Originally from Winnipeg, Kent has called Victoria home for over 30 years. Outside of real estate, he enjoys gourmet cooking, exploring Vancouver Island, and photographing its natural beauty.
With more than 25 years of construction and project management experience, Kent brings valuable insight to Greater Victoria's real estate market. His background includes working with leading residential developers and on notable commercial projects.
This experience gives Kent a keen eye for property conditions, construction quality, maintenance concerns, and renovation costs. Whether you're purchasing a condominium, family home, commercial property, or acreage, he helps you recognize potential issues, understand opportunities, and make informed decisions.
Combined with his knowledge of local neighbourhoods and market trends, Kent offers practical advice that goes well beyond buying and selling.
In 2025, Kent ranked among the top 5% of Coldwell Banker real estate professionals internationally, reflecting his commitment to professionalism and client service.
Buying your first home is exciting, but understanding financing, contracts, inspections, and property conditions can be challenging.
Kent believes first-time buyers deserve clear explanations, honest advice, and the opportunity to ask questions without feeling pressured.
His construction experience helps buyers look beyond attractive finishes to understand a property's condition, potential repair costs, and long-term suitability. He helps clients distinguish cosmetic concerns from issues requiring further professional investigation.
His goal is to help first-time buyers purchase a home they understand, can afford, and feel confident owning.

As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), Kent has additional training to help older adults and their families navigate housing decisions.
Whether downsizing, selling a longtime family home, moving closer to family, or considering retirement living, Kent understands these decisions involve both practical and emotional considerations.
His construction knowledge helps seniors evaluate maintenance needs, accessibility improvements, renovation costs, and whether their current home will continue to suit their lifestyle.
Kent also recognizes that moving isn't always the best choice. Sometimes staying in a familiar home, making modifications, or simply taking more time is the right decision.
