Overview
Trinity Partners suits owners and occupiers who want a Charlotte-built firm with a Southeast footprint. Peter Conway, David Allen and Gary Chesson founded it in Charlotte in 1998, and it has grown to five offices and 255 people.1
Its newest office shows how it grows. Trinity entered Atlanta in May 2024 by acquiring APG Real Estate Services, adding 46 professionals and a 19-building, 5 million-square-foot management and leasing portfolio.3
The record is long but light. Twenty-eight years in business and one association listing produce the 8.5, with Moderate evidence. We read no state license record naming the firm, no independently reported deal and no review count large enough to mean much.14

Methodology and sources
Method note and sources
This score uses the boutique public-evidence rubric: state license (25), professional directory (20), verifiable transactions (20), years in business (20) and public reviews (15). A number is published only when at least two criteria have a source and at least one of those sources is independent of the firm. With exactly two sourced criteria the score is capped at 9.0; a 10.0 needs at least three. Self-reported career totals and review claims we have not read are not inputs.
