| 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.

  • 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.

  • I can't say enough positive about Ryan and Linda. It's been just over 3 years since they helped us find a buy a house and how hard they worked for us STILL impresses us. It's not just the finding a home, but once we found the home we wanted, they were invaluable in helping us find the right professionals to get the house inspected and checked to make sure that nothing was going to surprise us later, and when the FHA required us to paint a brick wall, they helped us find someone who was not just able to do the job, but able to do it NOW.... in the middle of a January snowy day! This was critical for us as we HAD to be out of our old home by a certain deadline and we knew absolutely NO ONE in the area. Without Ryan and Linda's excellent service, we never would have made it! I could go on for...

  • I could not have been happier with the way the whole process went. Ryan was excellent, and there is a reason he and Linda are the best year in and year out. I will recommend him to anyone I know who's buying a home. As a first time home-buyer, I also learned a lot in the process from Ryan. I actually tried another realtor first and could barely get a hold of the guy over email and/or phone...I never had that problem with Ryan. We literally went from looking at the home to going back and forth on an offer until an agreement was reached with the seller’s in about 36 hours.

  • We highly recommend Linda and Ryan Lowe Lowe! We have purchased nine investment properties through Linda and Ryan in the last seven years. They sold six of the properties, which we "flipped." They also sold our own home when we moved out of the area. They helped us list our properties for the right prices and sold them all quickly. We have always been impressed with their professionalism and their commitment to finding the right properties for us. They met our high expectations again and again. We could not find realtors like them when we moved and have called for their input more than once. We have recommended them to many others. They are the only realtors we would work with in Centre County!

  • While we can compliment Ryan's professionalism, knowledge of the market and excellent hand in advising us on the purchase of our home, our greatest recommendation is... he listens!

  • I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Lowe in searching for the perfect house for myself and kids. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable of the industry, the county and does not have the stigma of a pushy Realtor looking to just sell a house to anybody. I felt Ryan and his team always had my back and were honest in sharing their opinions. Ryan made my home purchase go as smooth as could be expected, and when we did hit a few bumps in the road, he stayed by my side until everything was settled. I came to Ryan not having a very high regard for realtors, I am happy to say that Ryan and his team are far from being a usual real a state agent and go above and beyond to assure you find a home that is right for you. Thank you Ryan!
