Westwood Real Estate

About Us

Westwood Real Estate is a local full service real estate company specializing in properties in Mendocino County, but also serving both southern Humboldt and Lake counties. As of 2024 the business has shifted as broker/owner Kent Westwood has retired and passed the business to his partner Joseph Morf. The office is located in the community of Laytonville. At Westwood Real Estate we are experts in sales involving rural property, ranches, farms, and bare land but also excel in finding and selling homes. When you work with Westwood I promise to give you the personal attention you need to achieve your real estate goals no matter what they are and help you navigate whatever hurdles may be in the way. I understand that your time is valuable. That is why honesty, integrity and hard work are the pillars to our mutual success. I will strive to provide the highest level of service, and competence guided by the code of ethics of the National Association of Realtors.

We do not put pressure on clients. Our goal is to guide them through the sometimes confusing sales process with humor, grace and competence.

Stop by the office or give Joe a call if you have any questions about the local market! I’d love to help.

Joseph Morf

Real Estate Broker/Owner

As a Northern California native and full time real estate professional I have the experience, understanding and passion required to locate and find your dream property. My clients describe me as trustworthy, level headed, knowledgeable, creative, quick-witted and responsive. My mission is to demystify the home and land buying process for my clients by being completely transparent.

I believe that I have a unique perspective as I grew up in San Francisco and NapaCounties but have lived in Humboldt/Mendocino County for over 20 years. For anyone wishing to make a similar transition I would be a valuable resource. I have built a network of local and competent solar installers, well drillers, debris cleanup and tree removal experts that can help you to develop your new/old piece of land.

In my seven years of working under my broker and friend Kent Westwood I have learned much about off-grid living, water systems, springs, organic farming and solar power. Kent was part of the original back to the land movement in the 70’s and I feel so lucky to have learned from him. With his help I have attained the knowledge to help navigate a new chapter in our communities history.

I love Mendocino County. Outside of work I spend my time gardening, hiking, playing music, going to the coast, working on my house and attempting to tire out my Golden Retriever and Australian Shepard.
