It's a wonderful day at RE/MAX and here in Centre County and Happy Valley!! I've been blessed to call Central PA my home since 2004 when I relocated here from Phila.  I married an amazing hometown guy, the 6th Grade Instrumental Band Director for SCASD, my parents live five minutes away from us and I get to be part of an amazing community. I feel so very blessed with where my journey has brought me.

My dad enlisted in the Air Force the year I was born. It set the tone for the first part of my life, being continually uprooted, and being far from family and friends and the security that can bring. It presented both challenges and lifelong opportunities.

Besides PA, I have lived in Washington State, Idaho, Louisiana, Hawaii, and Colorado. I've lived in busy and loud cities as well as small and rural areas. I've met a wide array of people throughout all of my travels, and have always taken care of others, whether that was part of my job or not.

So, getting into Real Estate and making my clients feel at home since 2014 was a natural fit for my customer service background. It's exciting because every day is different, the market is ever changing, technology is always evolving, and trends are constantly updating. People will always want a place to call their own.  A safe space to lay their head at night. Somewhere to grow their roots and I love being a part of  that!!

In addition to Real Estate, I enjoy being involved with my church, Faith United Methodist, in Bellefonte, as well as travel, especially to the Adirondacks every Summer for hiking, canoeing, and boating. We are avid history buffs and enjoy studying battlefields. For indoor activities, I love reading and doing puzzles.

I look forward to helping you in every way I can. Please allow my knowledge and know-how to guide you through the buying, selling, or investing process. There are so many things to consider and you need someone who has your best interests at heart. I can't wait to hear from you. Let's chat.

All the best to you and yours, now and always.

  • Ryan Lowe and his team were extremely attentive and understanding of my financial and personal needs. Ryan went above and beyond to work with my father and I throughout the long distance selling process. He was professional, personable, and honest. I would recommend Ryan and his team to any interested buyer or seller.

  • As a first time buyer I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into. Mariam Lowe guided me through the process from start to finish. She helped me find the perfect house for me, kept me in the loop regarding the process, and made sure I had everything I was required to do submitted correctly and on time. Every question I had was promptly answered and every concern was looked into and resolved. I highly recommend Mariam as a buyer's agent!

  • I was referred to Linda & Ryan Lowe by a friend of mine when I was looking to buy a townhouse as a first-time home buyer. Mariam Lowe was my buyer's agent and she was phenomenal! She was very patient with me to explain the home-buying process and was honest with me the entire time (even pointing out negative points about some properties I looked at that I'm glad I didn't buy). I loved that she was very quick to respond to my emails (almost immediate) and helped me negotiate to a buying price I was able to afford. I would definitely go with Lowe Realty again if I need to buy or sell. I highly recommend them to anyone.

  • When we decided it was time to downsize to prepare for retirement, the Lowe's where there to help sell our older home and buy a new condo. Remarkably, this all happened within 90 days, thanks to the expertise of Linda, Mariam and Ryan Lowe. This team worked relentlessly to negotiate the buy-sell of the two properties. They not only met our budget but found the perfect new home as well! They really know the market. What we wanted was the first thing they asked us when we first met. And I can honestly say that throughout the process, my wife and I never once doubted the Lowe's ability to make it happen for us.
