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.

  • Mariam Lowe was amazing. She had knowledgeable answers to our questions throughout the process. When it came time to negotiate, she used that knowledge to lobby hard for what we wanted. Once we were under contract, she handled absolutely everything that didn't require our express involvement. Looking forward to working with her again!

  • We had such a wonderful experience working with Mariam Lowe to buy our new house. We were living out of state and she was very accommodating with being able to get us multiple showings when we were in the area. Once we found the one we wanted she helped us get everything together and negotiated a great price for our "forever" home. We were so fortunate to find such a wonderful house that had everything we wanted in the State College School District and can't thank her enough. We would definitely recommend working with Mariam to anyone who is in the market for a new house!

Ryan always returned our phone calls and kept us posted about the home we were selling. This guy is very knowledgeable.

  • I highly recommend Ryan and Linda Lowe and the Lowe team for the purchase and sale of a home in Centre County. Our most recent experience with the Lowe team was the sale of our house. We got an honest and accurate assessment of the value of our home . The biggest thing that stands out about the Ryan and Linda's listings is the online presentation. The photography and write up are above and beyond anything you see from other local agents, especially at our price point. The Lowe's sold our home in 2 weeks, in the winter, and I think the online listing was a major contributor. The other major advantage to using the Lowe's is the level of organization and service provided by the entire team. Ryan and Linda were very accommodating of our schedule with young children, and were always on the same...

  • Mariam helped me purchase a home and she was awesome in helping me with the offer negotiating the terms of repair from the house inspection and having the home owner fix all the main issues before we agreed to buy the home. She was very professional in helping us out no matter what the time of day. We would talk at 12am 6am 8am 3pm 8pm or 11pm. If needed, she was there for any questions or concerns. Very satisfied and will refer to future home buyers.
