For Isle of Hope native Charlie Harrell, maritime roots run deep. Harrell grew up in Sandfly, minutes from the home his grandparents built on Isle of Hope in 1973. Today, he and his wife are revitalizing that same family house while preparing to welcome their first child.

Harrell’s connection to local waters made joining Pop Sells—formerly Pop Yachts—a natural fit. The full-service boat and RV brokerage operates nationwide, connecting private sellers with buyers without charging upfront fees. Sellers continue using their vessels or campers while listed, while Pop handles professional photography, specs, and national marketing through its parent firm, CAR Group.

For Harrell, the work is deeply personal. His late father served as a local Pop consultant for years. When Harrell reached out to list a personal camper nearly three years after his father's passing, he learned no one had covered the Savannah and Lowcountry territory since. Joining the company allowed him to step into his father’s shoes.

"As soon as my interview started, they said I had the job based off my dad's impact," Harrell said.

Harrell now delivers hands-on local service across coastal Georgia and South Carolina, supported by his wife, who handles navigation and logistics while he uploads property specs on the road. A dedicated closing department manages title work, contracts, and secure payments for every deal.

His primary advice to Isle of Hope neighbors is to treat recreational craft like serious investments. High-resolution photos, exact specifications, and accurate condition notes attract genuine buyers and stronger offers.

"Whether you're buying or selling, a quick conversation can save you time, stress, and money," Harrell said.
