| 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.

  • I tell everyone about the great experience i had! I have referred multiple people, and will continue to in the future! I never felt like i was annoying, or bothering, and was always reassured that I could call with any question, or concern no matter what time, or what day it was. Ryan even helped me with things he didn't have to...now that's above and beyond customer service! I've thanked them multiple times, but once again Thank You!!!

  • 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.

  • Linda was terrific for us. She got us to make an offer on this house for which the sellers already had a contract; difference was that our contract was contingent on financing versus the other offer contingent on sale of their home. We were nervous that we'd get financing and still have our other mortgage...No problem: Linda sold our home in 2 weeks, our financing was approved and we've been happy here ever since. Linda did a first rate job for us, was rock when we were a bit anxious, never misled us and got us the home we really wanted. Thanks for all you did for us!

  • Ryan Lowe worked with us on two real estate transactions, a townhouse purchase and a townhouse sale. He is personable, conscientious, professional and efficient. Ryan's knowledge of the process and ability to communicate with us concerning the things to do proved invaluable. In a slow market his advice helped us to buy and sell quickly. He made the process nearly seamless, and we certainly appreciate all the hard work he did to make things go smoothly. Ryan Lowe is an experienced professional, and we were very pleased with his knowledge and proficiency.

  • I was referred to Linda & Ryan Lowe by a friend of mine when I was looking to buy a townhouse as a first-time home buyer. Mariam Lowe was my buyer's agent and she was phenomenal! She was very patient with me to explain the home-buying process and was honest with me the entire time (even pointing out negative points about some properties I looked at that I'm glad I didn't buy). I loved that she was very quick to respond to my emails (almost immediate) and helped me negotiate to a buying price I was able to afford. I would definitely go with Lowe Realty again if I need to buy or sell. I highly recommend them to anyone.

  • My husband and I were in the process of relocating to the State College area and came across Ryan's sister hosting an open house. She gave us Ryan's card and we never looked back! Ryan has the patience of a saint and has a way of being so supportive especially during a stressful time with moving. Ryan always made time to show us homes when we were up for the weekend, without hesitation. Ryan even took the time after we made an offer to let my mom see the house when she came down to visit us. Ryan, being from the area, knew where to take us from our laundry list of wants and needs. He is very knowledgeable not only with the area, but also gave us many recommendations on who to call for little upgrades that we wanted to do. I would recommend Ryan and Linda to anyone and I consider them our...
