I really enjoyed this one, not only because of the really cool painting that Larry painted and shared with us, but because it touches on a trend that will be dramatic and likely soon, the demise of the post office.

We Need a Smaller Mailbox!

Remember when you went to the mailbox and you could hardly get the mail out, so you invested in a larger one? Real Estate Contracts, were mailed overnight delivery. We scrambled to get it all together and rushed to the post office before it closed.  Sound familiar?

Then there was the FAX machines.  Boy was that a help!  You didn't even have to fight the cold, rain or snowy weather to get to the post office.  What happened to the FAX?  Now with the computer age, We are now using the emails. Contracts can now be send by computer, signed and returned in a matter of minutes.

The Real Estate Industry has evolved in a fast paced industry.  Well, at least the paperwork has. We now go to our mailboxes and many times they are empty, now that we have internet banking and bill paying over the internet.

Maybe the only thing we may find in the mailbox, are the small packages of items we may have ordered, like magazines and seed packets. You don't even get samples in the mailbox anymore.

Maybe we don't need a smaller mailbox after all.

Especially, for Real Estate!  

Even fliers and Newsletters are being sent by email.

I much prefer getting everything by email. At a previous home, our mailbox was close to the road and got hit three times.
