| 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.

  • 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...

  • We've bought two houses with Ryan's assistance and sold one. Each time it has been a great experience and it's obvious he really knows the local market. He is very big on communication and has offered excellent advice countless times for a variety of home improvement projects.

  • Even though I never met Ryan or Linda, I always felt that they had been very professional, prompt, understanding and immediately on top of the subject. Within 21 days we had an offer and we closed within a months. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Thank you so much for all your efforts again. All the best in the future. You are the best!

  • 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!

  • Ryan was great at being very willing to show us a bunch of houses in chunks. Once he knew our price point and the type of houses & neighborhoods we were interested in, he did a great job at identifying a number of houses we should look at. He also never pressured us into putting in an offer -- this was huge for me.
