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 will definately recommend Linda and Ryan Lowes/ ReMax Centre Realty to EVERYONE buying and selling. I had the pleasure of meeting with Mariam Lowe and from the beginning she was knowledgeable, understanding, and was always reachable through the phone, email . She was prompt and a professional in the field of Realty! We closed on my second home in Philipsburg,PA (Centre County ,PA ) on time. I would not have been able to do this "on time” without Mariam. I love my new house and can't wait to add new memories and make it my home. If you are looking to buy in Centre County, I highly recommend Mariam Lowe. Thank you Mariam for making it happen.

  • We relocated to South Carolina and had to sell our house in Pennsylvania while living out-of-state. Ryan Lowe was there for every step of the process, answered all of our questions, and even negotiated the offer Memorial Day! We really appreciated the email notifications for every showing, and the follow-up emails that provided feedback from the potential buyers. Ryan also kept us apprised of every update, attended the inspection, and went to closing on our behalf. Our only regret is he can't help us buy our new home in South Carolina.

  • Mariam was, in a word, GREAT! She kept us up to date with all potential homes we were interested in and wasn't afraid to offer her own opinion to help guide us along the way when necessary. She was always available to us, even outside of "normal" business hours" - which was good for us, since that was when WE had the time to turn our attention to the home buying process. We were from out of town, and Mariam was able to tee everything up for us to make our trips to State College as productive as possible -- from well timed/organized showings to a very smooth settlement process. We couldn't be happier. In fact, we have already had Mariam help us with the purchase of a piece of land and subsequent home on that land.

  • 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 worked with Mariam Lowe. She was our buyer's agent and did an excellent job. She helped us make an informed offer and helped us negotiate and navigate the process. She was very knowledgeable and helped us understand each step in a very long drawn out negotiation.
