Dave Umphress
Owner + Broker
Dave accidentally found himself in real estate in 2012 after working as a teacher and in the non-profit sector. After finding quick success in his first year that earned him the "Rookie of the Year" award, his non-profit background lead to a strong desire to create a real estate business motivated by a "big why" that would change the world and rally clients. In late 2013, The Umphress Group (eventually Flourish) was born, with a strategy partnership with an organization doing water, sanitation/hygiene and HIV/AIDS work in sub-Saharan Africa. A unique partnership began, where a local community in Colorado essentially adopted communities in Africa, journeying with them for years through transformation and health. Fast forward 10 years later, the Umphress Group has morphed in to The Flourish Real Estate Network, a group of agents, teams and brokerages around Colorado committed to issues limiting human flourishing, which still includes the same work in sub-Saharan Africa (originally in Mozambique, then in Ethiopia, and now in Kenya). The network is motivated by our internal 501c3, Flourish Alliance, which partners with organizations committed to these same causes, and empowers them through our time, talent and treasure. While everything that we do is motivated by a huge "why", it all starts with real estate sales, and we're committed to being the absolute best real estate professionals in town, for the sake of our partners both locally and internationally. To flourishing!!
