| 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.

  • We had to negotiate and sell long distance, and the Lowe team made it so simple for us that we barely noticed the transaction was happening. Their advice about how to prepare the house for listing was spot on- they didn't have us do things that were unnecessary but chose things that really made a difference. They took care of every detail for us, I can't thank them enough.

  • I tell everyone about the great experience i had! I have referred multiple people, and will continue to in the future! I never felt like i was annoying, or bothering, and was always reassured that I could call with any question, or concern no matter what time, or what day it was. Ryan even helped me with things he didn't have to...now that's above and beyond customer service! I've thanked them multiple times, but once again Thank You!!!

  • I worked on several negotiations with Ryan when I bought a house in 2010. He represented me extremely well. From being on the phone talking through negotiations and paperwork late into the night to negotiating aggressively on my behalf, Ryan demonstrated over and over his commitment to me as his client. In the years since the purchase Ryan has continued to be responsive to my searches for additional properties and even available for general advice on real estate questions. I recommend Ryan and his team enthusiastically and without reservation.

  • Ryan is the BEST! He is so wonderful to work with, very patient and laid back, yet knows exactly what he is doing and can answer any question you have. He will even bring in contractors to get estimates if there is construction you would like to do on a home you are considering buying.

  • We relocated to Centre County, and Mariam Lowe was our realtor. She was fabulous! She always answered our calls and texts, very timely, and was so pleasant and knowledgable. We felt comfortable with her from the beginning, and went to closing on our new home with a feeling that we had a new friend. I would highly recommend her!
