About Us
Meet Ben Power, lead Deal buyers agent. Ben has over a decade of experience helping Canberra locals navigate life's big property transitions - from first homes to family homes, and everything in between. He understands that upgrading or upsizing homes isn't just a financial decision, it's a life-changing one.
Our Proven Steps
One.
Upgrade Strategy & Timing
The right suburb, the right size block or apartment, the right school zone. We help you think through the buy-first versus sell-first question, assess your budget including equity from your current home, and build a clear acquisition strategy.
Two.
Property Search & Shortlist
We search across Canberra's best and upcoming suburbs to identify properties that genuinely meet your criteria - not just on paper, but for the way your family actually lives. This includes off-market properties and upcoming listings.
Three.
Property Evaluation & Due Diligence
Every shortlisted property is assessed for value, condition, and long-term suitability. We look closely at renovation potential, outdoor space, school catchments, and suburb trajectory - so the next home you buy is one you won't want to leave.
Four.
Negotiation & Purchase
We negotiate directly with real estate agents to secure the best possible outcome, whether at auction or through private treaty. We help manage the full process so the transition between homes is as smooth as possible.
Recent Clients
Thank you so much for your expertise, support, and professionalism in getting my home. So exciting! Having you on board in the lead up and to bidding on the day, it totally changed the experience for me and increased the chances of success. I felt in such good hands and guided and knew that you had my best interests at heart all along the way. Many thanks and you are so good at what you do.
Brigid
Ben was extremely professional and diligent. Our housing needs changed a couple of times during our search. Ben remained motivated and accommodating. The challenge of finding a new home from a different country was made significantly easier thanks to Ben. We could not have achieved the same outcome in securing our new home without Ben’s services.
Natalie & Andrea
Working with Ben to buy our first home was one of the best decisions we made. He was proactive, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with, making a stressful process feel smooth and enjoyable. Ben’s communication and systems were excellent. His guidance and patience gave us complete confidence, and we were successful on our first offer.
Arpana & Tim
Ben’s knowledge of the property market and his experience in property investment helped us secure an amazing home. His support and continuous communication made the house hunting (and house purchasing) experience so easy from start to finish. He was a pleasure to work with and we really appreciated his genuine enthusiasm and dedication to helping us find the right property.

Is now a good time to upgrade in Canberra's property market?
Canberra's market rewards buyers who approach upgrades with strategy rather than timing the market. The gap between your current home and your next one, in price terms - is the key variable, and that gap can actually narrow in a rising market, meaning upgraders who wait can end up worse off than those who move decisively.
More important than market timing is buying the right property at the right price, which is where a buyers agent adds direct value. A well-negotiated purchase in any market condition will outperform a poorly timed one. Our role is to ensure that when you make the move, you buy an asset with strong long-term fundamentals - not one that looks appealing in the moment.
From the first strategy call to settlement day, we manage the process so you can buy with confidence - no matter how busy your schedule is. Just contact Ben on ben@dealbuyersagency.com.au or 0438 867 822.
What does a buyers agent do that a real estate agent doesn't?
A real estate agent works for the vendor. A buyers agent works exclusively for you.
That distinction matters enormously when you're making one of the largest financial decisions of your life. We search the entire market - including off-market properties, to find options that genuinely match your family's criteria, rather than showing you what's currently listed. We assess each property independently for value and suitability, identify risks before you commit, and negotiate on your behalf with your interests as the only priority. For families upgrading from an existing home, we also help think through the sequencing of the sale and purchase, something no real estate agent will help you navigate.
How does a buyers agent help families & professionals in Canberra?
From experience, we know that the suburb is often more important than the property itself. A well-located home in the right suburb is much more rewarding for your lifestyle and will outperform a better home in a weaker location over ten years - and for families, the suburb also shapes schooling options, community, lifestyle, and daily commute.
We know Canberra's suburbs at a granular level, which catchments are genuinely strong, which precincts are improving, where infrastructure investment is flowing, and where land supply constraints are likely to support long-term value. We use that knowledge to help families narrow their search to the suburbs that are right for both their lifestyle and their wealth-building goals, before we identify individual properties.
How long does it take to find and secure the right home?
Most upgrading professionals and families work with us over a period of six to twelve weeks from the first strategy session to an accepted offer, though this varies depending on how specific the brief is and how active the target suburbs are.
One of the key advantages of using a buyers agent is access to off-market properties, which can shorten the search phase considerably and allow you to buy before a property reaches the broader market. For families who are also managing a sale of their existing home, we coordinate the timing so that the two transactions align as closely as possible - reducing the pressure of holding two properties or needing to move twice.
From the first strategy call to settlement day, we manage the process so you can buy with confidence - no matter how busy your schedule is. Just contact Ben on ben@dealbuyersagency.com.au or 0438 867 822.
