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.

  • 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.

  • We were looking to buy our first home and we were glad we had Ryan to help us through the process. He was accessible at all times, answered every question we had and explained each process. Ryan quickly figured out exactly what we were looking for and tailored our visits to match our requirements. When it came time to make an offer, I was glad Ryan was in our corner. We closed well below the asking price and comfortably inside of our budget. As we worked through the closing process Ryan was again incredibly helpful and took the time to explain each process. He made sure we had everything we needed so that at closing we were over prepared, which made the close very smooth. I could not be more pleased with our experience and I highly recommend Ryan to anyone in need of a Realtor.

  • Mariam was awesome in working with us. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and told us when we were looking at houses that were overpriced a bit. She was great about finding comps so we could put in a competitive but fair offer, and when it came to negotiations she had our back the entire time! She helped us find a house that was absolutely perfect for us! We couldn't be more happy!!!

  • We relocated to South Carolina and had to sell our house in Pennsylvania while living out-of-state. Ryan Lowe was there for every step of the process, answered all of our questions, and even negotiated the offer Memorial Day! We really appreciated the email notifications for every showing, and the follow-up emails that provided feedback from the potential buyers. Ryan also kept us apprised of every update, attended the inspection, and went to closing on our behalf. Our only regret is he can't help us buy our new home in South Carolina.
