| 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 needed a home very quickly in the state college area. Without meeting me and only having conversation over the phone the Lowe's exceeded our expectations. I was able to fly up for less than 24 hours and put an offer on our home!! Professional, responsive, helpful with everything from schools for kids to grocery stores. Our family is thankful for the Lowe's!!

  • Ryan handled everything for us. Selling a home was made so easy through him. We had nothing to worry about, Ryan handled everything. Ryan answered all of our questions when we met with him. Ryan always returned our phone calls and kept us posted about the home we were selling. This guy is very knowledgeable.

  • 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!

  • Ryan is a great realtor and communicator. His knowledge of the local area was impressive and he was always responsive to my husband and I in the process of buying our first house. Even when we asked him a million (and at times, silly) questions, Ryan was patient and understanding and I never felt pressured. He did a wonderful job of walking us through the steps it takes to buy a house and we felt that he truly cared about finding us the right house for us. Oh, there were bumps in the road in terms of buying our first house, but I always felt as though Ryan was on our side and made sure to present all of the options and then let us choose the path to the future. I loved how when showing us a house, he let us do the exploring instead of leading us around. I would highly recommend Ryan and...
