Peter and Nancy Townsend are a husband and wife team that appraises properties in the East Bay. Townsend Appraisals serves West Contra Costa County and northern Alameda County, which includes Albany, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Pinole, Oakland and Richmond.
This mom-and-pop business specializes in the property management of rentals -- not sales. Ernest Clemens, the friendly, no-nonsense property manager, has been running Access Property Management for the past 10 years, handling properties from Albany and El Cerrito north to Crockett. Other properties are located in Richmond, Rodeo, Hercules and San Pablo.
