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 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 and never, ever lost patience.  Their goal was to make sure we ended up in a home that we loved and they guided us through the process in a way that limited our stress as much as possible.  Once we made the offer, the Director of Ops, Cada, was in touch regularly to make sure we had everything we needed to get to close and to answer any questions/provide updates. If you want to work with an agent who is extremely knowledgeable, will fight for you and keep it real during stressful and often emotional times, you won’t find a team more suited for the job than Cara’s!

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 available for advice, questions and always made us feel like a priority and never a bother.

Not only is Cara amazing to work with - she has an unbelievable team. From Caitlin to Cada - everyone was incredibly kind, helpful and responsive.

From our first meeting to settlement day, I am so thankful that we were able to work with Cara and her team as they made this huge life event a great experience for us.

It was a pleasure working with Cara Pearlman and her Team— from start to finish.  When we listed our house for sale we interviewed a number of 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 in a timely manner) and assisting us in the pricing and marketing of our home.  But Cara’s services didn’t end when our contract was signed--her Team then helped us navigate both the closing and relocation processes. The Group went above and beyond, and provided much more guidance than we expected to receive from our real estate agent. We can’t recommend Cara and her Team highly enough, and we are confident that anyone who engages the Cara Pearlman Team will be well served, and as pleased with its services as we have been.

TJ was very helpful with the purchase process of my condo. As a first time buyer he was supportive, knowledgeable with every of my questions and concerns. Highly recommend him as a realtor agent for all first time buyers like me.

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 decisions. We could not have been happier with both outcomes!

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've recommended Cara and Jen to several friends already. While we were thrilled to finally close on a home in a neighborhood we loved, the one disappointment was no longer having a reason to catch up with Cara and Jen!

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 "one" we wanted. When the "one" did come on market and it was a highly sough after home they helped us with the winning contract and I couldn't believe it when Caitlyn said our contract won! All thanks to the amazing Cara and Caitlyn! We are so happy with our experience and would recommend Cara and her team to everyone we know. Thank you both so much for everything!

Cara and her team supported me in the buying process on two different properties in the Montgomery County / DC Metro area. In both instances, we encountered extremely competitive bids and Cara's knowledge of the local market and conditions allowed us to eke out on top each time! Her team was always on point and very supportive throughout the entire process. Greatly appreciative of all the help - highly recommend!

My wife and I worked with Cara and her group to find and buy a new home and to sell our existing home in a process that lasted over a year and a half because we had some specific requirements for our new home.  Cara listened to what we wanted and found out where we could compromise in our requirements.  Her knowledge of homes was instrumental in our avoiding sometimes subtle features that detracted from a certain house.  When we found a home we liked, Cara  recommended really good a home inspection and gave us helpful advice on completing our offer, which was accepted.  When we were ready to sell our old home, Cara was very helpful in pointing out things that should be repaired and recommended a construction and cleaning contractor, a staging contractor, and a great strategy for pricing our home.  We were happy with our experience with Cara in both the buying and selling phases of our effort.  When time comes to sell our current home, we would definitely use Cara's expertise again.

Cara was great to work with during our home buying and selling process. She helped us find a home in our preferred neighborhood and sell our condo--and she was very communicative and honest in the process. We were referred to Cara by some friends and I would do the same for anyone I know who was looking.

Cara and her team are exceptional and very communicative. New to the DC area, a colleague recommended Cara as my realtor. My spouse and I met with her virtually to discuss our priorities and desired areas. Quickly she was on it to set up our access to view properties online and then visit them in person when we were ready. All the paperwork was accurate and seamless and she was always willing to answer our various questions. We're so grateful she was our advocate during the very stressful process of buying an amazing home in a new state.

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. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you so much again Cara and Caitlin for helping me find my first beautiful home!
