Who is Chelsea Lazkani?
Chelsea Lazkani was born and raised in the UK to a "real estate family" before bringing her house-selling talents across the pond as an adult. Her biography on The Oppenheim Group website reveals that Chelsea Lazkani has both beauty and brains as she has a BA in Economics from the University of Birmingham and a Masters in Oil and Gas Economics from Scotland’s University of Dundee, which she completed in 2015. After earning multiple degrees, Chelsea began a career in the corporate world, per People. In 2017, she got her real estate license and started selling luxury real estate for Rodeo Realty. (FYI, Bravo fans know Rodeo Realty as the company where Josh Flagg worked on 'Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles'). Chelsea married Jeff Lazkani in 2017 and they have two children. Chelsea took some time off to raise her kids. But now she's back and ready to pick up right where she left off.
Her Oppenheim bio reads: “Lazkani decided to bring her focus, tenacity, and analytical prowess to the Los Angeles real estate market. In her first year, she successfully oversaw more than $10 million in sales, leading her to make her own first home purchase in Manhattan Beach, CA. Now with over five years in the industry, Lazkani is making a name for herself as a premiere luxury realtor at The Oppenheim Group.”
'Push forward Black women'
Lazkani was excited to take part in 'Selling Sunset' season 5 as she told People: “I feel like with great opportunities comes great responsibility, 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.” She added, " I saw this as an opportunity to really open doors in an industry that has lacked diversity and where minorities are underrated."
