“My partner and I were new to the Canberra property market and Tom's research and knowledge helped us develop a accurate idea of what the market is like in the area in which we were looking. We chose to make a pre-auction offer and, with Tom's input, felt confident that we were pitching it at the right level. Tom also enabled us to secure the services of a solicitor very quickly, which meant everything was in order and our offer was a strong one.”

“We engaged Tom Duffy to act as our Buyer's Agent while we were living overseas and preparing to return to Canberra. As we were not in the country we needed someone in Canberra to do all the hard work of locating a suitable property. We were extremely happy with the outstanding service provided by Tom.
With Tom's expert knowledge of the Canberra market he was able to give us sound, honest advice and help us to find our dream home. In comparison to the amount we saved due to Tom's negotiating skills we consider the fee minimal.
Tom has also been an excellent source of advice and has provided us with contacts for setting up our home in Canberra. We cannot praise Tom highly enough and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”
- Matt & Tammy Stafford
“Tom Duffy was a great help to me in finding the appropriate home in Canberra. I live in Western Australia and wanted to acquire an investment property in Canberra; however, the task was complicated by the fact that I anticipated an acquaintance with particular needs actually renting the property. Thus, there were complex criteria for finding the right house and some of those criteria conflicted. Tom was excellent in communicating the various values of a number of properties that he scouted out for me. He was also good about listening to my evaluations, contributing helpful comments, and helping me to make difficult decisions. I very much appreciate his patience. Upon finding a target property, his knowledge of the market facilitated the negotiation process. After his official duties were done, he continued to be helpful beyond the call of duty in arranging tasks that needed completion, guiding me through the purchase process, and providing insights that were useful to me in making decisions. In all aspects of the process, my life was made easier by Tom’s help.”

“If you buying property and are time poor or just unsure about the Canberra real estate market, do yourself a favour and hire Tom. Moving from interstate whilst juggling two demanding careers across separate states seemed a challenge too large to contemplate until our first meeting with Tom. Immediately he put our minds at rest as he thoughtfully explored our needs and expectations for a new home in Canberra. Tom quickly honed in on our individual style and preferences and delivered a great outcome for us in a matter of weeks. We could not have imagined a smoother or lower stress process. Tom did all the work including bidding at auction and settlement. His advice throughout was always accurate and balanced. To top it off Tom’s quiet and gentlemanly personality made every discussion and meeting a pleasure. We can recommend Tom Duffy without any reservation.”

“We had no idea how to start looking for a house to buy in Canberra whilst still living interstate. We had a short timeframe and a limited budget, but high expectations. Engaging Canberra Property Buyer Solutions was the smartest move we made. Tom soon worked out what we wanted and went to work. We would have wasted weeks searching in the wrong areas or being fooled by misleading advertisements on-line. When we chose the place we wanted, Tom did the bidding for us and saved us thousands. He even represented us at settlement. Thanks for your great work, Tom!”

“We can't recommend Tom enough. His 'inside' wisdom and extensive knowledge of the Canberra Property Market was exceptional. Through Tom, we actually found our fantastic first home - one that hadn't even been advertised! Without his network of real estate friends and inside knowledge of what is about to come on the market we would not have found this house. Tom was also able to provide us with a realistic knowledge of what Canberra houses were really worth according to their location, their size and their asking prices - this proved invaluable. His rates are very reasonable and so very worth it when we reflect upon how stressful the whole home-buying process would have been without his skills, knowledge and assistance. It should be mentioned that also that Tom provided us with all these services whilst we were living overseas!!”
- Scott and Jacki McPherson
“My wife and I were living overseas and engaged Tom's services to find a property to our specification. He did it quickly, efficiently and negotiated a competitive price. Results are what you want, but how its managed can make all the difference. When you state your preferances, Tom will support them whether you want to be fully involved or hands off. Where many in service industries claim integrity, we found Tom to be both genuine and caring. We would not hesitate to engage Tom in the future.”
- Craig & Karen Walker
“I had just moved to Canberra and needed to find a new home. Tom from Canberra Property Buyer Solutions was essential in finding our new home. With work and interstate commitments, I had no time to spend looking for properties around Canberra. Tom met me and worked out what my needs were and then I didn't have to worry again. Tom found a range of properties, inspected them, and advised on their suitability. Tom helped us negotiate a price and then even helped negotiate a very short settlement time so we could be in our new home before Christmas. We now have a home that suits us well - with very little trouble on our part. My thanks to Tom.”
- Ann and Tony Smith
“I had been looking for years! Rather than procrastinating, Tom got moving quickly. He was faster than me, and didn't take long. Instead, he got me moving in the right direction. Tom was hospitable in our meetings at his house. His manner was businesslike and compassionate. And he knew people to contact. Tom tried to achieve my demanding wish-list. Surprisingly, he did! He offered choices. And he found me a garden. I'd hardly thought of going out to Gungahlin!”
- Bryan in Franklin
“We approached Canberra Property Solutions to assist us in purchasing a house in Canberra while living interstate. Tom Duffy guided us through every step of the process and ensured buying our first home was a lot less daunting. No question was too silly for Tom! We are now living in the home Tom found for our family. We are so grateful for Tom’s persistence in finding the home that met our needs..”

“Searching for an investment property/new home in a city one is not very familiar with on the internet seems easy these days, but without the sound advice from Tom I may have made mistakes. His knowledge about the area and the current market was extremely helpful - will definitely use his service again!”
- Madelaine from Mt Tamborine
“Hi Tom
Thank you very much for your help in getting this property. We are delighted with the result and most impressed with your expertise in bidding at auction on our behalf.
The home is ideal and the final price much better than we expected.
Once again - thanks”
