From accountant to award-winning property advocate, Claire Corby has built a career helping buyers take the uncertainty out of purchasing. This is a sponsored post.

Canberra buyer’s advocate Claire Corby has again been recognised among the ACT property industry’s leading professionals, winning Buyer’s Agent of the Year at the 2026 REIACT Awards for Excellence.

The award adds to an impressive record for the founder of Capital Buyers Agency, who was inducted into the REIACT Hall of Fame in 2023 following three consecutive ACT Buyer’s Agent of the Year titles. She was also named Australian Buyer’s Agent of the Year at the 2021 REIA National Awards for Excellence.

A third-generation Canberran, Claire founded Capital Buyers Agency in 2014 after moving from accounting into property. Her combination of analytical expertise, investment experience and detailed local knowledge helps buyers navigate Canberra’s many suburbs and micro-markets with confidence.

Capital Buyers Agency works exclusively for purchasers, assisting with full property searches, off-market opportunities, due diligence, pricing, negotiation and auction bidding. The Griffith-based boutique agency supports local buyers, investors, families relocating to Canberra and clients purchasing from interstate or overseas.

Claire’s approach centres on removing emotion and uncertainty from what can be one of life’s largest financial decisions. Her detailed understanding of school catchments, neighbourhood characteristics, emerging areas and investment locations helps clients identify properties suited to both their immediate needs and longer-term plans.

She has previously described the buyer’s agent’s role as helping people reach a purchasing decision with confidence, knowing they have a trusted adviser representing them throughout negotiations.

Capital Buyers Agency’s success has also been recognised at agency level. It won the 2025 REIACT Small Agency of the Year award, while team member Sarah King received the national Operational Support Award in 2025.

The latest honour reinforces Claire’s standing as a highly trusted local advocate and recognises Capital Buyers Agency’s commitment to informed advice, careful due diligence and strong client representation in the Canberra property market.

Claire’s commitment to buyers is also reflected in Capital Buyers Agency’s outstanding Google reviews, which illustrate the results and approach she is
renown for.
