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 great to work with from start-to-finish! Our home sold quickly, the entire process went smoothly and we were kept informed at all times. The whole team was responsive and professional. Highly recommend!!!

  • Linda and Ryan's team helped my wife and I make a short-distance move, within the State College area. Our growing family required an upgrade. And, even though the process of listing/selling our old home and finding/purchasing our new one took almost nine months, their expertise and knowledge of the market came through for us on both ends! The toughest part was finding a buyer for our old home, because it was a small, two-bedroom "starter" unit. But in the Autumn of 2011, Linda found a client that was a perfect match for it. Other realtors had called and arranged showing appointments, but Linda came through big time for us. And now that we've been in our new home for four months, we couldn't be happier!

They are the "go to" realtors!

  • Nobody in the area is more knowledgeable about the real estate in Central PA than Linda and Ryan Lowe. I am currently in the process of purchasing my second home through them and I couldn't be happier with their service.

  • We cannot say enough about everything that Ryan did for us. We moved into the area from out of state and did not know where to start. Ryan worked with us every step of the way, helping us to get to know the area and the market. He even picked me up from my hotel on my first visit to State College and took me to see several properties so I could get a feel for the area. He did not seem to care that we had a low budget for our home purchase. He put so much time in that you would think we were buying a million dollar home. He was an excellent negotiator, was extremely knowledgeable about the entire county, and worked hard to keep us on our tight timeline. He even helped us when our mortgage company became problematic. We cannot say enough about Ryan and everyone that works at his office. We...
