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 needed a home very quickly in the state college area. Without meeting me and only having conversation over the phone the Lowe's exceeded our expectations. I was able to fly up for less than 24 hours and put an offer on our home!! Professional, responsive, helpful with everything from schools for kids to grocery stores. Our family is thankful for the Lowe's!!

  • When you list with Linda and Ryan Lowe you have access to an entire team of real estate professionals, they provide terrific customer service. Ryan work late into the night to complete the sale of our home before a holiday weekend. I would not hesitate to use them again.

  • We worked with Ryan after having 2 so-so real estate transactions with other brokers in the past. This was by far the most positive experience. Ryan was very upfront with us about how to aggressively sell our house (we were under contract in less than a week!) and we always felt like he "had our back" when the buyers' agent was trying to pull some bizarre stuff. We will definitely be using him in the future.

  • After receiving a job offer in the Centre Region, a family member recommended we contact the Lowe Team to help us in finding our new home. For several weeks, Mariam Lowe assisted us in finding a home that would meet the needs of our large family. Despite the many stresses that come with moving a family of 7 across the country, Mariam left us assured that we would find a home that would work for our needs and within our budget. It was comforting to know that we were not alone through the home purchasing process and that we had a strong advocate making sure we didn't miss any steps along the way. Mariam went the extra mile in helping us stay on top of our lender to ensure we could close on schedule and move into our new home. Despite the stressful process that purchasing a home can be, the...

  • Experience was great. Mariam was very helpful and enjoyable to work with. She was always available and very patient with our decision making. I purchased my home through Linda and Ryan Lowe and if the time ever came to sell I would again choose them to list our home.
