Welcome to First Story Real Estate
More Than Real Estate.
A Place for Your Next Chapter.
First Story Real Estate is led by Broker Debbie Kirkland, whose practice is built on a simple idea: the right property is about more than square footage. It is about how you want to live, what you want to build, and what you hope to pass on.
From a first home in Tallahassee to a waterfront retreat on the Forgotten Coast or working acreage in Southwest Georgia, we bring local knowledge, honest counsel, and careful attention to every client we serve.
“I love this profession. Seeing clients reach their goals — through investing, a starter home, or a retirement retreat — is enormously rewarding.”

Having known Debbie K for a couple decades, and having benefitted from her help with a recent home purchase, we knew she was the one to help us with the sale of our Tallahassee home of 25 years. Our expectations were high, and Debbie far exceeded them, from her early advice on thorough prep and timing of listing, to a flawless marketing plan, to managing multiple full price offers and getting us under contract in 3 days! If you need a personal recommendation, don't hesitate to ask!

Trusted Advisor Trip Webb · Buyer, Tallahassee -
I was moving to an area I was not familiar with and Debbie was great in helping me find and house and staying on top of everything that was needed, especially because it was my first time buying a home. She was there for me whenever I had a question or needed help and was truly phenomenal and helped me in more ways than I could have hoped! Thank you Debbie!
