Seller reviewWhen I decided to purchase a home and sell my home almost simultaneously, I knew Debbie was the committed professional that would see me through this process. The technology utilized by Debbie and her team assured me that my property was being marketed the very best it could be. The short time it took to sell is a testament to Debbie's strategic marketing insight. A phenomenal professional. Communicated through the entire process to ensure I had the details I needed. The process was seamless because of Debbie's attention to detail. I felt like I was her only customer because she was so attentive. Will use her again and would certainly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Buyer reviewMy expectations were met and I was very satisfied, as was my sister who purchased a home from Debbie a couple of months ago.
-
Buyer reviewDebbie went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy with my home purchases. She worked hard regardless of the time or day of the week. Because I do not live in Florida, she extended her time and services, even during her off times. That was much appreciated. I am also impressed with her knowledge of the Tallahassee area. I would truly recommend Debbie to family members or friends looking to buy or sell a home.

Seller reviewIt was a pleasure to work with Ms. Kirkland. We found her professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. She was always willing to answer our questions and helped deal with any issues that came up. I would use her again for sure.

Buyer reviewWe lived in Tallahassee from 1997 to 2000. We had two property transactions with realtors Kevin Davis and Reagan Hobbs. When we told Kevin we were considering buying the condo at the Cloisters, and Debbie Kirkland was the transaction broker, he assured us we were in the very best of hands. We could not have been more pleased with the entire process.

Seller reviewI have known Debra Kirkland for many, many years and she is very knowledgeable in the local real estate market. This was a difficult property to sell and she did a great job. I have already recommended Debra to others and will continue to do so. She and her staff are very helpful.
