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 helped my sell my townhouse and buy a new single family home. It was a pleasure to work with him and his entire staff. The Lowe team is incredibly knowledgeable and was always quick to respond. I will and have been recommending Ryan Lowe to anyone I know. And, I can say with 100% certainty that I will use Ryan Lowe in the future for any real estate needs.

  • My experience with Ryan was very positive. He was patient while we looked at many properties, always glad to offer his opinion when asked, but never pushy. We were fortunate that Ryan found the property we eventually purchased. Ryan was also great when the underwriter(s) required ridiculous stipulations. I'm very happy to recommend Ryan to anyone. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

  • We worked with Ryan after having 2 so-so real estate transactions with other brokers in the past. This was by far the most positive experience. Ryan was very upfront with us about how to aggressively sell our house (we were under contract in less than a week!) and we always felt like he "had our back" when the buyers' agent was trying to pull some bizarre stuff. We will definitely be using him in the future.

  • I've worked with Ryan Lowe on several occasions and could not be happier with the service. The team of Linda & Ryan Lowe are professional, courteous and very customer service oriented. You could not ask for a better team to be handling your real estate needs.

  • 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...

  • My husband and I were getting discouraged through our first-home search process until we were referred to Mariam Lowe of the Linda & Ryan Lowe Team. Mariam took our search seriously and wasn't afraid to tell us if a house wouldn't be ideal for us. She responded very quickly to my frequent emails, texts, and calls regarding potential homes (and especially throughout the closing process) and wouldn't hesitate to meet us during evening hours to show homes after our work. Mariam helped us find our perfect first-home in our desired neighborhood at a great negotiated price. We love our house and are very happy making our personal touches. Thank you to the Lowe team for not only letting us use the moving truck,the beautiful blanket and the roses, but for treating us right and showing us homes...
