All about Chelsea Lazakani

Chelsea's comeback to the luxury real estate industry was prompted by her acquaintance with the founder of the Oppenheim Group, Jason Oppenheim, through her husband, Jeff Lazkani. Speaking about her comeback, she told People:

"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. 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."

With her new role, she even hopes to open doors for black women in the luxury real estate industry. She said:

"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 of real estate. So just knowing that I've got a greater purpose kind of prepared me for this."

According to her Oppenheim Group profile, she grew up learning about the business from her father, Segun Adefioye, who is an architect and developer. She was motivated by her mother, Elizabeth Adefioye, a Chief People Officer at Emerson, who not only inspired her to see “what could be possible for her own life but also afforded her the opportunity to travel and see the world, solidifying her love for design, culture, and people.”

Now on the show, the realtor is all set to get back in the game and make some interesting deals to prove her worth. The show debuted its season 5 on April 22 on Netflix.
