Alexandria, VA | April 10, 2026 — Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty is thrilled to announce that industry veteran Charles Cockrill has joined the Annapolis Office. With a career spanning over four decades, Charles brings an unparalleled level of expertise, dedication, and heart to Anne Arundel, Howard, Harford, and Baltimore Counties.

Charles began his real estate journey in 1979, fueled by a natural passion for sales that began during his time as a regional manager for Bunn-O-Matic. Over the decades, he has navigated every imaginable real estate scenario - from helping first-time buyers find their footing to managing complex commercial deals, investors, and luxury estates. His strategic thinking is matched only by his "client-first" philosophy; Charles views real estate not as a series of transactions, but as an opportunity to build lifelong relationships rooted in kindness, empathy, and active listening.

"My goal has always been to meet clients where they are and solve their challenges with care," said Charles. "At PenFed Realty, I have the tools and the world-class brand support to take that service to the next level for my clients."

This dedication to his clients and colleagues was never more evident than when his entire top-producing team chose to follow his leadership during his transition to PenFed Realty—a powerful testament to the trust and culture he builds.

"Charles brings a wealth of specialized knowledge in luxury and commercial real estate that is hard to find," said Elizabeth Jennings of PenFed Realty. "His track record of success and his heart for the community are exactly what we look for in our agents."

When he isn't turning real estate dreams into reality or studying the fine craftsmanship of European cars like Mercedes and BMW, Charles enjoys exploring the world through travel and cruising. We are proud to have Charles as part of the PenFed Realty family and know he will be a fantastic resource for home buyers, sellers, and investors!

Welcome to PFR Nation, Charles!
