Tricia Lee and Jeffrey Work in the Same Team at SERHANT
Tricia Lee Riley began her career as a real estate broker after spending ten years as a businesswoman. She worked with various companies in her first few years and earned the Rookie of the Year award. In 2021, she was invited to join SERHANT. With a strong influence and connection in the Brooklyn area, her impact was undeniable. When she was offered the chance to lead her team at SERHANT, it was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. By this time, she was in a stable and secure relationship with Jeffrey St. Arromand, who also had experience in real estate. He decided to join Tricia and became a member of her team, working alongside her.
As Tricia worked her way up and started expanding her business within SERHANT, Jeff stayed by her side, assisting in every capacity. They showed up and set up houses together. When asked if it had been easy to work with a significant other, Tricia made it clear that it was not without challenges, but because it was Jeff, she made it work. Jeff understood Tricia’s ambitions and how they impacted their life. The two shared a common vision they were working towards, undoubtedly making them a power couple.
Tricia Lee and Jeffrey Are Building a Future Together
Tricia and Jeff are still in a stable relationship and madly in love with each other. They have been engaged for a long time, but information regarding their plans for a wedding is not made public by both. The two have made a home in Flatbush, New York, and are partners in crime for each endeavor they undertake. The pair has worked on significant listings together in areas such as Fort Greene, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Brooklyn Heights and are now expanding to the rest of Brooklyn, too. They share a vision for their future and work hard to achieve it.
In an interview, Tricia shared how important Jeff is in her life and how much his support means to her. She called him her best friend and “doughnut” and said she could not imagine her life without him. The two have been recently engaged in a project titled The Yarn Factory, a four-building complex comprising 16 housing units located near Fort Greene Park, which they are selling together and making great strides with.
They have also been cognizant of their heritage. Since 2022, they have been organizing lunches for the top African-American real estate brokers for Black History Month. The tradition has become very popular, and it is now a quarterly event. For the February 2024 dinner, Brooklyn Point became their host partner and took things to the next level. Their shared values and approach to such things leave no doubt that a blissful and stable future awaits them.

The couple is invested in her upbringing and has made her a part of their lives.
