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.

  • Linda was terrific for us. She got us to make an offer on this house for which the sellers already had a contract; difference was that our contract was contingent on financing versus the other offer contingent on sale of their home. We were nervous that we'd get financing and still have our other mortgage...No problem: Linda sold our home in 2 weeks, our financing was approved and we've been happy here ever since. Linda did a first rate job for us, was rock when we were a bit anxious, never misled us and got us the home we really wanted. Thanks for all you did for us!

  • Went above and beyond to find properties that met our specific needs. Found properties that we had already passed over. We ended up buying a house we assumed we went interested in.

  • Our house-buying experience went extremely smoothly with Ryan as our agent. He was extremely responsive at all times and was very friendly and pleasant to work with. He went above and beyond his duty by assisting us with dealing with post-purchase matters before our move-in date which was invaluable to us as we were relocating from afar. We highly recommend Ryan Lowe and would not hesitate to use him again.

  • We were first time home buyers and moved from out of state. My husband made the following comment, which exemplifies our experience in working with Ryan, "I not only feel that we gained a realtor, but a friend." As first time buyers, we naturally had a million questions and not one went unanswered. I jokingly commented that Ryan never slept because his response time was impeccable. Ryan and his team made our experience more than positive and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Centre County. Their knowledge, experience and community involvement is evident. Fantastic realtors and fantastic people!

  • I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking to buy/sell real estate. We enlisted Ryan's help to sell our first home in early 2011. Great to work with is an understatement when describing Ryan and his team. Ryan was available 24/7 to answer any of our questions and to find creative ways to market our property. He made the stress of the buying and selling process extremely easy.

  • 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.
