In the trailer for Selling Sunset season 8, Whittaker said, “I own a little western town in the desert,” to which Tiesi replied, “A town?”
According to the new promo, Whittaker appears to be taking his castmates to town — where they all arrive dressed in Western attire.
City or not, the real estate agent links in her Instagram bio to Cosmic Ranch, a luxury vacation rental in Pioneertown — a late-nineteenth-century-themed town in San Bernardino County, California, originally built for western movie sets.
The 2.5-acre property is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom property “among gently sloping mountains,” according to the Airbnb listing.
The ranch-style home features a yoga room, an outdoor deck with skyline views, and a private hot tub.
Whittaker also has Pioneertown Land Co. in its biography, a historic campsite available for booking events, filming and good old fashioned camping.

Fans of the hit reality series Selling Sunset can look forward to seeing Whittaker join the cast in the upcoming season — which released its first trailer in August 2024.
The promo gave fans a glimpse of the drama brewing, including the ongoing feud between Tiesi and Lazkani. The clip shows Tiesi on her way to Lazkani saying, “They say don’t shoot the messenger…she’ll shoot me for sure.”
Adding to the tension, the trailer showed Young holding onto some potentially damaging information. “I heard information that could really affect families, marriages,” she told colleague Smith.
Embedded in the high-stakes drama are clips of Whittaker among the cast, particularly glimpses of her “small western town” where she appears to be taking her fellow agents.
“If I were to buy your city, how much would I have to pay?” Jason asked, to which Whittaker didn’t answer.
8th season Selling Sunset will premiere on September 6, 2024 on Netflix.
