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.

  • Experience was great. Mariam was very helpful and enjoyable to work with. She was always available and very patient with our decision making. I purchased my home through Linda and Ryan Lowe and if the time ever came to sell I would again choose them to list our home.

  • We worked with Ryan after having 2 so-so real estate transactions with other brokers in the past. This was by far the most positive experience. Ryan was very upfront with us about how to aggressively sell our house (we were under contract in less than a week!) and we always felt like he "had our back" when the buyers' agent was trying to pull some bizarre stuff. We will definitely be using him in the future.

  • Ryan is a high energy professional that works for you on both sides of the transaction. His local knowledge and customer oriented approach make all the difference.

  • Ryan was super to work with from beginning to end. He is very knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond the call of duty to respond ASAP. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell real estate

  • Mariam was just the best! She dealt with the trauma while shielding us from it until it was over. She was always available to us and, while it is always stressful to buy a new home, she made it fun! AND (I wish I had video) she cleans stainless steel! Thanks for everything Mariam! Our place is perfect!

  • I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Lowe in searching for the perfect house for myself and kids. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable of the industry, the county and does not have the stigma of a pushy Realtor looking to just sell a house to anybody. I felt Ryan and his team always had my back and were honest in sharing their opinions. Ryan made my home purchase go as smooth as could be expected, and when we did hit a few bumps in the road, he stayed by my side until everything was settled. I came to Ryan not having a very high regard for realtors, I am happy to say that Ryan and his team are far from being a usual real a state agent and go above and beyond to assure you find a home that is right for you. Thank you Ryan!
