James Hodge

James Hodge is a Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors, bringing more than 18 years of experience as an entrepreneur, investor, and business owner in the tire, lube, and auto repair industry. His background reflects a career built on ownership, hands on operations, and a consistent focus on building long term value. James has spent his career working directly with business owners, building and operating a service based company centered on business to business relationships with fleet operators, including pickup trucks, dump trucks, log trucks, and heavy equipment. Through this work, he developed a strong understanding of the operational pressures business owners face, particularly the importance of maintaining cash flow, minimizing downtime, and making decisions that support long term stability. As a business broker, James applies that same practical perspective to every client relationship. He understands that each business is different and that successful outcomes require careful listening, clear communication, and a thoughtful approach to problem solving. His experience allows him to guide clients through the transaction process with a focus on realistic expectations, strong positioning, and effective negotiation. James is known for his integrity, direct communication style, and commitment to following through on what is communicated throughout a transaction. He believes that trust is built through consistency and transparency, and that successful transactions should reflect the expectations set from the beginning. He began investing in real estate at age 19 and has maintained an entrepreneurial focus throughout his career. Alongside his wife, he has successfully acquired and operated two small businesses, including one he helped grow prior to purchase. Both transactions were structured with seller financing, creating reliable income for the sellers while supporting a smooth transition of ownership. Based in Onalaska, Texas, James has spent most of his life in the state and values the relationships he has built within the business community. His approach to business brokerage is grounded in real world experience, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to helping clients achieve outcomes that support their long term goals.
