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.

  • We worked with Ryan to purchase our first home. Ryan and his team are truly fantastic. To sum up our experiences with Ryan, we would highlight the following four characteristics: 1) Professionalism – First and foremost, Ryan and his team show a great deal of professionalism at every step of the process. 2) Timeliness – Ryan epitomizes being “on the ball.” He answered us with thorough, helpful responses at nearly any time of the day. 3) Friendliness – Ryan is friendly and easy to get along with. He cares about his customers, and that shines through his interactions during the home buying process. 4) Attention to detail – Ryan doesn’t miss a beat. He knows the business very well and takes extra time and attention to ensure the process is carried out accurately and efficiently.

  • We had to negotiate and sell long distance, and the Lowe team made it so simple for us that we barely noticed the transaction was happening. Their advice about how to prepare the house for listing was spot on- they didn't have us do things that were unnecessary but chose things that really made a difference. They took care of every detail for us, I can't thank them enough.

  • 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...
