Celebrity sightings aren’t unusual at #mortgage industry conventions, but they usually involve keynote speakers or concert headliners.

A new “Real Housewife of Atlanta” has arrived in a gated community outside Atlanta — and she’s not even the area’s first.
Porsha Williams paid $1.15 million for a mansion on the same golf course as fellow “RHOA” NeNe Leakes, TMZ was first to report.
The drama factor is sure to rise with two housewives living large so close together. It’s Williams’ first home purchase since her divorce from retired NFL quarterback Kordell Stewart, and she celebrated on social media with the salvos “God bless the child that got his own” and, from Beyonce, “#BestRevengeIsYourPaper.”
This Georgia peach scored a beauty, with more than 5,900 square feet of classic architectural grandeur, from the colonial facade to the two-story marble foyer and great room.
Five fireplaces grace the 5-bedroom, 7-bath mansion, which boasts a chef’s kitchen alongside a breakfast room with its own fireplace and coffered ceiling.
The graciously sized master suite includes a fireplace, sitting area, luxurious master bathroom with a soaking tub, and a closet the size of some bedrooms.
