WHAT WE DO

Real Estate with Understanding.
Advocacy.
Accessibility

Finding a home that truly works for your family — physically, sensory, behaviorally, or cognitively — can feel nearly impossible. Most agents aren't equipped to help. I am.

I'm Craig Knox, a Pittsburgh Realtor who helps families navigating disability, special needs, and long-term care considerations purchase a home in Greater Pittsburgh. I specialize in finding homes that can be modified to meet your family's needs — one-level layouts, spaces suited for ramps or lifts, proximity to services and healthcare providers, and trusted contractor referrals for accessibility upgrades.

You don't need a perfect house. You need a home that can become perfect for your family.

One-level or adaptable layouts suited for your family's mobility and accessibility needs

Modification-ready spaces for ramps, lifts, roll-in showers, and bathroom upgrades

Proximity to services including support networks, healthcare providers, and schools

Trusted contractor referrals for accessibility upgrades after closing

A quick note: My services are specific to home
purchases in the Greater Pittsburgh area. I'm not able
to assist with rentals, housing programs, or
transactions outside the Pittsburgh metro — but I'm
happy to point you toward the right resources.

WHY ME

Experience That Goes
Beyond Real Estate

Before real estate, I spent five years in leadership at UPMC Health Plan and Centene supporting Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices program — helping individuals with disabilities transition from institutional care into safe, modified, community-based housing. I've been hands-on with ADA-compliant modifications, managed care coordination, and advocacy for people navigating complex diagnoses.

It's personal, too. I have family members living with autism, schizophrenia, and lifelong wheelchair use. I've supported loved ones through Alzheimer's and dementia. That's why I show up the way I do — with patience, respect, and zero assumptions.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Most agents aren't trained to think about accessibility, modification potential, or proximity to care services. I am — both professionally and personally.
