The Oppenheim Group is famous for its strong, no-nonsense women (hello, Christine Quinn) and Chelsea promises she hasn’t come to 'play any games'
. Raised in London, she moved to Los Angeles eight years ago with a masters in oil and gas economics from the University of Dundee. The plan was to work in the energy sector but, inspired by her dad who also worked in property, she pivoted and got her real estate licence.
Like many of the women on the show, Chelsea now juggles her demanding job with the two young children she has with her husband Jeff: Maddox, three, and Melia, two. ‘At the beginning it was really difficult because I was still exclusively breastfeeding Melia,’ she says. ‘On set, I’d be like, “I need to drain!” or I could tell when my daughter was hungry, even when I wasn’t with her, as I’d start filling up.’and Chelsea promises she hasn’t come to ‘play any games’.
When Chelsea started out in property, she says she was ‘blown away’ by the lack of Black women working in luxury real estate. But she hopes being on the show will inspire more Black women to work in the industry. ‘I’m African, I’m British, I’m Black,’ Chelsea says. ‘Knowing that there’s going to be loads of girls who look just like me feeling like they can succeed in real estate, that was really part of the reason I was like, “You’ve got to go for it and give it all you’ve got.
Fans of Selling Sunset know to expect theatrics but Chelsea remains tight-lipped about what we can expect as season five unfolds. But from her Instagram, it’s clear she’s friendly with fellow Selling Sunset agents Christine, Amanza Smith, Emma Hernan and boss Jason Oppenheim. However, Chelsea does hint that her straight-talking nature means some heated arguments are in store. ‘I can love you and still tell you you’re wrong.’Just so you know, whilst we may receive a commission or other compensation from the links on this website, we never allow this to influence product selections -
