| 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.

  • Ryan was great at being very willing to show us a bunch of houses in chunks. Once he knew our price point and the type of houses & neighborhoods we were interested in, he did a great job at identifying a number of houses we should look at. He also never pressured us into putting in an offer -- this was huge for me.

  • Even though I never met Ryan or Linda, I always felt that they had been very professional, prompt, understanding and immediately on top of the subject. Within 21 days we had an offer and we closed within a months. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Thank you so much for all your efforts again. All the best in the future. You are the best!

  • 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!
