2 She's a Wife and Proud Mom of 2

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."

3 She Knew Jason Oppenheim Before Joining the Brokerage

Though she hadn't met any of her "Selling Sunset" costars before joining the show, Lazkani knew Oppenheim through her husband and was familiar with his brokerage. After meeting the ladies, Lazkani told People that they've "really inspired" her. "It kind of helps me see my future trajectory by being around so many successful women," she noted. "It helps materialize the fact that I can be selling $20 million, $30 million, $40 million homes, seeing other women in close proximity to me doing it."
