For over two decades, Scott Trembley has been a real estate trailblazer along the Carolina coast. With over $1.7 billion in career sales, he’s represented some of the region’s most prominent developers and built one of the top teams on the East Coast.
After the 2008 housing market crash, when uncertainty reigned, Trembley took the reins of an abandoned, foreclosed community and brought it back to life. Under his leadership, it became the #1 new construction selling community on the Eastern Seaboard between 2010 and 2013, a feat many thought impossible at the time.
That’s what defines Trembley’s career. His best personal sales year was 130 homes and $45 million in volume, and for the past nine years, he’s led one of the top Keller Williams teams in the South. He’s personally trained over 500 agents and CEOs nationally and has spoken at real estate sales, team building, and leadership conferences across the country.
Now, as Founder and CEO of Oak and Ocean Group, Trembley is doing it again. The launch of the Breakwater Team is a big deal—not just for Oak and Ocean but for the entire Myrtle Beach luxury market.
A Team for the Modern Era
The Breakwater Team is more than just a group of agents. It’s a strategic unit designed to meet the needs of today’s luxury buyers and sellers. With 17 buyer’s agents, a growing client database of over 80,000, and a full-service marketing division, the team has the sophistication and scale to deliver results in a changing market.
Supporting the agents are two full-time transaction coordinators, a listing coordinator, a Director of Client Experience, and two in-house inside sales agents who connect active buyers with homes daily. This infrastructure enables Breakwater to move quickly and precisely, giving clients a significant advantage in pricing, exposure, and negotiation.
“In this market, standing still is falling behind,” says Trembley. “We built Breakwater to stay ahead of the curve with the latest technology, marketing, and focus on delivering the best possible outcomes for our clients.”
A History of Turning Markets
Over his 25-year career, Scott Trembley has achieved feats few in the industry can match. With over $1.7 billion in sales, his success is not just a result of longevity but a deep understanding of how to navigate and shape real estate markets at every level.
Much of that volume has come from representing sellers and working directly with some of the largest developers on the East Coast. Scott has launched and sold out numerous new construction projects and has a reputation for knowing how to position communities for success.
His ability to deliver in tough times was most evident in the years following the 2008 financial crisis. While many agents and developers were pulling back, Scott saw opportunity where others saw only risk. He took over an abandoned, foreclosed community at a time when consumer confidence was at an all-time low. Through strategic marketing, builder partnerships, and a focus on creating value for buyers, Scott brought the community back to life, and it became the #1 new construction selling community on the Eastern Seaboard from 2010 to 2013.
That didn’t happen by accident. It was the result of Scott’s ability to read market trends, tell a story for properties, and lead teams through complex challenges.
In his personal production, Scott has set records few can match. His best year was 130 homes and $45 million in volume, proof of his discipline, work ethic, and ability to deliver for clients.
Beyond sales, Scott has made an impact on the industry. He has personally trained over 500 real estate agents and CEOs nationally and has spoken at 12 conferences across the country.
His focus has always been on empowering others to reach their potential while staying ahead in a rapidly changing industry.
This combination of high-level production, developer relationships, and national influence has given Scott the ability to build organizations that don’t just participate in the market but shape it.
The Breakwater Team Vision
The creation of the Breakwater Team is Scott’s belief that the Myrtle Beach luxury market is entering a new era—one that requires more precision, innovation, and client-focused strategy than ever before. “We’re in a time where technology and marketing are moving faster than most people realize,” Scott says. “Sellers deserve a team that not only understands those changes but uses them to create a measurable advantage.”
Breakwater was designed from the ground up to meet this challenge. With a foundation built on Oak and Ocean Group’s systems, the team brings together experienced agents, cutting-edge tools, and a marketing machine that rivals national brokerages.
At its core, Breakwater is structured like a high-performance business. The team includes:
• A proprietary client database of over 80,000 contacts and growing.
• A full-service marketing division that creates custom campaigns for every listing.
• Two full-time transaction coordinators to ensure seamless closings.
• A Director of Client Experience focused on delivering white-glove service.
• Two inside sales agents work daily to connect with active buyers.
This infrastructure allows Breakwater to move faster and smarter than traditional real estate teams. While many rely on volume, Breakwater focuses on strategy, execution, and positioning, making sure every property is presented to the right audience in its best light.
For Scott, it’s about anticipating where the market is going, not just where it is today. “Real estate is no longer just about putting a sign in the yard and waiting,” he says. “It’s about telling the right story, reaching the right buyers, and leveraging data to make every decision count.”
Marketing Luxury Properties
In today’s market, selling a luxury home requires more than professional photos and a listing on the MLS. It demands a marketing strategy that grabs attention, tells a story, and connects with the right buyers at the right time.
That’s where the Breakwater Team excels. Backed by Oak and Ocean Group’s marketing division, Breakwater takes a multi-layered approach to marketing luxury properties. From high-end photography and videography to targeted social media campaigns and private client outreach, every listing gets the full weight of a strategy designed to maximize exposure and create urgency among qualified buyers. The team doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.
What This Means for Myrtle Beach Buyers and Sellers
For homeowners looking to sell in Myrtle Beach’s luxury market, the Breakwater Team offers a level of service and strategy not seen on a local level.
The team’s infrastructure—17 buyer’s agents, 80,000+ client database, and inside sales professionals—means sellers aren’t just relying on passive marketing. Breakwater actively curates buyer pools, identifies prospects who are ready to buy, and connects them with properties that fit their needs.
This proactive approach means tangible benefits in pricing, negotiation, and time on market. Sellers benefit from targeted marketing and a team working behind the scenes every day to bring qualified buyers to the table.
For buyers, the Breakwater Team offers insider access to Myrtle Beach’s best properties, many of which never make it to the open market. The team’s local knowledge and relationships with developers provide opportunities that can’t be found online.
Ultimately, the Breakwater experience is about removing friction from the process. Whether you’re buying your first luxury home or selling an investment property, the team’s systems and support are designed to make every step seamless and stress-free.
Leadership Beyond Real Estate
While Scott Trembley’s accomplishments in real estate are impressive, his leadership goes far beyond property sales. Several years ago, Scott became a partner in TaylorMade Home Loans, a thriving mortgage business backed by ALCOVA Mortgage. This allowed him to bring the same level of service and expertise to the financing side of the process and further streamline the client experience.
At the heart of Scott’s work is a desire to develop others. He’s passionate about mentoring agents, building leaders, and helping professionals in the industry reach their potential. This has been evident in the over 500 real estate agents and CEOs he has trained across the country and the countless agents he’s inspired to elevate their businesses.
Outside of business, Scott’s greatest passion is his family. His two sons, Connor and Dylan, are the foundation of everything he does. That focus on family and long-term relationships carries over into his work with clients and colleagues alike.
“Real estate is a business built on trust and service,” he says. “At the end of the day, it’s about helping people achieve their goals and knowing you’ve made an impact that lasts.”
Looking to the Future of Myrtle Beach Luxury Real Estate
As Myrtle Beach evolves, its luxury market is getting more sophisticated. Buyers are coming for the coastal lifestyle, high-end communities, and investment potential. Sellers are facing more competition as more properties come to market and buyers demand more service.
Scott Trembley sees this as an opportunity for sellers to maximize their investment, for buyers to get properties in the best neighborhoods, and for agents to get into a system that will allow them to succeed.
“The Breakwater Team isn’t just about selling homes,” Scott says. “It’s about building relationships, anticipating market trends, and delivering results that set a new standard for what’s possible in this business.”
With its local expertise, marketing, and culture of service, the Breakwater Team is poised to lead Myrtle Beach luxury real estate into its next chapter.
For those ready to make their move in Myrtle Beach, the message is clear: Oak and Ocean Group and the Breakwater Team are the smarter way forward.
