Editorial assessment

What we love

  • Canberra's most decorated buyer's agent: REIACT Buyer's Agent of the Year every year 2020–2025, plus a Hall of Fame induction.

  • Fee-for-service and fixed — takes no commissions and states its income comes from clients only. Publishes its ACT licence number, which almost no agency does.

  • Will not take clients with overlapping briefs, which removes the quiet conflict of an agent bidding for two buyers on the same house.

Where it falls short

  • Canberra-only. Also declines search-only engagements — you take the full service or nothing.

Working with Claire from Capital Buyers Agency was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Her professionalism, expertise and dedication were evident from our very first conversation and continued throughout the entire process. Claire and Sarah took the time to truly understand our goals, provided clear and honest advice, and guided us every step of the way with confidence and care. Their market knowledge is outstanding, and they consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt informed, comfortable, and supported. The property reports and video walkthrough of homes were incredibly detailed and assisted us in our decision making immensely. What really sets Claire and Sarah apart is their genuine commitment to their clients. They were always available to answer questions, proactively kept us updated and handled every detail with exceptional attention and precision. Their negotiation skills, strategic thinking and tireless work ethic helped us achieve an outcome that exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a buyers agency team that is knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy and truly cares about delivering outstanding results, I cannot recommend Capital Buyers Agency enough. They are absolute professionals. Thank you both for your incredible support and dedication—we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! 🏡✨

We had an excellent experience working with Claire and Sarah from Capital Buyers Agency. As interstate buyers, we relied heavily on their expertise, and they exceeded expectations at every step. Their knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, and clear communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free despite the distance. They were proactive, responsive, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. We felt confident throughout the entire journey thanks to their guidance. Highly recommend their services to anyone!

I have worked with Claire and her team for many years, and they are without question our go-to buyers’ agents for clients purchasing in Canberra. Their depth of local market knowledge, experience, and unwavering client support is second to none. Claire brings a rare mix of warmth, strength, and approachability; a combination that makes her incredibly effective and highly trusted. She is well respected among her peers and trusted implicitly by both clients and industry professionals. Every client we refer to Claire feels supported, informed, and confident throughout the entire buying journey. If you’re looking for expert guidance, sharp market insight, and a team that truly has your back, Claire and her team are simply the best in the business.

Incredible experience from start to finish. They helped me pick a place, had incredible insight into the market and knowledge about the area. As a first home buyer kinda thrown into the deep end I felt thoroughly taken care of and they honestly saved me a lot of money through their negotiation skills and relationships within the real estate market. There's a reason why every real estate agent I met with knew and had only great things to say about Claire and Sarah from Capital Buyers Agency. Thank you so much for all your help!!

I don’t usually leave reviews but Claire and Sarah’s service is beyond deserving. After two years of failed attempts (five auctions and countless weekends and solicitors’ fees wasted), my partner and I were exhausted and completely ground down. Then Claire came in - well-informed, determined, reassuring and, above all, trustworthy. She was 100% on our side, from the first meeting to the time we left the property post-auction. Sarah is also knowledgeable, highly capable and has a lovely manner. She answered all our pre-engagement enquiries without hesitation, provided paperwork and follow ups. Nothing slips through the cracks. Throughout the process, Claire struck an amazing balance between strength, authority, diligence and kindness. We never felt rushed, even though she must have been pulling her hair out at all our questions and indecisiveness. Meetings were punctual, thorough and strategic. Pre-auction prep was somehow simultaneously detailed yet wide ranging, concise but not brief. Claire talked us through a variety of possible auction situations and how she would address those challenges. She is well-connected, knows the ins and outs of the Canberra property market and navigated game plans with ease. She knew what she was doing for us before she even stepped through the door. We ran a bit late to the auction but were able to do so because we knew Sarah and Claire had taken care of everything. We got waylaid as we were heading to the property and what would have been an unbearably high-pressure situation became just a funny hold up. We turned up as spectators and were able to relax both the night before and on the day. During the auction, Claire commanded the room without being intrusive. We strongly felt she guided the pace, knew all the tricks and evaded them. She is immune to manipulation. She was able to manoeuvre the situation to her (and our) advantage. We could see we were her top priority at all times and she was never cavalier with our money or our interests. In the post-auction blur, she continued to stay by our side, advocating for us through checking the contract, special conditions, bank transfer and signing. She was a buffer between us and the agents, calmly making sure everything was ticked off. Even the small but important details, like dictating account numbers, checking the transfer and sending the receipts to the agent, were taken care of. We didn’t have to think once and we can’t stress enough how valuable it was to have someone take over and guide us - almost like children - through a highly emotional process. If only we could engage Claire and Sarah for the every day; life would be a BREEZE. We 100% recommend them. Considering the price of property and the significant impact it has on your life, their service is absolutely worthwhile. Don’t think, just do it - they were the best decision we made.

Frequently asked questions

CompareMyAgents Editorial

The bottom line

Claire Corby offers something scarce in the ACT: a locally rooted, REBAA-accredited, buyers-only agency rather than a Sydney firm's satellite. A decade of Canberra-specific auction and government-lease nuance is the real product. Sole-operator scale applies — book ahead.
