The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Porsha Williams is making big money moves in the Georgia real estate market — even though some “emotional” decisions had to be made in the process.
How to Watch
The Real Housewives of Atlanta  airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.
During RHOA Season 17, Episode 12 (streaming on Peacock beginning June 22), neither Porsha nor her mother, Ms. Diane Williams, could believe that the Duluth, Georgia., home that the latter had been living in sold so quickly. According to Ms. Diane, it took less than two weeks for them to receive “many offers,” including one that was all-cash.
“When I tell you it’s crazy, I mean these people are ready to come in here like next month,” Porsha remarked, before telling a producer, “Today’s bittersweet because this is the last time that I’ll be visiting my mom at this house.”

A bit later, she added, “When you are looking at moving around assets, if I can sell a $2 million asset, make a million dollars, keep the $7 million asset, take out its equity, we’re making smart business decisions.”
Why Porsha Williams was so “emotional” over selling her mother’s home
Porsha previously opened up about selling her mother’s house during a tearful conversation with “friend-friend” Mike Bless in Episode 4. “So, the divorce settled not long ago,” she explained, referring to her split from Simon Guobadia. “I just listed my mom’s house. People had a lot to say about, ‘Well, why are you doing that to keep this? Just let this go.’ But this is where I get the money that I put out back.”
In a confessional, Porsha elaborated that the Duluth property was the “first big purchase” she made after her previous divorce from Kordell Stewart. “It was a symbol of my hard work and independence,” she said, as clips rolled from her home tour in 2017. “But going through the divorce [from Simon], the house has a million dollars’ worth of equity, and this is just a good time to pull it out.”
At the time, her realtor had already received three purchase offers. “It just made me a little emotional today, I ain’t gonna lie,” Porsha told Mike.
She added in a producer interview, “This was the home I raised Pilar in. This is the home I thought my mother was gonna be in for the rest of her time. And having to make these decisions at this moment, on the emotional side, is a little difficult.”
Inside Porsha Williams’ idea to “make money” with Drew Sidora and Cynthia Bailey
Outside of her real estate portfolio, another source of income for Porsha is, of course, her Go Naked Hair brand. Later in RHOA‘s June 21 episode, she approached castmate Drew Sidora with a business proposition involving the luxury hair company that she co-founded with sister Lauren Williams in 2013.
“Would you like to make money together?” she asked Drew, before going on to explain that she was starting a “pop-on wig line” that Cynthia Bailey was already involved with as well. “I have some units that came in and I think they look like you. So, let’s do a Drew line.”

In her response, Drew referenced her and Porsha’s previous Season 16 drama, declaring, “What a difference a year will make!” With that said, Drew explained that she was “completely open” to them starting anew, but she had hired a new manager who would work out the business details with Porsha’s team.
“Porsha and I, honestly, have come a long way,” Drew reiterated in a confessional. “But I do have my reservations because I just don’t ever want to mix our business and our friendship. I’m excited for it, but I will just need to make sure that we do things the right way this time.”
As she and Drew sort out their new partnership on RHOA, get details on Porsha’s home and current living situation.
