Catskill Dream Team

Fantastic experience: THE WINNER IS ME…..We just broke a record with our EIGHTH transaction. From viewing the listing, submitting an offer and then under contract in LESS than 4 hours. That’s 4 Hours not days which is amazing. If you want results you owe it to yourself to give Peggy and Cricket a call. You won’t be disappointed, I should know because I am a Happy Repeat (8x) Client! Patricia Cassidy

Fantastic experience: Cricket & Peggy’s deep local knowledge and prolific deal experience were incredibly valuable to me during the process of selling my home. I really appreciated how they were able to calm my nerves during the sales process by drawing on relevant situations they had recently navigated successfully. They always made time for my numerous brainstorming sessions and brought thoughtful, creative solutions to each of our conversations. Cricket & Peggy have the best of both worlds: a stellar small-town reputation paired with big-city social media and marketing prowess. There is no BS with them—they do exactly what they say they will do. Reliable, responsible, and highly capable, I highly recommend Cricket & Peggy of the Catskills Dream Team and I will definitely be using them again to sell my next house.

Fantastic experience: There aren’t enough superlatives to say about the “Dream Team.” What an incredible duo to handle your RE transaction. They approach every issue with intelligence, experience & empathy. They maneuver you through the twists and turns you may not expect, and bring you through the transaction without drama. They give you the best advice and knowledge they can offer, and you can trust it. Peggy and Cricket are the Dream Team!

Fantastic experience: When it came time to sell my home in Andes, deciding to let it go was emotional and bittersweet—but also an exciting step into a new phase of my life. Peggy and Cricket of the Catskills Dream Team saw the house not just as real estate, but as my living, creative sanctuary, with its own unique energy and soul—and that made my choice effortless. They understood what the home meant to me, met the process with genuine empathy, and went above and beyond in countless ways that are anything but typical. Their expertise, care, and attention to every detail made the sale feel aligned and seamless. They were the perfect team to guide my home into its next chapter while I stepped joyfully into mine! I am endlessly grateful.

Fantastic experience: Professional, understanding, and delightful

Fantastic experience: We originally worked with Cricket and the Catskill Dream Team back in 2021 to purchase a cabin up in the Catskills. Cricket was super responsive and proactive, and did an incredible job helping us secure the cabin of our dreams. We hired Cricket and Peggy again for a sale, and cannot recommend them enough. The process was quick, their pricing was spot on, and both Cricket and Peggy were responsive to us. We would hire them again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much for supporting us on our WHC journey!

Negative experience: Very motivated team. Other than that if you want your house trashed and your personal property trashed use them . Never have I had my personal property or things close to my heart thrown basically in the trash or corner of my home happened like these too girls did. Your response was nothing g but an excuse.. You took precious photos, brick a brack and put them in garbage pail. You took mirrors off the walls and never out them bsck You put my printer under one of the beds. You put my window curtains in a pile on my bed You took wreaths and nick knacks off the walls and piled them in a corner. I found family blankets down the basement. I can go on an on. Plus the houae was basically sold before you got listing, but I was out of state and trusted you 2 clowns. . I told you how much those things meant to me after my wife passed and you said you understood. Your a disgrace to the realeste profession. Your guys sure fooled me.

Fantastic experience: Our experience was great. This was my sixth house sold and they were by far the best. The situation was that my father passed away and we had to get the house ready for sale -- but we were remote and the house with jammed full with stuff. They helped us figure out what to remove and what to leave and managed to arrange the remaining items to best effect. They had excellent photos taken and managed to drive a huge response on digital media. On top of all that, they helped with all sorts of random things that needed doing locally. In the end, we had multiple offers over asking. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Peggy and Cricket at Catskill Dream Team have been exceptional throughout an extremely complex real estate process. From start to finish, they provided consistent support, guidance, and professionalism. As out-of-state sellers managing the sale of a family member’s estate, we faced unique challenges. Peggy and Kricket went above and beyond—securing the right buyer while also assisting with on-site needs, including handling small but important tasks at the property, despite the distance. Their flexibility, responsiveness, and genuine compassion made an incredibly difficult time much more manageable for our family. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and care, and we could not have navigated this process without them.

Fantastic experience: Cricket and Peggy went above-and-beyond at every twist and turn of the sale of our house. They were extremely knowledgeable about the market, stayed cool and calm when issues came up, and always had our back. They were super responsive to our questions (practically 24/7!). And they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Glad the house is sold, but we'll miss working with Cricket and Peggy!

Fantastic experience: I purchased raw land in the catskills 5 years ago having no idea what I was getting into. Cricket sold me the land and I was impressed with her so upon finishing the completed house I contacted Catskill Dream Team to sell the finished product. Cricket and Peggy clearly had my best interests in mind and were not looking to flip the house quickly. They went above and beyond to help make improvements to the house that maximzied the value. If you are looking to buy or sell in the catskills and want honest experienced guidance I highly recommmend Catskill Dream Team.

Fantastic experience: Peggy and Cricket recently sold a property for my wife and I, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience! From listing the property to getting us to the closing table, they were knowledgeable, proactive, quick to respond to communication, professional, and all around just wonderful to work with. They kept us updated every step of the way and made the process incredibly easy and stress-free for us - all of which we truly appreciated. We definitely made the right choice in having them represent us, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough positive things about our realtors Catskill Dream Team and the exceptional job they did helping us sell our home. From day one, their knowledge of the market was evident. They provided clear, data-driven guidance on pricing, positioning, and timing, which gave us complete confidence in the strategy. Their experience truly showed throughout the entire process. They anticipated challenges before they arose, handled every detail seamlessly, and ensured nothing fell through the cracks. From staging advice and professional marketing to negotiations and closing coordination, every step was handled with precision and care. What stood out most was their professionalism. Communication was consistent, transparent, and proactive. They were always available to answer questions, explain next steps, and provide honest advice. We never felt pressured—only supported and well represented. Most importantly, they advocated for our best interests at every turn. Their negotiation skills were outstanding, and they worked tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome for us. Selling a home can be stressful, but they made the experience smooth and even enjoyable. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, experienced, and highly professional real estate experts.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Cricket Keys and Peggy Bollar of the Catskills Dream Team Realty firm recently to sell our Andes home They were phenomenal agents to work with on our land and home sale. They were extremely knowledgeable about rural realty selling and conducted themselves professionally and conscientiously throughout. They provided timely and correct information when needed, and always made a point to be at all the various inspections that were needed. In ending this chapter of our lives they were kind, decent, and fun people to work with. You can’t go wrong in having this real estate team work for you on your sale. Thank you! Pamela and Paul

Fantastic experience: Peggy and Cricket are amazing! We came to them with an intense list of things we were looking for that we didn’t think would actually be possible to find in one house, and they showed us the most perfect home that was off the market. Because of their expertise and vast network we’re now owners of our dream home. After finding that home, they also marketed and sold our old house brilliantly. They got us competitive offers and helped navigate the sale process deftly, even when hiccups occurred. Peggy and Cricket are professional, extremely communicative, kind, and clearly well-loved and respected members of the Catskills community, which made working with them a dream.

Fantastic experience: It was a true pleasure having Cricket and Peggy be our realtors working to sell our business and building. They were very professional and made the entire process happen so smoothly. I loved how quickly they both came in did an amazing photo shoot of our place and put it all together for a spectacular listing. Communication was great and they took care of everything. They were wonderful!

Fantastic experience: Smooth. Professional. Delightful to work with. Suffice it to say that Cricket and Peggy are indeed "The Dream Team."

Fantastic experience: Cricket and team were wonderful to work with. They helped us as buyers and then again as sellers, and both times she was so easy to work with. The CDT really go above and beyond to help you, whether as a buyer or seller. I would not hesitate to contact them again if I ever need their services again.

Fantastic experience: We are very happy to highly recommend the Catskill Dream Team. Cricket and Peggy were very friendly in their advice as we prepared the house for market. They were very knowledgable in recommending local, timely repair and service people. The Catskill Dream Team were excellent in their communication with us through the process of marketing, showing the house, helping us accept an offer and working with us through closing. They went the extra mile to help us sell the house above the price we initially expected.

Fantastic experience: Peggy couldn't have been more helpful throughout the whole process of selling our house and property. She went above and beyond to make sure any questions were answered and she made sure to check in frequently, so we felt totally supported. Her wonderful description and photos of our property elicited a great response and we were able to sell our place quickly. Additionally, Peggy was always considerate when scheduling visits and continually maintained a positive, sunny attitude. This was much appreciated when we were feeling stressed! We highly recommend Peggy Bellar.

Fantastic experience: My experience working with Cricket and Peggy from The Dream Team far exceeded my expectations, True professionals. Knowledgeable and responsive . Being genuinely good people was the cherry on the cake.

Fantastic experience: The Catskill Dream Team: Peggy and Phyllis totally lived up to their company name! In selling our home these full-time professionals were dynamic, hard working, on time, with great market knowledge and continuous and timely followup.

Fantastic experience: We had worked with Peggy & Cricket on the sale of our home. They were great from start to finish! Being local to the area was a definite perk as they could be at the home instantly for any and all appointments. Their communication was always crystal clear, and they would always take the extra step to help with any questions that had come up throughout the process. If you ever need to sell your home or purchase a new one in the Catskill area, we highly recommend Peggy & Cricket with the Catskill Dream Team. You will be extremely happy!

Fantastic experience: Cricket was the most amazing realtor I have ever worked with. I knew she would be right after our first conversation. Cricket and her team worked to come up with a plan and shared a comprehensive ppt deck outlining their strategy. From that moment on, her team used their social channels to create excitement about the upcoming listing and then knocked the actual listing out of the park. The write up and pics were perfect. Our home sold in 1 week 20% over asking. Cricket and the team did not stop there. Even after we had an accepted offer, she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. I could not recommend anyone more. Cricket and team are the best of the best.

Fantastic experience: Second time working with Peggy and Cricket, seamless process and so helpful from start to end!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Peggy and the Catskill Dream Team for more than a decade, and together we’ve closed multiple real estate transactions in the Catskills and across New York. Their level of dedication, attention to detail, and genuine customer care is truly remarkable. Peggy is incredibly patient and selfless—she once spent nearly two years showing me raw land parcels, driving miles upon miles without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. Her willingness to go the extra mile, both literally and figuratively, is unparalleled. Beyond their exceptional service when buying, Peggy and her colleague Cricket have also assisted me in selling properties. They helped create a stunning listing for one of my properties, complete with conceptual architectural drawings, which drew immediate attention and ultimately sold well above the asking price. Their knowledge of the market, combined with their creative marketing approach, makes for a winning formula. Even after a sale, Peggy and Cricket continue to offer support and insight—on one occasion, they took it upon themselves to capture gorgeous drone photos of a piece of land I had purchased, simply to provide me with additional perspectives. Their enthusiasm, expertise, and genuine warmth are a powerful combination. I can’t recommend Peggy and the entire Catskill Dream Team highly enough for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Catskills or beyond.

They have a full understanding of the entire Catskill area and knew exactly how to handle our home sale. Everything about the process was done with the utmost professionalism. They were quick to respond when we reached out and proactive in contacting us whenever there was an update to share, no matter how large or small. We could not have asked for better partners in helping us sell our home. We would highly recommend the Catskill Dream Team for anyone looking to buy/sell in upstate NY.

Fantastic experience: Peggy and the Catskill Dream Team have outdone themselves by selling our house! It had been on the market for over a YEAR with another well known realtor with almost no showings. Peggy was recommended to us by my local hair salon (and don't they know everything?) and within a week of listing they were showing to qualified buyers on a regular basis. And then Bam - Sold! Professionalism, attention to detail and a connection with buyers near and far - these are what you want in your corner and the Dream Team has got it all in spades. We highly recommend Peggy and Cricket as the best results oriented realtors in the Catskills and beyond!

Incredibly communicative and responsive, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They truly are a dream team! We will certainly be reaching out to them for any future real estate needs in the area. You should too! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience we had with the Catskill Dream Team in selling our beloved house in the Catskills. From Day 1 to post close, the days working with Peggy Bellar and Cricket Keys was a dream. From the initial sit-down day to discuss the potential sale of the house we knew we were in the hands of very knowledgeable experts. They immediately understood our objectives and formulated a selling strategy that led to a win/win situation for both us, the sellers, and the eventual buyers. They developed a marvelous marketing strategy including a beautiful video and website of our house and property. They worked expeditiously with the potential buyers’ brokers in handling an almost instantaneous heated competition for the house. Peggy and Cricket were there for us during an extended closure period juggling our priorities with requests from the potential buyers. And, what cannot be overstated, is that beyond the Dream Team’s expertise and fulfilling of our contract, we received additional TLC beyond our expectations that was truly special. We highly recommend their services.

Fantastic experience: The Catskills Dream Team are literally that… the dream team. This was our second property working with Peggy & Cricket, and having worked with a few other agents before, it’s safe to say they go above and beyond to ensure a smooth sale and are amazing at what they do. They both live and breathe real estate and the Catskills, so their knowledge of the area and market is unrivalled. They’re also the most responsive real estate duo I’ve come across in the Catskills, whether a call or a text they’ll be right on it before you even thought possible. More importantly, they’re the kindest people. The only agents I will work with!!

Fantastic experience: This real estate team is really a dream. They go the extra mile on every detail from presentation, price, negotiations and fielding issues that come up. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Peggy and Cricket make an amazing team and my experience working with them to sell my home was excellent. From the moment we started working together, their expertise was clear - they know the market and provided expert counsel pricing the home, arranging for gorgeous photos marketing the home etc. And they were by my side throughout the process, deftly managing the sometimes stressful negotiations to get the deal to close. I can't say enough good things about this team!

Fantastic experience: It has been such a fun (and successful!) process searching for an upstate home with Cricket and the Catskill Dream Team. Her knowledge of the area and the market were completely essential in guiding us to our ideal property (and sage advice against settling too quickly for something that wasn't right for us). It has been such a pleasure to have had the benefit of her time and upbeat outlook, and we'd thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for their next home!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to sell or buy a home in the Catskills, look no further than the "Catskill Dream Team." Peggy and Cricket are two professional, knowledgeable, and very hard working smart women. We made the best decision when we hired them to sell our log cabin in Roxbury. They were quick to respond to our questions, they listened to our concerns and kept us informed. They were always kind, positive and thoughtful throughout the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them! Joan and Carl Medsker

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Catskill Dream Team enough for anyone looking to sell a property especially one with unique challenges. Their professionalism, integrity and genuine care make them great at what they do. Thank you Peggy and Cricket,

Fantastic experience: Peggy and her colleagues did an excellent job enabling me to sell a very large parcel of land (subject to a Watershed Agricultural Council easement) in the New Kingston Valley. She and her team carefully, actively, and efficiently brokered the transaction.

Fantastic experience: Cricket at Catskill Dream Team found us the most special land in Andes. Cricket was organized, communicative, thorough and fun to work with. She isn't afraid to get into the weeds with you, literally. Hiccups came up with the seller and she handled them expertly. I wholeheartedly recommend working with them!

Fantastic experience: A company that lives up to its title. Peggy and the rest of her associates are a pleasure to work with. You won’t find anyone more committed than this team from start to finish. I would 100% highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Unfortunately Peggy Bellar of the Catskill Dream Team is far from my home in Rochester NY, but she went out of her way to give me advice and guidance on my first home purchase. She even helped me vett a local agent to work with. Her recommendation was outstanding and I was able to purchase my first home. If I'm ever looking for a home in the Catskills I will absolutely use her services.

Fantastic experience: Peggy and Cricket are hands down the most professional, charming, intelligent, honest, ethical, hard working real estate rock stars that have gone above and beyond the call of duty on every twist and turn to help us sell our house, enjoy the process and obtain our full asking price reflecting the value of a truly one of a kind home. Peggy and Cricket were selfless, personable and totally committed to deliver a superb client service to us and to the buyers. I just cannot say enough good things about them. Thank you ladies.

Fantastic experience: Working with Peggy was an absolute pleasure. My husband and I recently purchased our first home in the Catskills to pursue our dream of starting a small farm. From the very beginning, we felt at ease with Peggy on our side. She was very quick to respond to all our questions, both via email and by phone, and she always made sure that we had the most useful information on hand. She's so proactive and went out of her way to make sure the inspection process went smoothly. The inspector and attorney she recommended were also spot on, and they all formed a great team that had our back during every step. She was patient, kind, and we look forward to keeping in touch with her! We'd highly recommend her to any of our friends and family who may be looking for property in the Catskills.

Fantastic experience: I have sold 3 houses with Peggy at Catskill Dream Team. Peggy and her team go above and beyond. From staging to clean up and a complementary moving truck. Peggy has a good understanding of the market and was able to sell all my properties within a few days and above ask. I really can’t say enough good things about this amazing real estate team.

Fantastic experience: There are not enough superlatives to describe Peggy Bellar of Catskill Dream Team as a real estate agent and as a person. She is professional, cares deeply about what she is doing, listens well to sellers and their needs and I am sure does the same for buyers. She is responsive, attentive, kind, energetic, positive, and calm. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home or land. Four times I listed property for sale with Peggy. Each time she found buyers, three times in a down market, and all in record time. I am very pleased indeed!

Fantastic experience: Empathetic, savvy, understanding, kind, smart, ebullient, astute — are some of the words used to describe myself. They also just so happen to be perfect descriptors for Peggy Bellar, one half of the Dream Team who have (to my understanding) helped to realize dreams and place keys into hands of those who view the Catskills as a special place. I engaged Peggy to sell my house one day in April 2022, and in a can-do spirit, she danced through the steps and then went above and beyond to make sure the process was smooth, seamless and most importantly given the economy, speedy. Thanks to the Dream Team, I get to carry on with my life and the new owners get to enjoy acres along with an outdoor hot tub while watching diligently for passing fawns. Thanks, Peggy. You're 1000% awesome.

Fantastic experience: Peggy Bellar, Catskill Dream Team, is the number one realtor to deal with in the Catskills, if you want to sell your home. We were second home owners in Andes for over 12 years. The process of listing and presenting our house for sale and Peggy's overall expertise, and communication and negotiating skills surpassed our expectations in every way. For example, Peggy spent time explaining to us the process of evaluating the various offers received and throughout the negotations that led to our acceptance of the final offer. She handled the interaction with the buyer with integrity and grace. It simply could not have gone better. At the end, Peggy even helped ensure that the final garbage removal and transfer of services to the new owners were a breeze. And she was in contact for any clarifications needed during the 'remote' closing process. We are very grateful to Peggy Bellar and highly recommend her and the Catskill Dream Team if you plan to sell a Catskill home.

Fantastic experience: I loved working with Catskill Dream Team. Peggy was an incredible agent to work with on the sale of my house, which had been in my family since the mid-90s. She made the process seamless and easy for me. I didn't know anything about how to sell a home: Peggy took the time to answer questions, offer expert counsel, explain next steps, and ensure that everything went smoothly. A huge thank you to Peggy and her team!

Fantastic experience: We finally decided to put our vacation home in the Catskills on the market. After many years of spending quiet weekends and vacations it was time to move on. Peggy, came in and made us feel comfortable about our decision. She held our hand through every step and eased our minds about all of the potential problems associated with selling your home. Peggy advised us about the current market as she has a keen sense of every home and the current market value. We ended up getting 35k over our asking price. Peggy and her team are consummate professionals.

Fantastic experience: I just sold my beloved house in the Catskills. Cricket and Peggy were fantastic..the best realtors ever!! They held my hand through this emotional process with great care, concern, expertise and professionalism. They staged the house beautifully with wonderful photos and write-up. They always kept me informed and were responsive to my questions. When we were in contract to sell, there was a problem with our oil tanks and furnace. Cricket volunteered to call the oil company and worked out a temporary solution and then dealt with them again the night before closing. And, when there was a question about getting the pre-closing documents notarized and sent overnight in time for the closing, Peggy offered to drive to me to pick them up. In all aspects, both Cricket and Peggy went above and beyond!!! If you want to sell a property, I would highly recommend the Catskill Dream Team!!!

Fantastic experience: We had an awesome experience with Judy Black from the Catskills Dream Team. We really have become friends through this process! Judy stuck it out with us for 2 years before we found our place. As far as real estates in the area go, CDT is a great place to start!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I just purchased a home through Peggy and couldn't have made a better choice! We were totally comfortable with her from the start because she's so easy to speak with and is so down to earth. She is extremely professional, patient, and very knowledgable. When we found our dream home, Peggy got things rolling immediately and was on top of everything! We highly recommend Peggy Bellar and will absolutely be referring friends and family to her in the future!
