Capital Buyers Agency

Canberra’s most awarded buyer’s agent

The gap between a good property purchase and a great one often comes down to knowledge that only comes from years of experience in the market. Capital Buyers Agency has been doing exactly that since 2014, and the results speak for themselves.

Founded by Claire Corby, a born-and-bred Canberran who swapped a career in accounting for property in 2014, the agency has accumulated an impressive run of industry recognition, including consecutive REIACT Awards for Excellence across 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, as well as national REB Awards. It is, by any measure, one of Canberra’s most decorated buyer’s agencies.

What they do

Capital Buyers Agency works exclusively on behalf of buyers, with no conflicts of interest from selling commissions or referral arrangements. Services cover three distinct needs: a full search service for buyers who want the agency to scour the entire market and present a thoroughly analysed shortlist; an evaluate and negotiate service for buyers who have already found a property and need expert due diligence and negotiation support; and an auction advisory service for buyers facing the pressure of competitive bidding.

Auction strategy is a particular strength. Claire’s background in pricing analysis and her calm, strategic approach under pressure have delivered strong outcomes for clients in one of Canberra’s most common and stressful buying scenarios.

The team

Claire brings deep knowledge of Canberra’s sub-markets and micro-markets, school catchments, gentrifying pockets and investment fundamentals, drawn from both her professional work and her personal experience as a property investor across renovations, development and subdivision. She is a current REIACT Board Director and ACT State Representative for REBAA.

Supporting the operation is Sarah King, who won the REIACT Operational Support Person of the Year award in 2024 and the national REIA equivalent in 2025. Sarah is the client’s first point of contact and stays involved throughout the purchase process, with a sharp eye for the details that matter during property inspections.

For Canberra buyers near and far

Capital Buyers Agency works with both local buyers and those purchasing remotely from interstate or overseas. The agency’s knowledge of what to look for on the ground is particularly valuable for buyers who cannot inspect properties themselves and need someone they can trust to assess accurately on their behalf.
