20111026 Sorry I haven't blogged as much

Hello all again.

I've been twittering @mdgreenslade, follow me.  I am trying to get my web-presence up a notch.  I have also been dealing with some issues on my mansion back in Indiana.  I have also been dealing with mother's successful surgery for her colon cancer.

If you're on twitter, follow me, I think that I am doing to be able two tweet these postings.  I am covering a real estate course #RE101 and highlighting neighborhoods with #NeighborhoodSpotLight.

On the issue of my house, as you may remember I've had a contractor installing a standing seam metal roof on the mansion, garage and storage building.  The contractor left the job 1/3 of the way through. My house was tarped once and then never maintained.  Ceilings and walls in just about every room in the house have been damaged.

The metal roof has to be trashed and now I am having a second new roof installed which will be an asphalt shingle (Certainteed Landmark Series Slate).

Now to some good news, the doctors at Kaiser Permanente were able to get all of mom's colon cancer.  She is now cancer free for the first time since 2005, that's six years with cancer.  She will be having radiation therapy to make sure that if anything is still there, it will not grow again.  I am so happy for her..

Now, I need to ramp up my Real Estate career.  If you know anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the San Francisco East Bay area.  I would appreciate it if you would send them to me. 510 334-7800

Hello and thank you for reading my blog.  My name is Michael Greenslade and I am a Realtor.  I am located in the East Bay side of the San Francisco Bay Area.

I am with Better Homes & Gardens | Mason-McDuffie in Oakland California.  I like to work with first time home buyers.  I have a passion for 1920s and 1930s Storybook Style bungalows.

I am a caregiver for my mother who has colon cancer.  She has been going through chemotherapy since 2005.  Six years and going strong. 

I am a single chubby guy.

I bought a home in West Baden Indiana 47469.  It is a 200 year old plantation style mansion.  I am planning on having it operate as a Bed and Breakfast Inn.
