Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Pavel is multi-lingual, a licensed pilot and certified ski instructor. He began his Real Estate and building career in 1973 in Michigan, where he built more than 300 custom homes near Ann Arbor and Detroit. After moving to Southern California, he also practiced real estate and later was employed by J.M. Peters Company, a prestigious Newport Beach-based residential developer. Pavel's extensive knowledge and experience provide a solid foundation for Dreamcatcher Real Estate Companies and Dreamcatcher Building Services, Inc. Now, Dreamcatcher has become the #1 Boutique real estate company with a small but high powered and competent cadre of experienced real estate professionals who frequently outperform the franchised big guys who staff 3 times the number of Realtors. This can be partly attributed to a unique work philosophy that entails strict emphasis on impeccable service to clients while not solely focusing on the monetary aspect of the business. Pavel’s expertise, coupled with a creative vision of Taos's future, became the driving force behind Pueblo de los Sueños (Pueblo of Dreams), a completed and sold out condominium project on Kit Carson Road. The project's success led to Suenos del Canon Condominiums, Casa Encantada Condominiums and Suenos de la Loma. Dreamcatcher Plaza, Taos's first premier Office suites, is the home of Dreamcatcher Real Estate Co., Inc. and is also the reflection of Pavel's vision for new development. In 2001, the Mayor of Taos appointed Pavel to the Town of Taos Planning Commission where he is still the Vice-Chair as well as he is a member of the Historical Preservation Commission. These positions serve as the public’s acknowledgment of Pavel's commitment to the preservation and enhancement of the town's uniqueness, and his integrity. Pavel is credited with the highest residential sale to date, ($2,400,000) and with having single-handedly sold "Ski Rio", a 2700 acre Ski Area and snowboarder paradise and The Latir Ranch, a 6000 plus acre ranch and hunting retreat, to date the largest commercial/ranch sales in Taos Co. With such a track record spanning almost 2 decades in Taos, choosing Pavel to represent your real estate objectives is more than just a safe bet that you will receive the highest degree of competence and knowledge of the Taos area real estate market. In closing, no matter what brings you to Taos, Pavel & Dreamcatcher Real Estate is your first friend ready to not only welcome you but who will deliver while making your experience a joyful journey.

We found Pavel Lukes of Dreamcatcher very professional, energetic and focused… Wouldn’t dream (pardon the pun) of using anyone else for my future [real estate] needs...
We would like to thank you for helping to make our dream of owning a vacation home a reality. The process of purchasing a home can be complicated and stressful, but from beginning to end, you made it a very pleasant experience...
Dreamcatcher Real Estate readily provided names and contacts for attendant property ownership... Beginning anew in unfamiliar territory was made easy. Again, thanks Dreamcatcher!
From the first time we talked to you, through the closing and continuing to today, your help has been outstanding…
Thank you for all your generosity. Thanks also to your entire staff.
…thank you for all you did to help make our dreams into reality
Dreamcatcher has been great for me… sold three of my houses and a piece of land.
