Kent’s focus on property data and analytics started in 1999 working in lenders mortgage insurance. While heading up the valuation services team he studied statistics and trained with industry experts in the United States and Canada.
These skills helped him design the PriceFinder platform where Kent was one of the original company founders. With the sale of Pricefinder to the Domain Group, Kent took a lead role at CoreLogic, heading up the analytics team and products for the banking sector. This included the design and roll-out of various risk products for valuers and banks. The CoreLogic opportunity extended to China, where he developed an automated valuation model for the largest bank in the world, ICBC.
His focus today is Suburbtrends. Kent’s reports are published on a regular basis by leading media outlets and the suburb map product used by more than 5,000 investors and professionals.
