Alan C. Townsend, owner/broker of Rancho Mesa Properties, purchased his first rental units in the early 1980s. He quickly realized the need for a personal, professional property management company that truly serves both property owners and tenants with integrity.
Since founding Rancho Mesa Properties in 1984, Alan has built a company rooted in Mid-Western work ethic, responsibility, understanding, honesty, and the drive for excellence. These values have created clients for generations.
Rancho Mesa Properties specializes in San Diego property management including homes, condos, apartment buildings, and more. Unlike most companies, we are genuinely interested in our clients' needs and specific long-term goals.
"Our mission will always be to make every client feel like they are the most important client we have."
-- Alan C. Townsend, Founder & Owner/Broker
Our professional relationships are built on a long-term basis. Numerous clients have been with us for many years. Besides natural client growth, Rancho Mesa Properties has grown through strategic alliances based on the common thread of absolute commitment to personal, professional property management services.
