Clarksville TN Realtors | The Bow Tie Home GuyChris Hodges
Let's ChatHi Folks,
First and foremost, I am a proud father and a devout husband. My wife is everything to me, and my son is my world. They are my why—the reason behind every decision I make, including why I got into real estate in the first place.
I'm a first-generation homeowner. No one in my family ever owned a home. In fact, I spent my entire 7th grade year sleeping in a car. That experience, along with multiple eviction notices as a kid, created a deep desire in me to not only own a home—but to help others experience that same stability and pride. Becoming a Realtor gave me the opportunity to do exactly that.
Since 2022, I've helped more than 281 families buy or sell their homes. I will never try to convince you to buy or sell; rather, I'll simply help guide your decision-making process—even if that means going a different route than working with me.
Before real estate, I served 8 years in the military, including 6 deployments to all of the vacation spots: Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait. That experience shaped my discipline, sharpened my ability to stay calm under pressure, and instilled the ferocious work ethic I bring to every client relationship.
My business is built on expectation management, clear communication, and a mindset of service—not sales. Because of the volume I've done, I'm never desperate for a deal—and that freedom allows me to be honest, transparent, and focused on doing what's right, not just what closes.
I can't wait to meet you.
Bow Tie Home Guy
Yes, it's a real bow-tie.
Like bow ties, I am a little old school.
I work hard, know my business, and will tirelessly provide you with an outstanding home buying or selling experience.
We'll get a lot done and likely have a little fun in the process.

We heard “ i’ve never seen this happen before” at every turn 😁. One thing for sure, our team was on it. Chris Hodges got bombarded with questions pretty much daily. If he was unsure he would research and give us an answer by end of the day. Kelli Myers was on her game with deadlines and making sure all inspections were set and ready to go. She never missed a beat. All this to say when I do this again… they will definitely be my go-to team.”

He probably took me to about 20 home viewings before I settled on the one I bought. Not only did he never show his exasperation (because, I mean, who wouldn’t be annoyed?) But each time I met up with him was a delight, since he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and impeccably dressed. I have had to move 7 times in the last 7 years, so I have had a bit of experience with realtors, and from different states, too. I agree with what Chris has so accurately printed on his business card: most realtors such, but he does not! In fact, if you are lucky enough to score Chris as your realtor, you are in excellent hands. :D We miss him already.”

He went out of his way to send us many videos of not only every inch of several houses, he also sent us videos of the drive to the property and through the neighborhoods. He met with my son and daughter in law that lives near by my new home in TN and kept them in the loop even including them in the home inspection process. He checked in every week to see if we had questions or needed help and always responded promptly every time!! I could not describe this firm as anything but fantastic and exceptional! I highly recommend using him for a seamless purchase.”
“These guys are amazing. Super knowledgeable and always on point. Communication was clear and they helped us to put together a deal that worked for both parties perfect. They went above and beyond by emailing videos to us on many different properties until we found our forever home. Every realtor should take notes from these folks. I’ll definitely use these guys again and I recommend them to anyone. We were in Minnesota for a Tennessee purchase and it went seamlessly. I worked with Chris and Joey, both great guys.”

Once we put in an offer, KW offered a local, very responsive finance team and went the extra distance to get us closed and moved in right on time. I would highly recommend it for military movers or anyone else looking to make Clarksville their home.”

Again, we highly recommend this team.”

(931) 378-0010FAQs
There are 1,200 realtors in Clarksville, TN — why choose you?
At the end of the day, you should do what's best for you and your family. You should interview more than one agent. I have helped loads of people with all kinds of real estate problems. I bring solutions to those problems. I will never push you to a decision; just help you with it.
How much is it gonna cost to use you?
Great question, that depends. I have helped folks sell their home and come $0 out of their own pocket. I have helped buyers get into a home and I have waived my commission, entirely, to make it work. I will not work for free, but I will always put your needs before mine.
What if my home is not market ready but I need to sell?
Not a problem. We have money set aside for sellers to use and renovate their home, prior to listing. The sellers just pay us back out of closing. Or, we offer investor-friendly options: no inspections, no appraisals, close in two weeks, and you can even live in it for free after closing.
Can you help me with real estate investing?
Yes I can. I am a real estate investor myself with six rental properties here in Clarksville TN. Whether it is analyzing a deal, helping find tenants for your home, or helping you draft your own lease, I can do it all.
Is your bow tie pinned or tied?
Firstly, that question is offensive. Secondly, tied.
How long have you been in real estate and how many families have you helped?
I have been in the industry since August of 2021. As of September 2026 I have had the pleasure of helping 281 families. For context, the average realtor in the US takes about 3 years to build up to closing on 10 homes each year.
