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.

  • Linda was terrific for us. She got us to make an offer on this house for which the sellers already had a contract; difference was that our contract was contingent on financing versus the other offer contingent on sale of their home. We were nervous that we'd get financing and still have our other mortgage...No problem: Linda sold our home in 2 weeks, our financing was approved and we've been happy here ever since. Linda did a first rate job for us, was rock when we were a bit anxious, never misled us and got us the home we really wanted. Thanks for all you did for us!

  • I tell everyone about the great experience i had! I have referred multiple people, and will continue to in the future! I never felt like i was annoying, or bothering, and was always reassured that I could call with any question, or concern no matter what time, or what day it was. Ryan even helped me with things he didn't have to...now that's above and beyond customer service! I've thanked them multiple times, but once again Thank You!!!

  • We had to negotiate and sell long distance, and the Lowe team made it so simple for us that we barely noticed the transaction was happening. Their advice about how to prepare the house for listing was spot on- they didn't have us do things that were unnecessary but chose things that really made a difference. They took care of every detail for us, I can't thank them enough.

  • Ryan was great at being very willing to show us a bunch of houses in chunks. Once he knew our price point and the type of houses & neighborhoods we were interested in, he did a great job at identifying a number of houses we should look at. He also never pressured us into putting in an offer -- this was huge for me.
