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 was awesome in working with us. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and told us when we were looking at houses that were overpriced a bit. She was great about finding comps so we could put in a competitive but fair offer, and when it came to negotiations she had our back the entire time! She helped us find a house that was absolutely perfect for us! We couldn't be more happy!!!

  • As a first time buyer I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into. Mariam Lowe guided me through the process from start to finish. She helped me find the perfect house for me, kept me in the loop regarding the process, and made sure I had everything I was required to do submitted correctly and on time. Every question I had was promptly answered and every concern was looked into and resolved. I highly recommend Mariam as a buyer's agent!

  • I was referred to Linda & Ryan Lowe by a friend of mine when I was looking to buy a townhouse as a first-time home buyer. Mariam Lowe was my buyer's agent and she was phenomenal! She was very patient with me to explain the home-buying process and was honest with me the entire time (even pointing out negative points about some properties I looked at that I'm glad I didn't buy). I loved that she was very quick to respond to my emails (almost immediate) and helped me negotiate to a buying price I was able to afford. I would definitely go with Lowe Realty again if I need to buy or sell. I highly recommend them to anyone.

  • My husband and I were getting discouraged through our first-home search process until we were referred to Mariam Lowe of the Linda & Ryan Lowe Team. Mariam took our search seriously and wasn't afraid to tell us if a house wouldn't be ideal for us. She responded very quickly to my frequent emails, texts, and calls regarding potential homes (and especially throughout the closing process) and wouldn't hesitate to meet us during evening hours to show homes after our work. Mariam helped us find our perfect first-home in our desired neighborhood at a great negotiated price. We love our house and are very happy making our personal touches. Thank you to the Lowe team for not only letting us use the moving truck,the beautiful blanket and the roses, but for treating us right and showing us homes...

  • We have sold two homes and bought twice with Linda & Ryan Lowe - once in 2004 and again in 2013. They are top notch in customer service. I feel like Ryan went above and beyond to make our experience a pleasant one. That was not easy since we sold a house and bought one with a same day closing both times! I wouldn't recommend anyone else!
