Prior to joining the Oppenheim Group, Lazkani worked in the corporate world. In 2017, she decided to venture out on her own and got her real estate licence. She worked for Rodeo Realty in Los Angeles before taking a break to focus on her two children, Maddox and Melia, with husband Jeff Lazkani.
"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," Lazkani told People about joining the Oppenheim Group. "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 added. "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."
