We met James by chance at an open house many years back and he quickly became our realtor and friend. He is very easy to work with, and really understands the local markets. The growth in his business since we met him is testament to his dedication and he now has a solid team working with him to meet the demand, still with the same high customer-focused quality.
Love this group. I've bought and sold a condo with them and they are the epitome of class and professionalism. They also make the experience pretty fun!!
James sold our house in a few days when another realtor couldn't sell it in six weeks! He and is team are fantastic! Easy to deal with; funny, but hard working and serious when it comes down to business.
We used Denny to purchase our first condo two years ago, and the experience he gave us was fantastic. He gave us great advice and we ended up with exactly what we wanted. This year we upgraded to a townhouse and Denny and Lucas made the experience just as easy and exciting as the first time. We sold our condo quickly in a slower time, and we had our offer accepted on our townhouse over a stronger one because they wrote a personalized letter attached to our offer telling the seller about us. First class all the way!
We were lucky enough to deal with both Denny Dumas and Lucas McCann. We had a mobile home to sell in a co-op, so not a huge sale compared to what is out there now. But both Denny and Lucas gave us the best service we could have imagined. They did their research and helped us through every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Denny and Lucas.
James and Denny thanks for giving us everything we could have asked for in a realtor. Throughout the sale of our home and the purchase of our condo you were so amazingly professional and personable. We were so comfortable and thankful for both of you. We would highly recommend you to anyone at anytime for a sale or purchase and value our new found friendship.
I absolutely adored my first time home purchasing experience with Adam Senuik. He guided me with patience, honesty, and acted as an ideal sounding board to my endless questions. Despite heightened Covid related parameters, we were able to safely view listings during the past few months; he always organized viewings efficiently so I was able to devote a block of hours and get a lot accomplished. From Kits to NV, his efforts and professionalism culminated in securing my dream condo on the shores of the true North. It hit all my "must haves" - bike path, quiet, windows, bright kitchen, new, in-suite laundry, peekaboo mountain views, access to local grocers; I can't wait to join the strata board and solidify Vancouver as my home. GO, ADAM!!!!
James is an outstanding human that gives his time & attention whole heartedly! His energy is contagious & he is truly a knowledgeable, forward thinking Realtor!
Too keep it short and simple, I highly recommend James & the team. I have personally worked with James, Shawn, and Monica. They all go above and beyond in every aspect of sale, purchase, and planning for future investment. I'm grateful to have worked with such an outstanding team.
We have dealt with a few realtors over the years and we have found Denny Dumas to be the best by far and we are so glad we called him up and gave him our listing and he sold it within 2 weeks and delivered what he promised. We highly recommend Denny. Thank you Denny. You guys are an awesome team ! Gus and Shadi Koros.
Adam helped us buy our first condo. He was excellent, and very insightful. Would definitely work with him again.
Denny and his team were extremely helpful both in purchasing and simultaneously selling a property - both in a very tight time frame and in a tough market. He was extremely responsive, shared great advice and always had our best interests in mind. We'd be extremely happy to use him again and gladly recommend to others.
I recently bought a condo on the island thanks to Lucas and his optimism!! It ended up not being an easy property to purchase, and I had a few people (other realtors) tell me that I would never get it. I found that even after referring me to a local agent to make the offer, Lucas was supportive, was available to answer all of my questions, get back to me, translate the terms of my counter offer and subjects, and give me information that I was thinking about asking. I would 100% work with him again, and recommend him to anyone who is a first time buyer and especially if your used to today’s fast paced communication and like to know what’s going on. I don’t think that I would own this place today if he hadn’t gone for it for me!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Garbutt + Dumas and will sing their praises from now until the end of time. Denny & Monica were incredible in helping us purchase our first home. My partner and I have very opposite personalities and they were able to give us information in a way that kept both of us happy! The information they shared was helpful and we felt fully informed every step of the way, which as first time home buyers was crucial for us. We bought a new build, and Monica was so helpful in dealing with the developer and being a relentless advocate for us over a very long 7+ month period, never taking her foot off the gas (during a huge real estate boom!). Seriously, stop looking and work with these superhumans - you won't regret it.
Both my Mom and I used James to buy/sell our homes in Burnaby/New Westminster. Our experience with James has been nothing other than absolutely delightful. His sheer knowledge of the region is incredibly impressive, it turned the task of finding the right 1st condo to a feasible one . He is the type of real estate agent that will never give up on your quest, it took me nearly 1.5 years and probably about 50 viewings to find the right condo for me. The entire time James never gave up on me, in fact when the condo I was looking for was just about to come up in the time period I needed for financing to go through (6 months prior to completion) he phoned me up and let me know it was still available. With my mom he sold her house in Burnaby for well over asking price and negotiated well for her new purchase in Langley. I would recommend anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Lower Mainland to use James Garbutt.
I had the pleasure of working with Denny Dumas and his team this past year. They were all very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend them!
When my family outgrew the very small cottage we were living in, James Garbutt helped us transition to our next home. The cottage was small enough that it was a tough sell, but he got it done. In finding the new home, we really valued that James took the time to get to know us and could make some suggestions about neighbourhoods and home features that we hadn't considered. He really treated us as friends, as much as clients. We are very happy with our new home and the service provided by James.
My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Adam and Denny to find our first home. We'd worked with a few realtors before we found these guys and I was immediately struck by their genuine, low-key vibe. We never felt pressure and always felt we could trust their advice. They even guided us away from an overpriced property early on! In the end, after 6 months of looking we found the perfect home for us. We would definitely recommend Adam and Denny to anyone looking to make a home purchase.
James and Denny were very professional, great to work with and honest.
James and Lucas from the team helped our family sell our condo and buy a house in New West this year. They provided exceptionally professional service before, during and even after the sales. I highly recommend G+D and would work with them again anytime!
getting spam letter from Shawn Kambo ---------- I totally understand that work and help seller. Put it in people's mailbox not in their door or in front of the door. That's what's mailbox are for.
We're so grateful for the time and effort that James spent helping us find our perfect home. The Vancouver real estate market is quite daunting for first time home buyers, however James took the time to educate us on our options to ensure we were making a well-informed decision that met our immediate needs and was sensible long-term. We're looking forward to working with James and his growing team in the near future.
I am the co-founder of our real estate team. We look forward with you on your next real estate purchase or sale and would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Call us today!
We had the pleasure of working with Adam to purchase our first condo. We started talking with him months before we were even ready to seriously look at properties, let alone make an offer but even then he was at our service - always willing to meet up and chat or address any questions we had over email or text. When we were ready to seriously look he was awesome about setting realistic expectations and being very thorough with what we were looking for. He took feedback on what we liked and didn’t well and adjusted accordingly. He completely supported us when we wanted to move quickly on the condo we ended up buying. Through the whole process we felt like we had expert support and guidance and we can’t recommend Adam enough.
I've had the opportunity to work with James and Denny and in my experiences they have demonstrated themselves to be professional, knowledgable and easily accessible in assisting clients. I was so impressed with them, that I have referred my family members to them in the past. Great guys!
I had the chance to sit down with James Garbutt last week to share ideas about how we can grow both in our businesses and personally. I was thoroughly impressed by James' humility and openness. Too often people expect Realtors to treat each other as competitors, but James' approach was clearly more that of a colleague and collaborator. Grateful to have people like him in our industry.
Thanks, James, for your training and support that you provide for a class full of realtors. I appreciate the realtor experience that you achieved and shared with us by working so hard from 2008.
My husband and I are big fans of the whole team - James, Denny, Rosa and friends are responsive, friendly, knowledgable and really care about their clients. We refer all of our friends and family because we fully trust them to do a great job. Best realtors in town!
We were very happy with James, Denny and their team as we worked through a purchase with them last year. I would highly recommend them to either buy or sell a home.
James helped us buy our first home - he made the normally stressful and frustrating experience so much easier. Not only did he listen to our nit picking details of what we were looking for, he took the time to not rush us into anything and allowed us to find the perfect first home!
If you're looking for a team that you can trust and that will go the extra mile for you, the Garbutt and Dumas team is it! We have been working with Jakub King over the past 4 months to buy our detached home and through every step of the process, Jakub has been incredible! He has been the most reliable, trustworthy person whom we have worked with in real estate. We felt as though Jakub always had our best interests in mind and he listened to our concerns, wants and needs in all aspects of the home buying process. He made himself available whenever we had questions or concerns and if he couldn't get us an answer immediately, he would look into it further and ensure he followed up with us. After seeing a few houses with him, we really felt as though we could place our full trust in him and truly valued his opinion. It really felt as though he put himself in our shoes and went to work as if he were making the purchase himself. He would walk through homes and evaluate it himself and share the things he noticed about it, both good and bad. Each time we interacted with him, whether it was looking at home, discussing offers, inquiring about home renovations, removing subjects, or finalizing the purchase, or the many questions and advice we asked of him, he always gave us his full attention and made us feel important and valued. We are impressed with his professionalism, level-headed approach and the time he dedicated to help us make this huge decision. We feel so lucky and grateful that we had the opportunity to work with Jakub King and the Garbutt Dumas team. It was clear that when working with one agent, you really had the support of the whole team. Thank you!
We worked with Denny, James, and Rosa to sell our townhouse last spring. They were great to work with-knowledgeable, responsive, and overall very nice and fun people. The whole selling process went much more smoothly than expected and we received multiple above asking offers after the open house. We highly recommend them!
James garbutt is nice kind patient and is really good at selling your house,apartment ect.
James Garbutt is an incredible realtor and professional. He has helped me on multiple occasions and family members as well. Anyone who is looking to get into the market or get the most out of their current place I recommend giving Garbutt Dumas a call.
It was a pleasure working with James and his team. Knowledgeable, courteous and easy to work with. Wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again when the time comes.
When James helped us getting our current home, there were multiple offers went in, and we didn't think we would get this house. With his personable touch, instead of faxing the offer, he went to present the offer in person and sold them why we deserved the house. We are grateful for his dedication, and simply he does care.
James and his team are truly terrific to work with, they look out for their clients best interests. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We have used James multiple times for buying and selling our homes. They made the process as easy and stress free as possible. He's earned our trust! Superb realtors!
James and his team did a great job listening to my criteria and putting together an effective plan of action to meet my goal. They really put your satisfaction as number one priority. I never felt pressured in any way.
James and his team were great to work with when we bought our home! James was very patient and a good sense of humour. I continue to recommend James and Denny if someone is looking for a realtor!
James is an amazing realtor. Easy to speak to, honest and most importantly he cares! His number 1 priority is finding the perfect home for you. I highly recommend!
We were so impressed by James, Denny and their whole team. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Very professional and one stop service from Shawn and James and the whole team! They will honestly answer all you questions and also handle all your request if possible. I also like the fact that they have everything electronic and all the documents could be signed off via e-documents. That saves a lot of time and effort as there are a lot of sign offs when you purchase and sales agreement.
Jakub was an amazing, patient and friendly realtor. We bought our first home with no pressure. He showed us exactly what we wanted, and was very easy to get along with. He made me feel like we were best friends trying to find a house together. He also went out of his way to make sure our new house was exactly the way we wanted it to be. We will definitely be using him again for our next purchase!
Jason Mitchell We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jason when selling and buying homes. He was extremely helpful, very knowledgeable about the market , and a skilled negotiator. He kept our best interest in mind at all times, understood our needs and helped us find the perfect house for our family. Jason was always available to answer any questions and strived to make the whole process as smooth as possible. The best realtor we have ever dealt with. Very professional, experienced, amazing client service skills. Highly recommend! Jesse and Marisha Hopkins
Lucas McCann at Garbutt & Dumas makes sure your every need and concern is taken care of when buying/or selling your home. He made me feel comfortable, and was very patient with me and made sure i found the right place for the right price. In the end i got exactly what i wanted and it all had to do with his determination to make sure i was happy. I've recommended him to many friends and colleagues, and all have had similar results. He is the first and only real estate agent i will choose to work with for any future endeavors.
James and Denny have been helping us in buying and selling our homes for many years now. Most recently they helped us buy a house we absolutely love. They have always been professional, knowledgeable and most importantly honest with us. The service they provide is most definitely over the top!
James and his team are fantastic! They know the market intimately and give solid, sound advice. James is great for helping to narrow down your search for a home and providing early notice of new homes coming to the market. My past experiences with James have been extremely positive for both buying and selling - best realtor out there in the lower mainland!
Excellent service, very professional, always helpful, we had a great experience!
Jakub King is a fantastic representative. Jakub is professional, attentive to detail, conscientious, and loyal. In every interaction he is an intelligent and kind voice.
We received excellent service from the team who sold our place within three days of listing at top market price. Without hesitation will continue to use them for all of our future real estate needs.
I was prepared for the process of buying our first home to be nerve-wracking. Of course it was stressful ( how could it not be) but I know for certain that having Lucas on our side made it much less so. He listened to what we wanted and very deftly steered us to the perfect place. I particularly appreciated his directness and patience dealing with a first time buyer family. His attention to detail (even writing a personal letter to the seller) set us apart from other buyers. I’ve literally never written a google review before but I felt I had to in this case. If you are like we were and are searching for a realtor to get you into your first home go with Lucas.
Jakub was incredibly helpful! He was very patient with us, and took the time to understand our needs, and our situation, and provide us with options and potential solutions. He was always available to reply to a text or a call on weekends, evenings, and even over the holidays. He worked around our schedule and didn’t mind meeting with my family and I after working hours only to make it more comfortable for us. His advice was always relevant and sincere, and never once did we feel the slightest pressure. We definitely felt taken care of, not only by him, but also his partner Shawn - who was also just as helpful! With their help we were able to sell our place, and also find and purchase a home we love and now live in! Thanks for all your help guys! Viviana, Sonia, Gio and Bruno :)
Denny and Shawn did excellent work selling our two houses. These are difficult times for sellers with all the newly minted government fees and regulations. They had the connections, professionalism and understanding of the market conditions to successfully get us through the process. They understood our situation and were easy to work with. Most important they are realtors you can trust. We strongly recommend GD to anyone in the market and have already done so to friends and neighbours.
James is everything you want a realtor to be: friendly, reliable, knowledgeable and not pushy. He went above & beyond and we highly recommend him to anyone, especially to those looking to make their first home purchase. If you're luck, you'll get to sample his delicious beer at Steel & Oak brewery.
TLDR; they sold our house for top dollar, just hire them and you won’t be disappointed. James and his team are nothing short of fantastic. Our family has lived in New West for a long time and we have watched as the Garbut & Dumas brand has grown and grown. When it came time to list our Glenbrook North house we interviewed half a dozen of the better known names in the area. After an exhaustive process that evaluated customer service, marketing plan, commission level and “hustle” we landed with James and Denny (note: in the hustle category no one even came close to James). Once we signed the deal, James presented us with a very nuanced marketing plan that included a number of contingency options. The entire process, from start to final conditions being removed, took about 3 months. This included photos, scans, staging, 4-5 open houses, and a planned 1 month delisting followed by a brief relisting. Ultimately James was able to generate a multiple offer situation that produced an exceptionally good result for our family. All in all we couldn’t be happier with how things played out. The Garbut & Dumas team produced a great result in a softening market. If you want to get top dollar for your property I see no reason that you should not at least give James and Denny a shot.
Lucas was extremely helpful in the beginning when we asked a lot of him. He is always quick to respond with any questions we may have. He is extremely professional and yet makes you feel very comfortable. We look forward to working with him for a long time.
Adam Senuik helped me purchase my first condo in New West. He was always extremely friendly, immensely helpful and responded to all my questions in a very timely manner. I couldn't believe how easy the whole condo buying process was and Adam was certainly instrumental in that. I would highly recommend Adam and the G+D team.
“We recently had the pleasure of listing our two condominiums in Pitt Meadows with Monica Harmse and Denny Dumas of Garbutt and Dumas Real Estate Team. The experience could not have been better. I’ve been in the real estate industry for over thirty years, through which time I’ve been in commercial, project marketing and development. During that span of time I’ve met the good, not so good and those that excel in the real estate profession. Monica and Denny and the team at Garbutt and Dumas are clearly devoted to the profession and it showed in an extremely smooth and stress less transaction while maximizing our selling price. I wouldn’t hesitate to use the team again or recommend them to friends. Nick and Gina Askew, Pacesetter Group of Companies
James and his team have helped us sell my wife's condo, purchase our family home, and purchase our investment property. He has earned our business and we have the utmost confidence in him.
Lucas is very well informed about what the housing market is doing and will expertly guide you through the steps of buying and/or selling your property. He made the process very easy for me from beginning to end, and I couldn't be happier with my new home. He will definitely be my first call when I decide to make my next venture into the market.
Both James and Denny and their crew were wonderful to deal with. It had been over 30 years since we bought our last house and the market is so different now. They took charge, answered all our questions, and guided us through the process. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to sell or buy a house. You will be in great hands!!!
Monica helped our little family pick up our perfect first home and we can't thank her enough. The guys at Garbutt Dumas were awesome from my first inquiry to the handover of keys. Monica was so patient, helpful and never made it seem like we were causing her too much hassle (even though we probably were!) with viewings, random questions etc. Her knowledge of the area was great and helped us swoop in for a great deal! Will definitely recommend her and the team to any friends looking to buy or sell. Thanks again from myself, Lisa, Aodhán and Buddy! ????
James, Denny & their amazing team have been outstanding to work with. We've built a great relationship with them through the last few years and have recommended them to no less than five other couples who have been looking to either buy or sell. With every new recommendation we've given them, they've treated our friends like long time clients and have helped make the process of buying or selling a little less stressful.
We at Martin Kastelein Notary Public are always pleased to assist the well informed clients of James and Denny who are also ably assisted by Rosa. She is also very helpful to our notary office when we need information or assistance from her.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Adam Senuik to help us find a new home in Vancouver. He was patient, knowledgeable and completely professional at all times. He had a great idea of what we were looking for, and helped us find a beautiful condo in our dream location in the “West End”. Adam was always a pleasure do be with during our process; any prospective buyer or seller would be very fortunate to work with him!
I’ve known Denny for quite some time and he’s always one call away with great service and advice. I recommend Dumas Garbutt for anyone in the market for a home !
Denny and Lucas were fantastic. Very knowledgeable and great communicating with us every step of the way. They do a great job at showcasing your home with their professional pictures and social media. We are very happy with how everything finished and can't thank them enough. You won't regret going with these guys.
Worked with Denny and Lucas. We were first time sellers and they made the process incredibly easy. They guided us through every step; thoroughly explaining everything and answering any questions we had. Selling & purchasing can be such a whirlwind but they made sure we understood what was going on and that we were comfortable throughout the entire process. They tick every box: Honest, knowledgeable, quick to respond, attentive to details and very strong people skills. We recommend them.
I contacted these realtors to sell my home, the following is a recounting of why I would never hire them: 1. The realtor showed up in shorts and a T-shirt. 2. Their marketing package had my husbands name wrong, the address of our apartment wrong, and there were spelling mistakes in the document 3. Upon telling the realtor why I would not hire them he made excuses for those things happening 4. I noticed on their website that many of their pictures had Steel & Oak growlers in them (a local brewery). It turns out that James Garbutt is a 50% owner of Steel and Oak. So while I may have forgiven a guy showing in shorts on a hot day, all of these things combined paint a picture of unprofessional behavior, incompetence, and a lack of ethics. Honestly, would you want to pay someone a real estate commission so that they could advertise their other business, have them run your open house looking like they just came from the gym, have the deal fall through because there was errors in the contract, and then have them make excuses for the whole thing? We went with a different realtor. If you care about your investment, I recommend you do too.
The reviews speak for themselves.
James was awesome to deal with, very helpful and easy going. Denny and the rest of the team were also excellent to work with, they did an excellent job selling our condo and finding us our home.
Adam and Denny helped me find the perfect home for my children, my animals, and myself! They were incredibly gracious and patient and I'm profoundly grateful for their care and diligence. I would recommend them to anyone buying or selling their property under any circumstances.
Lucas and his team were outstanding. I will spare the details of the stresses that went along during/with the sale of my home, but i will say this. AMAZING customer care and service. Lucas. You went above and beyond to help make this sale happen, and smoothed out the bumps along the way. i am forever grateful and look forward to your services in the future. Forever grateful! 100% i would recommend Lucas and his team Claudia
James is the man! Really helpful, and rey patient and he knows his stuff. I would recommend James to anyone looking to buy a property.
James and Monica helped us sell our condo in Burnaby this past summer. They were both very attentive, professional and honest with us throughout the process. James also went above and beyond to help us on the buy side even though we were working with another realtor at the time (family), he continued to check in with us and offer advice when asked. I would recommend G+D to anyone looking to sell their home and we would definitely work with them again in the future.
Adam and his team were absolutely fantastic! The sale of my place could not have gone better. Adam is calm, professional and will take the time to explain things in a way that suits you. I cannot recommend Adam and his team more; they did a great job! I would not hesitate in using their services again!
This is a long overdue review for an exceptional experience with this real estate team. My partner and I are first-time home buyers and after some initial research (reading many positive reviews), reached out to this team for help & guidance. There was a suite for sale in our apartment complex that checked a lot of our boxes and we needed someone as serious & committed as we were on this opportunity. We worked with Denny from start to finish and he provided a partnership & service at a gold standard level. Going into this process, we really didn’t know what to expect – Denny provided the details & understanding which allowed us to learn over time and feel confident that we had the right agent to help us through our home buying journey. Denny’s relentless commitment to excellence and making us feel comfortable with these life changing decisions was present in all communications. Working with Denny during those 4 months was an absolute delight - we can’t think of anyone else who we would have wanted to be on this journey with. This is truly a 5 star experience team! If you are a first-time home buyer or even if you have the experience – look no further than the Garbutt + Dumas Real Estate Team! Thank you, Denny, for all your hard work and helping us achieve this life milestone!
I highly recommend this team. My realtor, Jakub, did a great job for me. He kept in touch, explained everything clearly, gave me feedback on open houses, and was completely professional in appearance and demeanor. Thanks to his expertise, I sold for more than my asking price. With their talented photographer, use of social media and polished presentation, my home looked its best and sold very quickly with a minimum of inconvenience to me. I wouldn't look anywhere else for a realtor.
I'm proud to be an assistant for the team! From answering all of your questions, to handling our marketing and paperwork, I'm always happy to help. If you're thinking of buying or selling, please don't hesitate to give us a call!
Thanks to Shawn, Lucas and James, we were able to sell our home and purchase a new home all within a short time frame. Everyone was super professional, knowledgeable and made the process smooth and efficient. We are extremely happy with the result and glad to have found friends we can trust.
My partner and I recently worked with Jakub King and the Garbutt + Dumas team on both a sale and a purchase. Jakub and the team did a great job marketing and showing our property. The photographer they work with is a professional and we were very impressed with the quality of his work. The process of getting our place listed and arranging open houses was smooth and efficient. We chose a very busy and competitive time of year to purchase, and Jakub made time to view as many showings and open houses with us as possible and remained upbeat and positive through the process. We have already recommended his services to friends and would gladly do so again.
My experience with Adam and the G+D team was fantastic. From selling my downtown New West apartment to buying my house in Sapperton, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend them!
