Christine Quinn met Chelsea Lazkani.

We would love to capture every single thing in the moment, right?

Lazkani said, keeping it real.

Were gonna do our best to do that just so you guys get organic reactions.

Sweet, sweet reality TV is what these realtors are actually selling.

Jason is a legend in this industry.

So before actually getting my real-estate license in 2017, I was always familiar with Jason and his brokerage.

By luxury, I mean brokerages that really focus on selling the high, high, high-end homes.

It came together perfectly.

My husband and I have remained private most of our life.

I love real estate, and I know there is a lack of representation in my respective field.

Theres power in numbers.

How does working at the Oppenheim Group compare with your experiences working elsewhere as a Black woman?Hmm.

I realized early on that wasnt going to take me where I needed to go.

How does it feel using that voice now?It feels marvelous.

Although filming the season, Ive been misperceived by some of the cast members.

But I was met with some microaggressions.

There were many things I witnessed that just didnt sit well with me.

Why would you do that to me?

This was a scenario whereby I had to film a scene that wasnt planned.

I did what I had to do and I made it work.

Im sure it was a mistake because nobodyd wanna do me like that, but it happens.

What did you bond over?Emmas a boss, okay?

Emmas about her business, and shes very intelligent.

We have very high-level conversations about things that we want to do.

Do you like her empanadas?

This answer will determine how close you really are.Oh, I love them.

Whatre you talking about, babe?
