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 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.

We needed a home very quickly in the state college area. Without meeting me and only having conversation over the phone the Lowe's exceeded our expectations. I was able to fly up for less than 24 hours and put an offer on our home!! Professional, responsive, helpful with everything from schools for kids to grocery stores. Our family is thankful for the Lowe's!!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Mariam Lowe to buy our new house. We were living out of state and she was very accommodating with being able to get us multiple showings when we were in the area. Once we found the one we wanted she helped us get everything together and negotiated a great price for our "forever" home. We were so fortunate to find such a wonderful house that had everything we wanted in the State College School District and can't thank her enough. We would definitely recommend working with Mariam to anyone who is in the market for a new house!

Ryan was my agent for buying a house. They took care of almost everything including small details like setting up an account with the borough for water/sewage/trash. Buying a house can be stressful but with them it was no problem at all!

Mariam Lowe was amazing. She had knowledgeable answers to our questions throughout the process. When it came time to negotiate, she used that knowledge to lobby hard for what we wanted. Once we were under contract, she handled absolutely everything that didn't require our express involvement. Looking forward to working with her again!
