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 Lowe was a great asset in the sale of my parents home. He made me feel as though I was his only client. He was readily available and always returned my calls promptly. He even helped arrange for help with cleaning out last minute items from the home. I highly recommend Ryan.

  • Our experience with Mariam was outstanding. She quickly zeroed in on our desires and gave us continuous updates on available properties. She was very responsive to our scheduling requirements. We would be pleased to recommend her to anyone looking for property in the State College area.

  • We used Ryan Lowe as our real estate agent in 2008 to purchase a townhouse in State College for our two children who were attending PSU. He was friendly and professional, and we liked his proficiency and conscientiousness so much that we hired him again three years later to sell the townhouse after our children graduated from college. Ryan handled so much of the business end that we did not have to make repeated three hour trips to handle the sale of the house. He was able to communicate a level of real estate expertise to two generations of involved participants, both my wife and I and our two children. His accountability, honesty and efficiency made these two major transactions nearly seamless. I recommend Ryan Lowe without hesitation.

  • Linda and Ryan have sold two homes for me over the years and helped me purchase a third. They are professionals with a network that allows for the amazing to happen. Whether it is performing under inflexible time deadlines or handling stringent price requirements with little flexibility, they always manage to get it done and meet every requirement or special request. They are the "go to" realtors!

  • 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.

  • Being first time home buyers, my girlfriend and I had little experience with the real estate transfer process and it seemed daunting at first, but Mariam Lowe went out of her way to make sure we truly understood every step along the way and ended up with the perfect home. When we first met her, Mariam gave off a warm vibe and was very personable, but also very down-to-business and professional. Mariam was prompt, early to all showings, knowledgeable of the properties, and most importantly, completely honest and open about all property information. She was engaged in understanding what my girlfriend and I truly wanted in a home, and cared that we end up in the right home, rather than just a home. When we had found the right home, we put an offer on it, but another offer came in at the same...
