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.

  • When my Fiance and I decided to purchse our first home together, we wouldnt have even thought of trusting anyone with our Real Estate needs other than Ryan and Linda Lowe. When we ran into the last minute items needed for our closing Ryan stepped up to the plate and made sure he was there around the clock for us. The Lowes are truly experienced professionals and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

  • 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 and Linda Lowe provided us with quality service during the “relocation” sale of our home. They were prompt, hard working, provided excellent communications, and navigated with precision through the mounds of paperwork required by the Relocation Company. Due to their expertise in real estate sales, and the knowledge of the State College market, we had a full price offer on our home in less than two weeks, making the sale of our home a painless and profitable process.

  • We cannot say enough about everything that Ryan did for us. We moved into the area from out of state and did not know where to start. Ryan worked with us every step of the way, helping us to get to know the area and the market. He even picked me up from my hotel on my first visit to State College and took me to see several properties so I could get a feel for the area. He did not seem to care that we had a low budget for our home purchase. He put so much time in that you would think we were buying a million dollar home. He was an excellent negotiator, was extremely knowledgeable about the entire county, and worked hard to keep us on our tight timeline. He even helped us when our mortgage company became problematic. We cannot say enough about Ryan and everyone that works at his office. We...

  • My wife and I were in the process of looking for our first home. Ryan was wonderful to work with during the whole process. He was very flexible with working with our schedules and was very quick to respond to any questions about the home search process. It did not matter any day of the week or hour of the day. I will recommend working with Linda and Ryan Lowe every time for looking for a new home.

  • We were new to the area and received excellent support from Team Linda & Ryan Lowe when trying to find a home that suited our needs. Great communication was the key, as they "listened" through the entire process, respected our concerns and ultimately found a home that is perfect. Five stars all the way and recommend them to everyone!!
