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.

  • Mariam Lowe was amazing. She had knowledgeable answers to our questions throughout the process. When it came time to negotiate, she used that knowledge to lobby hard for what we wanted. Once we were under contract, she handled absolutely everything that didn't require our express involvement. Looking forward to working with her again!

  • Ryan worked with me for almost a year before I found the house that was right for me. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful with his suggestions and knowledge of the housing market. He was very accommodating and flexible. He always worked around my schedule and when he couldn't he made sure that someone could. I would highly recommend Ryan Lowe to anyone looking to purchase or sell property.

  • I highly recommend Ryan and Linda Lowe and the Lowe team for the purchase and sale of a home in Centre County. Our most recent experience with the Lowe team was the sale of our house. We got an honest and accurate assessment of the value of our home . The biggest thing that stands out about the Ryan and Linda's listings is the online presentation. The photography and write up are above and beyond anything you see from other local agents, especially at our price point. The Lowe's sold our home in 2 weeks, in the winter, and I think the online listing was a major contributor. The other major advantage to using the Lowe's is the level of organization and service provided by the entire team. Ryan and Linda were very accommodating of our schedule with young children, and were always on the same...

  • I know it doesn't normally happen this way, but our previous house went on the market on a Thursday and was sold that Sunday. I believe it had a lot to do with following what Ryan suggested we do in order to sell the house. When it came to buying a house, we were looking in a certain price range. After looking at several houses over the course of a few weeks, we realized that we were looking at more than we could afford. We told Ryan and he immediately readjusted the sights and found exactly what we were looking for in the range we could afford. After looking at a few properties he helped us negotiate a more than fair deal on the house we bought. People have told me that Linda or Ryan took a couple of days to get back to them initially, but that is not indicative of the service they...

  • We used Ryan Lowe as our real estate agent in 2008 to purchase a townhouse in State College for our two children who were attending PSU. He was friendly and professional, and we liked his proficiency and conscientiousness so much that we hired him again three years later to sell the townhouse after our children graduated from college. Ryan handled so much of the business end that we did not have to make repeated three hour trips to handle the sale of the house. He was able to communicate a level of real estate expertise to two generations of involved participants, both my wife and I and our two children. His accountability, honesty and efficiency made these two major transactions nearly seamless. I recommend Ryan Lowe without hesitation.
