NEED TO KNOW
Trina Braxton is giving real estate a go, even if it means more random phone calls.
The reality star and entrepreneur, 50, has entered a new chapter on the second season of We TV’s The Braxtons, which chronicles her journey as a real estate agent. Episode six, premiering on Friday, Nov. 14, finds Trina trying to sell a home to actor Faizon Love — a moment she tells PEOPLE is one of her favorite of the season and marked her “first home showing” to date.
“He just broke the ice for me. And it was like, ‘If I can do this with a person who’s close to me and he’s my friend and I can still do an amazing job as a professional, then I can do this,’ ” Trina says. She adds, “Now I can get out there and I can do my job with anybody else because now I’ve already done the whole family-friend thing and I’m ready. Put my bootstraps on, I’m ready.”

Trina’s journey in the field started in early 2024, she says, before she became a certified agent in December. So far, things have been “challenging but fun,” partly because of all the calls she’s been getting.
“I think it’s a little different for me only because — and I’m not going to say it has anything to do with celebrity — but I have to decipher through,” Trina says. “Because you have your cards and you have your telephone number and stuff on there, and then you’ll get people calling, ‘Oh my gosh, is this really Trina?’ I’m like, ‘Dude, you trying to buy or what?’ ”

One aspect that she’s been loving about selling homes is “meeting new people” and getting to show off her knowledge of the field. But overall, Trina says its something she simply enjoys and won’t “age out of.”
“If We TV decided tomorrow, ‘Well, we’re going to cancel the show…’ — you guys better not cancel the show — but if they say, ‘We’re going to cancel the show,’ I am still a real estate agent,” she says, referring to her and her sisters’ revamped realty series. “I’m still a realtor, and I’m also going to be licensed in culinary arts.”
“I’m not going to allow myself to be pigeonholed into something that I do enjoy, by the way, but if they decide that they no longer want to continue on with doing The Braxtons as a show, I’m creating other shows, I am being a realtor, I am a culinary artist reopening up a bar because I was very successful,” she adds. “I’m just one of those people. I look toward the future. I can’t sit in the right now.”
The new iteration of The Braxtons — which follows the 2020 conclusion of Braxton Family Values — sees the musical family navigating loss, embarking on new careers and life milestones and holding nothing back in the process. Season 2 features glimpses of weddings, medical emergencies and a new chapter for Trina, who teases the episodes with three words: “Life, love and sisterhood.”
New episodes of The Braxtons premiere on We TV on Fridays at 8pm ET. The series can also be streamed on ALLBLK and AMC+.
