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 was the dual agent(his mother the seller's agent) for my first house purchased in July 2012. Being a foreigner with fewer than 5 years in the U.S, most of which was spent in bad grad school rental properties, I had very limited experience with every aspect of housing. Ryan was patient enough to explain everything in layman's terms to help me get a good foothold on them. I have nothing negative to say at all. It was a great experience.

  • I worked with Ryan directly. He was very nice and polite and very prompt. He did not push us to do any changes to the home like some others had tried making us do. Ryan really understood our unique situation and did everything in his power to help quickly. Highly recommend them to anyone. In the end we decided for personal reasons not to sell.

  • We were first time home buyers and moved from out of state. My husband made the following comment, which exemplifies our experience in working with Ryan, "I not only feel that we gained a realtor, but a friend." As first time buyers, we naturally had a million questions and not one went unanswered. I jokingly commented that Ryan never slept because his response time was impeccable. Ryan and his team made our experience more than positive and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Centre County. Their knowledge, experience and community involvement is evident. Fantastic realtors and fantastic people!
