The West Oak Team combines hyperlocal expertise with the kind of genuine, personal care that makes all the difference when it matters most.
Founded by Marie Young, the West Oak Team at Coldwell Banker Realty is a group of equal partners who bring deep local knowledge, professional experience and a warm, thoughtful approach to every client relationship.
When it is time for a listing appointment, the conversation often becomes personal. Around kitchen tables, homeowners share the stories of their homes — the memories created within them and the reasons guiding their next chapter. The West Oak Team listens closely, learning what makes each property unique and what matters most to the people who live there.
From that first conversation through closing, clients know exactly who will guide them: the agent they chose, supported by the strength of the entire team behind the scenes.
Whether clients are selling a home they have lived in for decades or searching for a place to begin again, the team meets them where they are. The agent who first meets with a client remains the primary point of contact throughout the process, while additional team members collaborate when their expertise best serves the client’s needs. The approach is flexible, client-first and never transactional.
The team also understands that not every move begins with excitement. For many homeowners and buyers, moving represents the closing of an important chapter. The West Oak Team approaches each relationship with empathy, guiding clients through every stage so that no question goes unanswered and no detail is overlooked.
Their roots in Basking Ridge and the Somerset Hills run deep. The team knows the schools, the streets and the subtle market nuances that only come from years of living and working in the community. Their members include certified global luxury specialists, multilingual associates and former township Communications Committee and Board of Education members who offer firsthand insight into local events, schools, charitable causes and the character of each neighborhood.
That local fluency, combined with expert staging, professional photography and videography, and strategic marketing, ensures clients approach every decision informed and confident. Their strong presence in the community also means they are readily available when needs arise, serving not only as real estate advisors but also as ambassadors for life in Basking Ridge.
The results speak for themselves. In 2025, the West Oak Team closed 83 transactions totaling more than $70 million in sales volume. Since its inception, the team has remained the No. 1 team in the Basking Ridge office and ranks among the top medium-sized teams at Coldwell Banker Realty. RealTrends, sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, has recognized the team among the top medium-sized teams in the nation across all brands.
The team has also been honored as a three-time winner of Somerset Hills City Lifestyle Magazine Magazine’s 'Readers Choice Winner' including this year.
But while the numbers are impressive, what clients remember most is something less measurable: the calm guidance, the clarity and the confidence that someone truly had their back throughout the entire process.
Your next move starts with the right team.
