About Denny:
"My professional career began working in bars and restaurants. Looking back, these 5 years were pivotal to my development in business. It’s fascinating how adaptive and patient you learn to become when serving food and beverages to all types of people. After a couple life altering events, I decided it was time to take the leap into Real Estate in 2014. I had always been very interested in real estate, architecture, and how cities evolve and grow with development. I was given a fantastic opportunity to team up with one of Greater Vancouver’s best agents, and I knew I would do everything I could to take advantage of that opportunity. The first year was an eye opening struggle, but I learned so much about who I am and how persistent I could be. I helped grow the business from $30Million in sales in 2014 to over $525Million in sales in the last 5 years (2016-2020), and am now a Partner in the Garbutt + Dumas Real Estate Team which is in the top 1% of Real Estate Teams in Greater Vancouver. Real Estate, both selling and investing in it, is a huge passion of mine!
Outside of real estate I love to keep active. Fitness has become extremely important in my life. Activities vary through the seasons but include: running, working out, golf, hiking, snowboarding. I have fallen in love with the podcast platform and now host 3 podcasts: The Denny Dumas Podcast, The Garbutt + Dumas Real Estate Podcast, and The Seahawks Social Podcast. I love sharing my experiences both personally and professionally and that has been a really big motivator of mine over the past few years. I am constantly looking to grow and improve, and being a support for the growth of others has been very rewarding"
