| 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.

  • From the moment we decided to buy a house, one of the first teams we kept hearing about was Linda and Ryan Lowe and upon making our decision we have been beyond pleased with the service we received. From the knowledge our Buyer Agent, Mariam Lowe, had about property in the area to her responsiveness to our questions and concerns at all times of the day or night, we were in good hands. As first time home buyers she took really good care of us and walked us through all of the difficult parts and guided us to helping choose our lender, our home inspector, and even our pest control guy. If you are looking to work with a team that is respectful, will spend time getting to know you and your family’s wants and needs, and will go above and beyond to help you and your family make the best...

  • 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.

  • When my Fiance and I decided to purchse our first home together, we wouldnt have even thought of trusting anyone with our Real Estate needs other than Ryan and Linda Lowe. When we ran into the last minute items needed for our closing Ryan stepped up to the plate and made sure he was there around the clock for us. The Lowes are truly experienced professionals and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

  • We have worked with the Lowe group several times and they are always extremely responsive and professional. We worked with Mariam for over a year to find the "right" house with a large lot. She was always very patient and had our best interest in mind--there was never any pressure to purchase a home even as the search went from weeks to months to over a year. Mariam was extremely responsive and was always quick to get us in to view homes as soon as they came on the market. She was willing to give her professional opinion to help us make an educated home buying decision. I recommend her and the entire Lowe group to everyone in the area who needs to sell or buy a home. We will be using them again in the future if we ever have additional real estate needs!!!
