Starkey & Brown

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an excited delivery driver burst into Starkey & Brown’s office. ‘I saw something strange!’ he exclaimed. ‘What did you see?’ asked Mr. Starkey curiously. The man replied, ‘A ghostly figure in a fedora, walking through the wall next to your window.’ Mr. Starkey looked out the window, but only saw his neighbor watering his plants. 'Probably just another hallucination,' he chuckled. Later that day, while organizing some paperwork, they found an old photo of a fedora-wearing gentleman who used to live there decades ago—turning the story from spooky to simply amusing.

2. At dawn, when most real estate agents were sipping coffee, one of Starkey & Brown’s windows suddenly fogged up with condensation—only it wasn’t water. The reflection of a smiling face appeared on the glass, waving cheerfully. A delivery driver passing by thought it was his reflection and waved back awkwardly. Later that morning, an excited neighbor rushed over, thinking someone had moved in overnight. It turned out to be just another day at Starkey & Brown—where even the condensation has personality.

3. At closing time, an elderly gentleman approached the receptionist at Starkey & Brown. ‘Why does every new listing look exactly like our old house?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that’s because we show you houses similar to yours—so you can find your dream home.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully before saying, ‘Ah, I see. And how many times do you expect me to fall in love with a place just like mine?’ Everyone laughed as he walked out, whistling a familiar tune.

4. At sunrise, while Starkey & Brown's offices were still quiet, a strange humming noise began echoing from the empty showroom. No one could explain where it came from or why. The hum grew louder until an old man passing by stopped and asked what was going on. Turns out, his hearing aid had fallen off earlier and was stuck in the ceiling speaker. Everyone laughed as they watched him awkwardly retrieve it, muttering something about needing new batteries.
