For over 20 years Trevor Kent (or Big T as he is sometimes known) has been the voice and face of the British housing market on television, radio, and in the press.  He has notched up a staggering number of appearances and his press quotes run to thousands.  He is, undoubtedly, one of Britain's best known estate agency commentators and a celebrated "guru" in his field.  

Initially he was the spokesman for, and subsequently President of the UK estate agency industry's  body, the National Association of Estate Agents.  Over the ensuing years his massive frame, good humoured clear presentation and a willingness to accept criticism has led to invitations to appear on virtually every news and current affairs programme.  

Appearances range from Newsnight at one end to Richard & Judy at the other with hundreds in between, making him Britain's best known property pundit.

Comment is not confined to serious interest rate and house prices work or his high profile opposition to the government's ridiculous introduction of Home Information Packs - he is just as much at home with lighter home-improvement issues and live phone-ins.  He deals with a variety of property market topics in an interesting, accurate and sometimes humorous fashion.

As an auctioneer Trevor holds a TV world first in conjunction with The Big Breakfast on Channel 4, when he masterminded and successfully auctioned a studio guest's home on a live outside broadcast.  At the beginning of the broadcast the guest (whose home was already on the market conventionally) was asked live ' do you want to auction it today? ', he said yes, so the pre-arranged plans swung into action and Trevor auctioned it live an hour and a half later!  

Gazumping, and, more latterly, gazundering are topics he regularly addresses, as are the homes of the rich and famous together with wacky and weird properties.  It seems that the roller coaster house prices saga, however, is never to be supplanted as his most visited topic.  Recent regular series have been primarily for BBC Radio 2.  He firstly assisted Steve Wright in the Afternoon to glance with humour at the property scene and was subsequently poached by The Jeremy Vine Show for a number of hour long and sometimes quite tricky phone-ins for his Friday Your Money & Your Life slot!  He can also be heard regularly on IRN News broadcasts and Sky Radio News.  

To ring the changes Trevor has also written on travel for the Daily and Sunday Express, the Press Association and a number of magazines together with a regular Friday column in estate agency's premier Emagazine - EstateAgentToday.
