| 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.

  • 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.

  • My wife and I were in the process of looking for our first home. Ryan was wonderful to work with during the whole process. He was very flexible with working with our schedules and was very quick to respond to any questions about the home search process. It did not matter any day of the week or hour of the day. I will recommend working with Linda and Ryan Lowe every time for looking for a new home.

  • We were looking to buy our first home and we were glad we had Ryan to help us through the process. He was accessible at all times, answered every question we had and explained each process. Ryan quickly figured out exactly what we were looking for and tailored our visits to match our requirements. When it came time to make an offer, I was glad Ryan was in our corner. We closed well below the asking price and comfortably inside of our budget. As we worked through the closing process Ryan was again incredibly helpful and took the time to explain each process. He made sure we had everything we needed so that at closing we were over prepared, which made the close very smooth. I could not be more pleased with our experience and I highly recommend Ryan to anyone in need of a Realtor.

  • 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!

  • We honestly could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and helpful realtor than Ryan, along with everyone else in the office. Not only did he know the market and the process inside and out, as well as give us excellent and honest advice, Ryan was available for any little issue regarding the process, all the way down to recommending a good local handyman. You can't go wrong!

  • Ryan worked with me for almost a year before I found the house that was right for me. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful with his suggestions and knowledge of the housing market. He was very accommodating and flexible. He always worked around my schedule and when he couldn't he made sure that someone could. I would highly recommend Ryan Lowe to anyone looking to purchase or sell property.
