We’re lucky to live in a region where so many dedicated agents make buying or selling a home a smooth, rewarding experience.
At Pearlman Meekin & Co., we bring something different to every transaction: a personal, thoughtful approach that blends decades of local market knowledge with hands-on guidance. Real estate is more than numbers and listings, it’s about helping people navigate one of life’s biggest decisions with confidence and clarity. Every client, home, and goal is unique, and we tailor our guidance to match. Over the years, our team has closed over $600M+ in sales, earned recognition from Washingtonian and Bethesda Magazine, and consistently delivered results that exceed expectations. But what truly sets us apart is the care, collaboration, and personal touch we bring to every client relationship.

Megan Meekin
A Montgomery County native and fifth-generation Washingtonian, Megan knows Rockville inside and out. Her detail-orientated approach and deep knowledge of neighborhoods, schools, and community life give clients an insider perspective on the area. Megan has been recognized as the top agent in Rockville, #2 agent at Compass DMV in 2023, and consistently ranks among the top agents in the region.
Megan’s buyers and sellers benefit from pre-market and off-market access, giving them opportunities before homes hit the MLS. Living in Rockville with her family, Megan combines local insight with a personal touch, helping clients feel confident in one of the most competitive markets in the DC area.

TJ Morton
TJ brings extensive knowledge of DC neighborhoods and the surrounding suburbs, combined with a client-first approach that guides every transaction. He excels at helping families navigate downsizing, relocating, or buying their first home by providing calm, clear guidance every step of the way.
With a calm, client-first approach and a strong understanding of homes and the communities they’re in, TJ helps clients make confident, well-informed decisions. Whether it’s a suburban move, a first-time purchase, or preparing a home for sale, he is known for a steady, supportive presence throughout the process.

Jillian lives in Petworth, where she is deeply involved in the local community, and she is currently building her own home in Bethesda, giving her firsthand experience with new construction and the considerations of creating a dream home from the ground up. She guides clients throughout DC neighborhoods, helping buyers and sellers feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Jillian’s approach blends warmth and professionalism, making every interaction personal and supportive. From helping first-time buyers navigate the city’s competitive market to assisting sellers in achieving their goals, she ensures every client feels seen, heard, and guided with clarity.
