KATHERINE & SHANNA
The Westfield Team, founded by Shanna & Katherine, was built on a simple vision: to make real estate transactions seamless and rewarding.

With deep market knowledge and a client-first mindset, they built a team focused on education, transparency, and results. Their mission is clear—guide clients through real estate with confidence. Using cutting-edge marketing, data-driven insights, and strong negotiation skills, the Westfield Team has earned a reputation for excellence, helping clients find homes, maximize investments, and achieve their real estate goals with expert support.
