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.

  • My husband and I only had one day to come up to the area to look at homes. Luckily, Linda and Ryan's team (Mariam) were able to help us out quickly and efficiently, and we didn't have any trouble settling on the house and negotiating with the sellers. Their expertise helped remove a lot of the stress involved in our move.

  • 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.

  • As a first time buyer I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into. Mariam Lowe guided me through the process from start to finish. She helped me find the perfect house for me, kept me in the loop regarding the process, and made sure I had everything I was required to do submitted correctly and on time. Every question I had was promptly answered and every concern was looked into and resolved. I highly recommend Mariam as a buyer's agent!

  • We have worked with the Lowe group several times and they are always extremely responsive and professional. We worked with Mariam for over a year to find the "right" house with a large lot. She was always very patient and had our best interest in mind--there was never any pressure to purchase a home even as the search went from weeks to months to over a year. Mariam was extremely responsive and was always quick to get us in to view homes as soon as they came on the market. She was willing to give her professional opinion to help us make an educated home buying decision. I recommend her and the entire Lowe group to everyone in the area who needs to sell or buy a home. We will be using them again in the future if we ever have additional real estate needs!!!
