Realtor, Co-Owner

Denny Dumas

As the 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.

Monica Harmse

Driven by an unwavering work ethic and a competitive spirit, I’ve navigated a diverse path from playing Division 1 NCAA Soccer, then landed my dream job in Broadcast Journalism, moved to advertising, and then inevitably found my calling in real estate.

With a knack for negotiation and a talent for navigating even the most complex transactions seamlessly, I pride myself on being the realtor who gets things done. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills to become a master negotiator, consistently securing the best deals for my clients. Whether it’s mediating between buyers and sellers to find common ground or skillfully maneuvering through obstacles to ensure a smooth closing process, I thrive on the challenge of turning difficult transactions into success stories. My proactive approach, attention to detail, and ability to read between the lines enable me to anticipate issues before they arise, saving my clients time, money, and unnecessary stress. I’m proud to have sold almost 200 homes and counting!

As an immigrant to Canada, I cherish the vibrant community of the Tri-Cities alongside my husband Kevin and our daughter Thea.  When not helping clients find their dream homes, we’re often exploring the great outdoors with our beloved dog, Donna. We truly love where we live. We are always out and about in Port Moody!

Whether it’s finding the perfect home for a buyer or helping a family settle into a new chapter of their lives, my greatest fulfillment comes from knowing that I’ve played a part in making someone’s dream home a reality. Because ultimately, it’s not just about finding a place to live—it’s about loving where you live.
