Celebrating Excellence Across Our Communities
At Westland Real Estate Group, our success is driven by the dedication and teamwork of the team members who serve our residents and communities every day. This summer, Westland celebrated the accomplishments of its teams and team members through the 2026 World Cup Occupancy Goal Tournament.
Held from May 1 through July 31, 2026, the company-wide competition challenged communities across Westland’s portfolio to achieve the highest occupancy growth while recognizing outstanding performance in leasing, retention, collections, and maintenance.
The Winning Communities
The competition brought teams together across Westland’s regions, creating an opportunity for communities to work toward shared goals while celebrating their accomplishments.
Tropicana Royale was named the 2026 World Cup Champion after achieving the highest occupancy growth during the tournament. The winning team received a championship trophy, commemorative gold medals, a $250 gift card for each team member, and a team outing.
Wood Ridge Villas earned second place, followed by Nellis Gardens in third place and Ridge at Southcross in fourth place. Each community was recognized for its performance and received awards honoring its place among the tournament’s top-performing communities.
Top Leasing Performers
In addition to recognizing community performance, Westland celebrated team members who made significant contributions through their individual leasing results.
The Golden Cleat award recognized the top three leasing team members across Westland’s Nevada and Texas regions based on the highest number of move-ins during the tournament. Karina Sandoval Sanchez earned first place and received $1,000, while Nayelli Menbreno earned second place with a $500 award. Nathalie Ortiz earned third place and received $300.
These achievements reflect the important role individual team members play in helping their communities reach their goals.
Regional and Team Achievements
The tournament also highlighted accomplishments beyond leasing. The Continental Cup recognized the region with the highest average occupancy growth across its communities. The North Las Vegas Region, led by Regional Manager Mayra Castano, earned the award.
Westland also recognized excellence in resident retention and collections. Wood Ridge Villas received the Best “Defense” award, recognizing Ashley Madrid and Jeeny Rodriguez Vallejo for their performance in these areas.
Maintenance and grounds teams also contributed to the competition. Cedar Village and La Ensenada Villas earned the Clean Sheet award for meeting the tournament’s standard for minimizing call-backs and work orders following new resident move-ins.
A Summer of Teamwork and Success
The 2026 World Cup Occupancy Goal Tournament was an opportunity to recognize the team members and teams whose daily efforts contribute to the success of Westland’s communities. From leasing and resident retention to collections, maintenance, and property operations, every role plays an important part in creating well-managed communities and positive resident experiences.
Westland Real Estate Group congratulates all of the team members and communities recognized during this year’s competition and thanks everyone who contributed to its success.
