About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit office of Orpi Estate Agents, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he shuffled through piles of paperwork, an eerie humming sound filled the air, growing louder with each passing minute. Suddenly, a small golden key appeared in mid-air and started floating towards him. The man picked it up curiously—it opened the nearest drawer, revealing only more keys. Just then, a gruff voice said from behind, 'New keys for our newest listing—just arrived!' A delivery driver smiled sheepishly.

2. At Orpi Estate Agents, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom. ‘Ladies and gentlemen, if you see a potted plant walking down the street, please do not follow it,’ said the voice one day, causing everyone to laugh—and then look out the window. Soon enough, people started bringing their plants in on purpose, hoping to catch a glimpse of this mysterious walking greenery. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a large pot marked ‘Top Secret’. Everyone gathered around curiously—until a neighbor shouted, ‘It’s just Mr. Johnson’s new palm tree!’ The office erupted into laughter once more.

3. At Orpi Estate Agents, every afternoon around three o’clock, a faint humming sound would drift from the empty offices upstairs. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a package marked ‘Top Secret’. He asked if anyone had ordered something unusual, but everyone shook their heads. Just then, the humming grew louder and the door to the office opened slightly—revealing only an old, dusty fan. The neighbors across the street later joked that it was probably just the ghost of Mr. Leclerc, the former owner, trying to cool off after retirement.

4. At Orpi Estate Agents, every Wednesday at precisely two o’clock, a mysterious scent of fresh-baked cookies wafts through the hallway. No one knows where it comes from or who is responsible. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Confidential’. Curious eyes followed him up the stairs, but when he opened the door, all that emerged was steam and a whiff of coffee. Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped his lunch order for an espresso machine. Since then, Wednesdays are also known as Coffee Day at Orpi.
