Who is Selling Sunset's Chelsea Lazkani?
Chelsea Lazkani is a real estate agent from London who moved to LA six years ago. Since living Stateside, she's clearly made quite the impression in the industry and even knew Jason Oppenheim, the co-founder and boss at the Oppenheim Group, through her husband.
During season five, Chelsea meets and forms a friendship with Christine after meeting at an open house. After realising their mutual connection to Jason, Christine makes a beeline to get Chelsea on board at the OG.
However, (spoiler alert!) fans who have watched the show will know it's not that simple and, as Jason worded it, if Chelsea joins fulltime then "someone has to go". Ouch. But when Chelsea manages to sell one of Jason's properties before she's even joined the team – he struggles to turn her and impressive credentials away.
