| 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.

  • 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!

  • Ryan is the BEST! He is so wonderful to work with, very patient and laid back, yet knows exactly what he is doing and can answer any question you have. He will even bring in contractors to get estimates if there is construction you would like to do on a home you are considering buying.

  • We relocated to Centre County, and Mariam Lowe was our realtor. She was fabulous! She always answered our calls and texts, very timely, and was so pleasant and knowledgable. We felt comfortable with her from the beginning, and went to closing on our new home with a feeling that we had a new friend. I would highly recommend her!

  • Very professional. Helped us look at over a dozen houses without any complaints and helped us through buying our first home. Ryan also taught us what to expect with buying our first house and when to do everything needed with buying a new house.

  • My husband and I were sure that our home would take a very long time to sell, because we had started remodeling it and were not able to complete the renovations before we needed to relocate for my husband’s work. Ryan knew exactly how to list the home and also was able to convey to other realtors what a great value our home actually was. We signed a seller’s agreement with the new home owners in one week from Ryan actually listing our home and posting the "For Sale" in our yard. We also received almost full asking price, which was completely amazing to us. I would highly recommend Ryan to all my friends and family!

  • We worked with Ryan to purchase our first home. Ryan and his team are truly fantastic. To sum up our experiences with Ryan, we would highlight the following four characteristics: 1) Professionalism – First and foremost, Ryan and his team show a great deal of professionalism at every step of the process. 2) Timeliness – Ryan epitomizes being “on the ball.” He answered us with thorough, helpful responses at nearly any time of the day. 3) Friendliness – Ryan is friendly and easy to get along with. He cares about his customers, and that shines through his interactions during the home buying process. 4) Attention to detail – Ryan doesn’t miss a beat. He knows the business very well and takes extra time and attention to ensure the process is carried out accurately and efficiently.
