| REALTOR® |

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 super to work with from beginning to end. He is very knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond the call of duty to respond ASAP. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell real estate

  • My wife and I were first-time homebuyers and we were so glad we chose to work with Ryan and his great team! Ryan helped us through the process, taking the time to explain each step along the way. He worked tirelessly on our behalf during the search and during negotiation. Also we were able to secure a loan through a lender he recommended and the loan officer was fantastic! Ryan knows real estate and he knows the State College area.

  • We highly recommend Linda and Ryan Lowe Lowe! We have purchased nine investment properties through Linda and Ryan in the last seven years. They sold six of the properties, which we "flipped." They also sold our own home when we moved out of the area. They helped us list our properties for the right prices and sold them all quickly. We have always been impressed with their professionalism and their commitment to finding the right properties for us. They met our high expectations again and again. We could not find realtors like them when we moved and have called for their input more than once. We have recommended them to many others. They are the only realtors we would work with in Centre County!

  • Experience was great. Mariam was very helpful and enjoyable to work with. She was always available and very patient with our decision making. I purchased my home through Linda and Ryan Lowe and if the time ever came to sell I would again choose them to list our home.

  • Ryan takes being a buyer's advocate to a new level. His negotiating skills and responsivenesses are amazing - negotiating a sale price at 93% of list - good for this area. He truly goes the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction - even arranging for a free 14ft moving van. I have and will continue to highly recommend Ryan for any real estate transaction.
