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 extremely professional yet down to earth and easy to talk to. He was not overbearing in the home buying process which made it easier for us. My husband and I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home!

  • Very professional. Helped us look at over a dozen houses without any complaints and helped us through buying our first home. Ryan also taught us what to expect with buying our first house and when to do everything needed with buying a new house.

  • Ryan worked with me for almost a year before I found the house that was right for me. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful with his suggestions and knowledge of the housing market. He was very accommodating and flexible. He always worked around my schedule and when he couldn't he made sure that someone could. I would highly recommend Ryan Lowe to anyone looking to purchase or sell property.

  • Ryan worked with me every step of the way in the search for my house. As a first time home buyer, I wanted somebody on my side that I could trust. He had a good working relationship with the bank and inspector I chose. I have already recommended Ryan to others and no doubt will continue to recommend him. Thanks again Ryan.

  • Ryan and Linda Lowe provided us with quality service during the “relocation” sale of our home. They were prompt, hard working, provided excellent communications, and navigated with precision through the mounds of paperwork required by the Relocation Company. Due to their expertise in real estate sales, and the knowledge of the State College market, we had a full price offer on our home in less than two weeks, making the sale of our home a painless and profitable process.

  • Ryan was the dual agent(his mother the seller's agent) for my first house purchased in July 2012. Being a foreigner with fewer than 5 years in the U.S, most of which was spent in bad grad school rental properties, I had very limited experience with every aspect of housing. Ryan was patient enough to explain everything in layman's terms to help me get a good foothold on them. I have nothing negative to say at all. It was a great experience.
