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.

  • 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.

  • Ryan was incredibly helpful and very patient. My husband and I were trying to buy a home with one of us living in Pennsylvania and the other in Oklahoma, which made things more difficult. But, Ryan worked with us in the short period of time we had to find the perfect home then guided us through every step of the negotiation process and eventually closing. Ryan and his team always went above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend their team to anyone looking to buy a home in the central PA area.
