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.

  • We recently purchased our first home and were thrilled to have Linda & Ryan Lowe help us through such an exciting process. From visiting multiple houses to answering countless questions, Linda & Ryan were there each step of the way. We will always remember buying our first home and remain grateful to Linda & Ryan for making it such an enjoyable experience. We couldn't be happier to recommend Linda & Ryan, and their entire team!

  • From the moment we decided to buy a house, one of the first teams we kept hearing about was Linda and Ryan Lowe and upon making our decision we have been beyond pleased with the service we received. From the knowledge our Buyer Agent, Mariam Lowe, had about property in the area to her responsiveness to our questions and concerns at all times of the day or night, we were in good hands. As first time home buyers she took really good care of us and walked us through all of the difficult parts and guided us to helping choose our lender, our home inspector, and even our pest control guy. If you are looking to work with a team that is respectful, will spend time getting to know you and your family’s wants and needs, and will go above and beyond to help you and your family make the best...

  • Ryan was great to work with. Very quick and getting back to us, and keeping his answers simple for us to understand. He did very good job in educating us about his recommendations. I have already referred him a few times, and plan to continue doing so for anyone that may be interested in purchasing or selling real estate.

  • Mariam was awesome - and very patient :) - in helping us find the perfect home. We looked at tons of houses, and she was bound and determined to find the right fit for us. She's also SUPER responsive and was willing to help us with her honest opinions when asked. Even though selling our old home was a nightmare (not by any fault of the Lowe team) I would absolutely use this team again.

Ryan always returned our phone calls and kept us posted about the home we were selling. This guy is very knowledgeable.
