My wife and I were searching for our first home and Cara and Jen were a perfect fit! Our initial consultation with Cara was very valuable. She asked all the right questions and helped guide us to the right neighborhoods and properties. In short, our experience with Jen and Cara exceeded all our expectations. We could not recommend the Cara Pearlman Group more highly.

We bought our house in the Twinbrook neighborhood of Rockville, Maryland in 1994. I grew up on Rockville and my wife also had family in the area. As we were planning our retirement to coastal Delaware, we were introduced to Megan Meekin and we worked with her and her company to put our house up for sale. We didn’t have any prior experience selling a house and were nervous about the process. Megan made us feel comfortable from the start. She helped us navigate needed upgrades to our home before putting it on the market. We had a defined timeline as we were buying a new home in Delaware. Megan helped us in determining the necessary upgrades and associ...

I had an exceptional experience working with Cara and Caitlin. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills made the home-buying process stress-free. They listened to my needs and went above and beyond to find the perfect home for me. Their knowledge of the market and negotiating skills were invaluable, ensuring I got the best deal possible.

Couldn’t imagine buying or selling with anyone other than Cara and her super team which explains why we’ve used her and her team for all our real estate transactions. They are endlessly patient, expertly knowledgeable, and unbelievably responsive in everything about the buying and selling process including providing great recommendations of other house-related people to work with we don’t know where we’d be if Cara hadn’t put us in touch with what seemed like the only mortgage broker who does bridge loans so that we could buy first and then sell.

We decided to move because we were looking for more space - we loved our old house and neighborhood but were bursting at the seams. When we sat down with Caitlin, she had the unique ability to help us focus in on what was important to us and then structure our entire purchase and sale process around those principles to allow it to run seamlessly, leaving us to feeling completely satisfied with the entire process. Caitlin helped us benefit from the depth of the compass digit platform driving efficiency and maximizing value in our sale process - guiding us each step along the way Catlin took what felt like an overwhelming life event and turned it into...

Cara and Jen helped us with the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous home true professionals! We viewed a lot of houses before finding the one, and Jen was tireless and upbeat throughout the many viewings, taking care to see what appealed and didn’t appeal. The house we finally purchased was one they suggested we look at, and we fell in love with it immediately! Throughout the sales process, Cara and Jen’s attention to detail and personal focus made it less daunting. Cara's connections with professionals needed to spruce and stage the house we sold made that whole process easy, while her sound advice guided us in making good decisio...

I have worked with Cara for over 10 years on multiple sales and purchase transactions. When it comes to professionalism, responsiveness, market knowledge, and effective negotiation, Cara is without a doubt the best agent I've ever come across. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for above market sales terms and/or below market purchase terms. In addition, she is so charming and likable but without a hint of pushiness. This leads her to be great to work with and also great for identifying off-market opportunities. She is revered by her peers and she often knows of opportunities well before other agents and that provides you, the buyer, wit...

Hands down the best realtor team in the DMV. My husband and I started our search in MD and ended it in VA, and due to family circumstances, we had to change our search criteria several times. Over the 2+ years we looked, Cara never wavered in her support and stepped in to help only when we needed it. When we were finally ready to narrow down our search last year to a specific area, Cara did everything she could to make sure we got in to see our top listings and were always a top contender on offers. We ended up getting our dream first home on a multiple offer listing only because of the extremely competitive offer the team helped us craft. The knowl...

My husband and I worked with Cara and her team to purchase a home during a particularly crazy time in the real estate market (2021-22), and we were so grateful for her deep knowledge of the local housing market, her focus in finding what we were looking for in a home, and her sense of humor. She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole search and gave such helpful advice when we were looking at listings and viewing homes in person as to whether something would be a good fit for us. We were first-time home buyers and had many questions, and it's hard to imagine having gone through this process without the help of Cara and her wonderful team. We...

We had an amazing experience with Cara and Caitlyn! Not only were they professional, reliable, and dependable they always were there for whatever we needed. They answered all of our questions from the start (which was a lot!) and were truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Selling a home and buying a home with 2 busy kids and a newborn was no easy task for us but Caitlyn and Cara made it as seamless as possible always stepping in where we could not to handle matters no matter what it was. They went above and beyond with every aspect of the buying and selling process. They never rushed us or pushed us to buy something that was not the "o...

Years ago, Cara and I met to discuss the option of purchasing a condo for myself. After many helpful conversations and a quick search, I realized the timing wasn’t quite right. Fast forward to today, when my fiancé and I decided to start looking for our first home I immediately knew I wanted to work with Cara. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and uncertainty about the process. Cara answered every question and taught us so much throughout this process. She would point out certain things in different properties that we would’ve never thought of. Having her expertise and help during this process was invaluable. She was always availab...

It was a pleasure working with Cara Pearlman and her Team from start to finish. When we listed our house for sale we interviewed several brokers, and Cara impressed us with her knowledge of the community, pleasant personality, and practical approach. More importantly, after working with Cara and her Team, we know we made the right choice. The Group helped us throughout the entire process suggesting cost-efficient ways to “freshen up“ our property, recommending contractors (all of whom were reasonably priced and performed well promptly), and assisting us in the pricing and marketing of our home. But Cara’s services didn’t end when our contract was si...

We had two kids in a very old, 1,300 sf house. We loved the neighborhood we were in but knew we needed more space. We had high expectations because of how much we loved our existing neighborhood. We wanted the same situation we had but with twice as much space. We couldn't afford to buy in our neighborhood so Cara and her team showed us homes in neighborhoods that had many of the same characteristics. The market was extremely hot and we missed out on the first few we chased because we couldn't afford where the pricing was headed. Cara then showed us a premarket building another Compass agent had just landed. We toured before the open house and with ...

Cannot recommend Cara and her team enough! We’ve used Cara since 2015 and she never disappoints. My husband and I just purchased a home in DC and ran into multiple bumps during the process. There’s no way we would have closed the deal if it weren’t for Cara’s extra time, effort, and industry knowledge. It’s no exaggeration when I say she worked double duty to get us to the finish line. She coordinated and had her team oversee the work of contractors hired to make the necessary repairs and fought to make sure we were able to close in under 30 days. Before making an offer on our home, her associate, TJ, met us at multiple properties, multiple times an...

We moved from DC to Bethesda seeking more space for our growing family, and choosing Cara as our realtor was the best decision we made during the process! She was referred to us by friends, we instantly connected with Cara due to her warm and professional demeanor and knowledge of the market. Throughout our seven-month new construction journey, her responsiveness was unparalleled; she was involved in every detail, ensuring we were never left wondering what to do next. We learned the invaluable lesson of having an experienced guide like Cara when unexpected issues arise. For anyone considering a move, our advice is simple: Work with Cara and her team...

This is the Platinum Standard in Montgomery County residential real estate. Cara Pearlman, Cada and her team will guarantee your home will sell fast for several points higher. Other realtors will appreciate working with her and negotiations are strategic and fair. Hire Cara, you will not regret it.

The Cara Pearlman group is not just a group, they genuinely care and support their buyers and sellers. As a client I was never made to feel like just a number, they have a personalized approach and truly listen to their client's needs. Cara and her team have outstanding communication skills and are professional and reliable. They go the extra mile and are always there when you call or need to meet. In real estate having exceptional market knowledge is a must and this team certainly has that going for them. I used them for both selling and buying and I could not be more delighted at our outcome. If you are looking for a real estate agent, this ...

Megan got our home ready for in less than 20 days, we had offers in the first 24 hours, we had tours scheduled as soon as the was live, and we accepted an offer within 7 days of going to . She was incredibly helpful in getting us prepared to show our house. She coordinated multiple vendors coming/going and scheduled everything from a deep clean to the staging consultations, to the inspections. I know she managed multiple inquiries and questions without coming to me or my husband for every single answer. Megan worked tirelessly to ensure the home was in great shape to show and then moved quickly on setting offer deadlines to get us the best offers po...

I had an incredible time working with Cara and TJ! I am SO HAPPY with the home I have! HIGHLY RECOMMEND :) As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous and didn't really know what I was looking for. Cara was amazing at helping me start my search using the Compass app. She added listings every day so I had new things to look at, but at the same time could listen to my feedback and constantly curate and narrow my search to prevent it from being overwhelming. When I was ready to look at places, Cara and TJ both did a great job pointing out pros and cons of possible homes, listening to me think out loud a lot and help me process what I wanted. I learned a...

Working with Jen was truly an incredible experience. From start to finish, she was thoughtful, empathetic, and deeply invested in understanding exactly what we needed and wanted. Her attention to detail and thorough approach made the entire process bearable for us, as home-buying was extremely daunting and tedious for us before we met her. She understood our busy schedules and lives and worked around it, making herself available for tasks if we were not. She kept up with news on our potential houses and advised us honestly, with our best interests in mind. She also had excellent connections to inspectors, who were all outstanding. She was easily acc...

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Cara and her team during my home-buying journey, and I can confidently say that their industry knowledge is unparalleled. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Cara is incredibly well-versed in the market. She took the time to understand my needs and priorities, and she made sure I felt confident every step of the way. What truly stood out was her proactive approach. She didn’t just wait for things to happen, she was always ahead of the curve, providing timely updates, anticipating potential challenges, and offering insights I hadn’t even considered. Cara was patient, waiting for the right opport...

Megan was hands-down the best realtor and partner we could have asked for in our first home buying experience. She is filled with industry and area expertise, a robust network, impeccable attention to detail, and incredible patience. In addition to being the best agent in the DMV, she is also a superb educator. With it being our first time buying a home, she took time to educate us throughout the process, and was incredibly patient with us as we learned. When it came time to the offer process, Megan treated it like it was for her own home. She was always in communication with us, dealt with a difficult negotiation on our behalf, and made the process...

We had a great experience buying our home with Cara! She was extremely helpful throughout the process. As first time home buyers, we really appreciated the insight she shared about each house we toured. She made the process feel easy and everyone on her team was great. A friend recommended her to us and we’ll definitely recommend her to others!

We decided to move because I started a new job in Herndon and the commute from Kensington was becoming overwhelming, especially with a new baby at home. We wanted more time with him and a home that would better support our growing family. We chose to work with Cara again because she had represented us when we bought our Kensington home and we trusted her completely. She already understood what mattered to us, our style, and how we make decisions, which made the entire process feel manageable from the beginning. What truly set Cara apart was her strategy. We were searching in a very competitive area of Northern Virginia for a specific mid-century m...

I have worked with Cara for five years, researching properties and market conditions. I eventually listed my house for sale with her, in the midst of the very challenging 2025 market. Her staging and placement recommendations were first rate, and we sold the property for a fair price. All the time she was also working with me on my purchase of a new home in the area, and guided me away from potential properties that looked attractive at first glance but which would not have worked in the long run. She passed up the opportunity for a rapid commission in order to ensure that I would be happy in whatever I did choose to purchase. When I did place a con...

TJ Morton just sold our home in less than a week for well above asking and, he did it during the worst market in years! TJ clearly understands the market and was a genius at pricing and positioning our home to be a stand out among other homes for sale in our neighborhood. We are seniors, have a bit of experience with realtors, but have never had a realtor like TJ. He was unbelievably hands-on, responsive and oh so patient with our many questions in our whirlwind experience. TJ was clearly the right agent at the right time for us! Imagine what he could do for you in a good market!

Working with Cara has been such a great experience. We have now worked with her through 3 transactions, buying two homes and selling one. Her expertise, patience and care led to successful outcomes and a worry-free process. Our most recent home search lasted nearly two years, and throughout that time, Cara remained extremely supportive. She helped us understand not just what we thought we wanted in a home, but what would truly fit our lifestyle. She guided us through different neighborhoods, pointed out details we would’ve never noticed on our own, and always provided honest, thoughtful feedback—never pushing us, always advocating for what was righ...

Megan Meekin is an absolute professional. She made a challenging move for our family as seamless and positive as possible. She immediately had a vision for how our home would sell, how she would locate the buyers, and exactly how the process would meet our timeline. And she delivered exactly that, bringing us multiple offers above our asking price. Megan brings calm and competence to what can be a stressful transition. She helped us find the best movers and a reliable handyman for a modest amount of home repairs prior to showings. She also went out of her way to find us a new realtor in another state, and she even informally interviewed him. I'm onl...

Megan was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly exceeded expectations from listing to sale. She made reasonable suggestions to improve the marketability of our house and we had the good sense to follow her advice - whether it was a new fan or paint color. She priced our home well, marketed it beautifully, and helped us through every step with professionalism and expertise. She answered our questions and concerns promptly and displayed a wealth of knowledge of all things real estate. Megan sold our home quickly and over our asking price with a clean contract. In short, she gave us excellent service. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly re...

Just completed my third transaction with Megan Meekin. I was selling my home and wanted a strong offer as quickly as possible. I was reluctant to spend the extra money to have the home staged. Megan and team convinced me it would pay off. The home was staged, listed on Thursday, and three days later I had multiple offers. I ended up receiving a full cash offer, at my asking price, with not contingencies and closed in less the than two weeks. I couldn't be more satisfied.

I had a great experience working with my Megan-from start to finish. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had my best interests in mind throughout the process. Her guidance made everything smooth and stress-free, and I always felt confident in every decision. I highly recommend Pearlman Meekin &Co to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

My wife and I have worked with several dozen real estate agents over the years, and Cara Pearlman is—without question—the best we’ve ever encountered. We first met her when she was the listing agent for a home in Marwood in Potomac, and we were immediately impressed by her knowledge, professionalism, and calm demeanor. Although we weren’t serious buyers at the time and didn’t purchase that home, she made such a lasting impression that we reached out to her a year or two later when we began searching for our forever home. What followed was a two-year journey, and we certainly weren’t the easiest clients. Through it all, Cara remained incredibly pati...

I am so grateful for the experience of working with Cara on the sale of my rental property in Kensington. The horrific conditions these renters left when they finally vacated the home would’ve made any realtor walk away. Cara and her team remained so positive and caring when I kept doubting myself that this house would ever be ready to sell. They were professional, knowledgeable, responsive and truly went above and beyond to make the process smooth. The home had been left with significant damage and repair issues making me feel overwhelmed and completely helpless-especially with funds running low. This team stepped in with guidance, resources, and c...
