A steady guide for the move ahead.

I’m Deirdre Jones Leeper, the REALTOR® behind DJ Sells RVA.

Since becoming a Virginia-licensed real estate agent in 2013, I’ve helped buyers and sellers throughout Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Petersburg, and surrounding communities move forward with confidence.

I bring clear guidance, strong negotiation, and personal attention to every transaction. I have a special passion for helping first-time homebuyers understand their options, and I help sellers combine thoughtful pricing, purposeful marketing, and local market knowledge.

I do this work because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to own a home. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling, or preparing for your next chapter, I’d love to help you take the next step.
