Transworld Cincinnati | 3825 Edwards Road, Suite 400 Cincinnati
Katie Aker is a lifelong resident of northwestern Cincinnati, where she lives with her husband and three children. With a strong background in sales and finance, Katie brings a wealth of experience to every transaction—she has personally bought or sold more than 30 properties over the years. Her real estate career has been both successful and rewarding, but as her children grew older and became active in sports, Katie found herself ready for a new challenge—one that would allow her to apply her expertise in a fresh, meaningful way. That opportunity came after a chance meeting with JT at a networking event. When a client needed help selling a restaurant, Katie turned to JT. After a successful transaction and follow-up, he invited her to join his team. Now, Katie’s real estate expertise is a major asset for clients buying or selling businesses with property involved. Katie understands firsthand how emotional and overwhelming transitions like these can be. That’s why she’s committed to being a steady, supportive guide for her clients—whether they’re selling a business and moving on to their next chapter or chasing the dream of becoming their own boss.

  5. Selling a business is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions a small business owner will ever make. Going through the process with JT at Transworld Business Advisors of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, I can confidently say they make what could have been an overwhelming experience structured, strategic, and successful. From the first conversation, JT and Erin Lea and team clearly understood both the financial and personal sides of selling a business. They walked me through valuation, timing, confidentiality, and what buyers actually look for in today’s market. Their business valuation process was detailed and realistic, which helped attract serious buyers instead of wasting time with unqualified inquiries. One thing that stood out was their confidential marketing approach to a large buyer pool that only they can offer. They listed and promoted my company without exposing sensitive details publicly, which protected relationships with employees, customers, and vendors during the sale process. The team also handled buyer screening and negotiations extremely professionally. Instead of just bringing in random prospects or none at all, they filtered multiple buyers carefully to make sure they had the financial capability and genuine interest. This saved a tremendous amount of time and stress on me and my wife. And they had multiple buyer within days of starting! During due diligence and closing, they continued to stay involved—coordinating with attorneys, accountants, and lenders to keep everything moving forward. Having an experienced broker managing those moving parts made the difference between a chaotic process and a smooth transaction. Other brokers don’t take it to this level…JT and team do. Sorry for the length but JT and team are great. Highly recommend…trusted and will help you and your family! Sincerely, Jeffrey Cannon

Thank you JT!!

  16. After working with other brokers over the last 3 years with poor results, I can confidently say that Transworld Business Advisors is the best in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky and operates at a completely different level. JT took the time to truly understand my business, find a great buyer, and he got me to the closing table in months! Communication was clear, expectations were managed well, and I felt supported the entire way. I wish I had worked with JT sooner. I will never suggest working with anyone else. Thank You JT and Transworld!
