| 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.

  • 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...

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Being first time home buyers, my girlfriend and I had little experience with the real estate transfer process and it seemed daunting at first, but Mariam Lowe went out of her way to make sure we truly understood every step along the way and ended up with the perfect home. When we first met her, Mariam gave off a warm vibe and was very personable, but also very down-to-business and professional. Mariam was prompt, early to all showings, knowledgeable of the properties, and most importantly, completely honest and open about all property information. She was engaged in understanding what my girlfriend and I truly wanted in a home, and cared that we end up in the right home, rather than just a home. When we had found the right home, we put an offer on it, but another offer came in at the same...

  • Mariam was just the best! She dealt with the trauma while shielding us from it until it was over. She was always available to us and, while it is always stressful to buy a new home, she made it fun! AND (I wish I had video) she cleans stainless steel! Thanks for everything Mariam! Our place is perfect!
