GREATER PITTSBURGH • HOME PURCHASES
Dogs always see people from within, and so do I.
WHAT WE DO
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
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.
Five years leading programs that transitioned individuals from institutional care to modified, community-based housing
Hands-on experience with ramps, roll-in showers, widened doorways, stair lifts, and accessible kitchens.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Not at all. While I specialize in accessible home buying, I work with any buyer in the Greater Pittsburgh area. That said, if your family has specific accessibility needs, that's where I truly stand out.
Yes — and I can also help you identify homes with strong modification potential. Sometimes the right bones matter more than a move-in-ready setup.

Ramps, roll-in showers, widened doorways, stair lifts, accessible kitchens, and more. I also have trusted contractor referrals for post-closing upgrades.
Absolutely. I have a vetted network of contractors experienced in ADA-compliant modifications.
Community HealthChoices is Pennsylvania's managed care program for individuals with disabilities and older adults. Before real estate, I spent five years supporting this program at UPMC Health Plan and Centene — helping people transition from institutional care into community-based housing.
Most agents aren't trained to think about accessibility, modification potential, or proximity to care services. I am — both professionally and personally.
