Long family history in real estate

My Great Grandfather and his brother were real estate agents in Oakland California back in the year 1900. Their "Greenslade Brothers Real Estate" office was located at 901 Broadway in Oakland.  The building is still standing and is part of the historic "Old Oakland" district.  It was the building where the Smart & Final Store is located.  I have to look for and post the photo I have of Theodore Henry Greenslade (My Great Grandfather) and Herbert Edgar Greenslade.

My family goes back even further into real estate where in the Southern part of England, in Devonshire to be exact. The Greenslades of that area are really big into real estate with a company called Greenslade, Taylor & Hunt.  My branch of the Greenslade family came from the town of Tiverton Devonshire.
