About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Laforêt estate agency, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom. ‘Attention, please,’ says a voice no one has ever heard before. ‘The house on 14th Street is now officially haunted—we found out last night.’ One day, a delivery driver arrived with a puzzled look. ‘I’ve got bad news,’ he said. ‘It’s not just haunted—it’s also uninhabitable.’ The next morning, the intercom crackled again: ‘Attention! Due to structural issues, the house is now available for ghost tours only!’

2. At Laforêt estate agency, every afternoon around three o’clock, the ceiling fan in the reception area starts humming like a distant hive of bees. The sound grows louder and more insistent until it seems everyone can hear it—except the real estate agents themselves. One day, an anxious neighbor knocks on the door, asking if anyone heard that buzzing noise. Turns out, it's just a delivery driver adjusting his hat while standing under the fan outside. Everyone laughs, realizing they’d been hearing things all along.

3. At Laforêt estate agency, every day after lunch, the receptionist's parrot starts repeating the same mysterious phrase: 'The house next door is haunted!' No one has ever seen anyone entering or leaving it. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Can I see this haunted house?’ The parrot squawked excitedly, pointing its beak towards the door. That evening, everyone gathered around as the door opened slightly—revealing only a neighbor waving cheerfully and shouting, ‘Happy Halloween!’

4. At Laforêt estate agency, every Tuesday afternoon, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafts through the office just as the real estate listings arrive from headquarters. One Tuesday, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package—a live parrot. The bird kept squawking and flapping its wings, much to everyone’s amusement. By the end of the day, it had become something of a mascot for Laforêt, adding a touch of unexpected charm to their otherwise serious business.
