Lazkani was accomplished in her field prior to joining the Oppenheim Group. After exiting the corporate world in 2017, she obtained her real estate license and joined Los Angeles agency Rodeo Realty (the former employer ofMillion Dollar Listing Los Angelesstar Josh Flagg).
After venturing out on her own and taking time to raise her two children with husband Jeff Lazkani, she realized she was ready to return to the real estate game.
Chelsea, a graduate of the University of Birmingham and the University of Dundee in Scotland, is now taking her talents to the West Hollywood-based realty group.

“I think having the support of my husband and my family really essentially prepared me to take on this big role and this big opportunity,” Chelsea tells PEOPLE exclusively. “But for me personally, I saw this as an opportunity to really open doors in an industry that has lacked diversity and where minorities are underrated.”
“I feel like with great opportunities comes great responsibility,” she continues. “This was kind of my time to give back and to educate and really mentor and push forward Black women in this luxury sector in real estate. So just knowing that I’ve got a greater purpose kind of prepared me for this.”

Chelsea was previously acquainted with her new boss Jason through her husband, which further helped her to ease into the swing of things.
She “was always very familiar with Oppenheim Group” prior to joining, but she hadn’t met any of her other co-stars onSelling Sunset, all of whom, she says, have “really inspired” her.
