’ she chuckled, taking a bite of cake. That night, as she closed up shop, she heard the same whisper again—this time clearer than ever: “Newton Fallowell appreciates your hard work.” She shrugged it off, laughing softly.

2. On a particularly foggy afternoon, a delivery driver found himself lost in Newton Fallowell's maze-like hallways. The deeper he ventured, the more the old portraits seemed to whisper secrets. Finally, he stumbled upon an old desk with a note: ‘For urgent matters, knock three times.’ Knocking, he heard a voice from behind: ‘Delivery here, sir!’ Turned out it was just a neighbor who’d been napping and dreaming of being a ghostly estate agent.

A new client entered Newton Fallowell’s office one day and asked with a straight face: ‘Mr. Fallowell, can you show me a house where I won’t wake up every morning?’ With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Fallowell replied, ‘Certainly, sir. Have you considered a home on the moon? No disturbances there.’ The client laughed heartily, realizing he’d been had, but left satisfied—after all, it was just another day at Newton Fallowell’s estate agency.

4. A curious neighbor once asked Newton Fallowell’s receptionist, ‘Why does Mr. Fallowell always greet clients with a strange smile and a whispered “Welcome home”?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘He says it because he knows that every house here is just right for its next owner—even if they haven’t found it yet.’ The neighbor shook his head and muttered, ‘Poor sods, thinking their dream home will appear any minute now…’
