PAVEL LUKES
OWNER/BROKER #13078
LICENSED BUILDER

Top Producer! Pavel has practiced real estate since 1973, having been a licensed Realtor in 5 states and a contractor in 3 states. There is no other Realtor in Taos with more experience. Pavel has never sought any affiliations with America’s corporate real estate franchises. Instead, focusing on affiliation with the people and businesses of Northern New Mexico. Our Brokerage generated money stays in the local community.
Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Pavel is multi-lingual, a licensed pilot and certified ski instructor and most importantly Realtor, Builder/Developer. Pavel loves construction! He began his Real Estate and building career in 1973 in Michigan, where he built more than 300 custom homes near Ann Arbor and throughout Southeastern Michigan. His claim to fame, from those days, was building a home for Dr. Fauci’s boss, the NIH (National Institute of Health) director Dr. Francis Collins, while he was at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and well before he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November 2007, and received the National Medal of Science in 2009 and appointed by President Obama.
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 of high-end homes.
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.
Dreamcatcher’s commitment of service to clients is #1 and extends far beyond successful closings. It’s all about establishing relationships and becoming a meaningful resource for clients before, during, and after a sale. 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 active. He was also a member of the Historic 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 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., not once but twice. With such a track record, going back to 1994, 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 and resource on all things Taos, for many years to come.
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, on your Taos dreams, while making your experience a joyful journey.

Melody has an accounting and business management background and was a successful business owner, of a security service in Indiana, for over 20 years. She fell for Taos years ago after backpacking, on vacation, in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and decided to move permanently. It was her home-buying experience here that also prompted a career change. "I knew my new home the minute I saw it. It had the character and feel I was looking for. There are no cookie-cutter homes in Taos; all are unique, with architectural design and construction distinctive to Northern New Mexico.”
As the Vice President of Dreamcatcher Real Estate, Melody manages and directs the company's marketing and brand imaging. She is most proud of her initiative on this recently redesigned and acclaimed website. Seller's and buyers alike appreciate its design, content and functionality. In addition to traditional marketing avenues, Melody is continually researching the best venues in which to market Taos properties. "No longer will an ad in the local paper sell your home. We need to think outside the box and focus on global marketing."
Melody’s enthusiasm for her profession, plus an eye for detail, will make your home-buying or selling experience enjoyable and successful.

Chad Belvill
Associate Broker #REC-2024-0150
chad@taosnewmexico.com
575-779-3612
Explorer. Adventurer. Creator. Dad. These are the four corners of Chads world, one that is well anchored into the land around him. Born and raised in the midwest, Chad traded cornfields and silos for mountains and rivers in the Pacific Northwest as soon as he possibly could. He arrived in Taos in the summer of 2007 for what was to have been a long weekend hunting porcini mushrooms high in the surrounding mountains and connecting with an old friend. 17 years later, he’s still here. You may have met him vending his flavors of farmed and foraged fungi at the Taos or Santa Fe Farmers markets over the years, running the trails or standing stream side stalking trout with his zen like approach; or more likely, witnessed he and his young son Keenan out on a hair-raising adventure. Much like the hummingbird, his spirit animal, he is rarely seen sitting still. A day without a challenge is a day that’s been wasted.

BALTAZAR THE GREAT R.I.P.
OFFICE DOG
Once upon a time, I was down on my luck, cold, hungry & really scared. Thru no fault of my own and despite my devilish good looks, I had hit the skids, and it wasn’t long before I ended up in a shelter for the down & out…... Just when I had given up almost all hope, my Mom & Dad saw my cute smiling face on www.petfinder.com.
Now, I am Baltazar the Great! I am top dog at Dreamcatcher Real Estate. Please let my Dad (Pavel Lukes) or my Mom (Melody Lukes) do for YOU what they have done for me…find you a warm inviting shelter..a place to call HOME.
When they do help you find your special home, they will donate to Stray Hearts Animal Shelter in Taos or to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center to help provide for my brothers and sisters in fur.
