The Garbutt + Dumas Real Estate Team
James Garbutt
Realtor®
I began my real estate career in 2008 and in 2017, co-founded The Garbutt + Dumas Real Estate Team with Denny Dumas. My expertise is rooted in an in-depth understanding of construction, knowledge of our cities and neighbourhoods, and staying updated with market trends. My approach emphasizes the importance of effective marketing, skilled negotiation, and a thorough market understanding for successful real estate transactions. Having invested in properties since I was 19, and with experience in building and renovating homes, I am passionate about real estate and committed to sharing my insights with clients. I aim to provide sellers with targeted marketing strategies and buyers with the knowledge to make informed decisions, ensuring the best outcomes for their real estate aspirations.
Raised in Burnaby and a resident of New Westminster for 15 years, I now live in North Vancouver with my wife Diana, our three children, two dogs, and a cat. My interests include coaching children’s soccer and exploring outdoor trails. I co-founded Steel & Oak Brewing Company in 2013 as a craft beer enthusiast. Prior to real estate, I managed a painting business while earning my Bachelor of Business Administration from Simon Fraser University, experiences that have enriched my skill set in serving my clients.
Passionate about our city, I bring a positive and enthusiastic attitude to my work, aiming to make your next real estate transaction both enjoyable and rewarding.
DENNY DUMAS
Realtor®
Co-Founder of The Garbutt + Dumas Real Estate Team, I bring over a decade of experience to assist you in your next purchase or sale. For me, real estate transcends transactions—it’s about making a positive impact on families and providing insightful education throughout the process. My dedication to fostering long-lasting relationships distinguishes my approach.
Raised in a competitive, athletic family with four older siblings, I embraced values like discipline, accountability, humility, confidence, and teamwork, largely through sports. My passion for basketball led me to an NCAA scholarship post-high school, laying the groundwork for skills that have proven invaluable in real estate. My work ethic, which I consider my superpower, combined with comprehensive industry knowledge gained from investing, renovating, and assisting over 1000 families, enables me to deliver an exceptional customer experience. I prioritize innovative marketing, educational resources, and transparent communication to ensure informed decisions and optimal outcomes for every client.
One of my favourite things about my career is the deep familiarity I’ve developed with the various cities, neighbourhoods, and amenities across the areas we serve, from the North Shore to Langley and Maple Ridge. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, upsizing, downsizing, or investing, I am here to guide you through your unique real estate journey.

My extensive background has honed my interpersonal and client care skills, ensuring that my clients feel supported and well taken care of throughout the entire process.
