This story starts with native Cincinnatians, John & Kristen Hoh, and their cute renovation in Oakley. It continues with the addition of their first "baby" a German Shepherd named Cali, then eventually two more babies, Beckett and Kayleigh and a need for more living space. Their failed attempt to find what they were looking for during the pandemic led them to change realtors and to find a team who could help explore all of their options.
We were living in an adorable house John bought in Oakley before we even met! Before I moved in, we renovated it and loved living there. But we very quickly outgrew it as our family grew. We needed more space, but we were having a hard time finding the right house in the right location during the pandemic. That’s when we switched realtors and gave Bob and Mike a call. I knew Mike in high school and my dad has known Bill for years! I knew if anyone could help us find something to fit our family in Montgomery, it would be them. And we knew we could trust them to give their honest opinions and recommendations throughout the process. That’s one of the things we appreciate most about Bob!
When we finally gave Mike and Bob a call, we had no idea what we really wanted. Did we want to build? Renovate a home? Was it in Montgomery? Or in Anderson? John and I both really appreciated that Oyler Hines is a one-stop shop like that - they really do it all and have such great connections. After not finding what we needed and wanted in a new home with our previous realtor, it was really comforting that we could explore all our options with this team and - together with them - figure out what we wanted for our family. And once we decided, we felt confident they were the ones who could make it happen.
Honestly, how easy it ended up being! We found a house before it was listed and sold ours without having to list it. With guidance from Bob and Mike, it was all just very easy. And Bob STILL provides us with guidance and is so fast to reply when John has questions about the market or potential homes in the area. Because of how this team operates - with honesty, transparency, genuine intent and expertise in Cincinnati real estate - we’ll never work with anyone else.
The hardest part about buying and selling at the same time was, of course, timing. We needed to do massive renovations on the new home and it was going to take at least 4 months! Bob and Mike helped us navigate the selling contract on our previous home so we could essentially rent it back from the new owner. It gave us a little over 4 more months in the old house so we didn’t have to move into temporary housing with young kids while we were renovating, but we could still lock in a buyer and know what we would have to spend on renovations. That situation would have been really tricky and complex to navigate without Bob guiding us and negotiating on our behalf.
We also had other challenges during the process. But Bob helped us work through all of them. First and foremost, figuring out where we wanted to live! My husband and I were on different spectrums and different parts of the city at first! They helped us navigate that by showing us homes in both locations and talking through the pros and cons of each as we walked those houses. And we couldn’t be happier that we ended up where we did. The second challenge was simply inventory at the time. Bob was incredibly patient with us and was so on top of it. The minute something went on the market we might like, we got a call from him. He was so responsive when we called him and got us into showings immediately. He ultimately helped us navigate getting a home that hadn’t even hit the market yet, and that ended up being the first house we put an offer on…and we got it!
We paid less than we expected for a new home we love and sold our previous house for more than we expected! Above all, though, we got to know Bob really well during the process. He’s such a wonderful person and really had our best interest in mind. We could call him about a listing and he would give us his honest opinion about whether it would be a good fit for us or not. And he was spot on every single time. He listened to us during the process, asked all the right questions and remembered important details about our family’s needs to steer us on the right path throughout the home buying experience. He became a great friend during the process - we adore him and feel so comfortable around him! We’re grateful we got to know him during that time.
Find a realtor like Oyler Hines who is truly an expert in the market and real estate so they can help you easily navigate the process. The creative solutions they offer can make the process go much smoother or put options on the table we wouldn’t have otherwise known existed. They took so much stress out of the process, especially since we knew we could trust and rely on Oyler Hines. We just followed Bob’s guidance and it went smoothly.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]
