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.

  • I have used Ryan as my buying agent to purchase two homes in the State College area. I've had a lot of friends complain about how much work goes into buying a home. I didn't have that experience at all because Ryan was willing to do anything and everything to make the process as easy on me as possible. I plan to use Ryan anytime I have to buy or sell a home in the State College area. I don't think it is possible to find a better real estate agent!

  • I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Lowe in searching for the perfect house for myself and kids. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable of the industry, the county and does not have the stigma of a pushy Realtor looking to just sell a house to anybody. I felt Ryan and his team always had my back and were honest in sharing their opinions. Ryan made my home purchase go as smooth as could be expected, and when we did hit a few bumps in the road, he stayed by my side until everything was settled. I came to Ryan not having a very high regard for realtors, I am happy to say that Ryan and his team are far from being a usual real a state agent and go above and beyond to assure you find a home that is right for you. Thank you Ryan!

  • While we can compliment Ryan's professionalism, knowledge of the market and excellent hand in advising us on the purchase of our home, our greatest recommendation is... he listens!

  • I can't say enough positive things about my experience working with Team Linda & Ryan Lowe! Mariam Lowe was AMAZING! As a first time homebuyer, she worked hard to find my family and I the home of our dreams and respecting our budget. ANYONE looking to buy or sell in the Centre Region should definitely give Team Lowe a try; I know Mariam and her team worked hard to ensure my family and I recieved the best deal on our home. Mariam personally attended all meetings, both formal and informal and represented my family in a positive manner. I never had to worry about whether or not I was in good hands.

  • 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!

  • Ryan did an amazing job selling our house. He gave us a fair estimate of it's value (which was higher than we expected) and it was under contract in 10 days. He navigated through the home inspection and when the buyers initially asked us to do some work which we felt was unreasonable, he took care of all of it and we ended up not needing to do any work or re-negotiate the price. If we had tried to sell it on our own, we would have listed it for a lower price and had more trouble negotiating. If we ever move back to the area, we will use him again and would recommend no one else to our friends.
