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 worked with Ryan directly. He was very nice and polite and very prompt. He did not push us to do any changes to the home like some others had tried making us do. Ryan really understood our unique situation and did everything in his power to help quickly. Highly recommend them to anyone. In the end we decided for personal reasons not to sell.

  • We were new to the area and received excellent support from Team Linda & Ryan Lowe when trying to find a home that suited our needs. Great communication was the key, as they "listened" through the entire process, respected our concerns and ultimately found a home that is perfect. Five stars all the way and recommend them to everyone!!

  • Mariam Lowe was amazing. She had knowledgeable answers to our questions throughout the process. When it came time to negotiate, she used that knowledge to lobby hard for what we wanted. Once we were under contract, she handled absolutely everything that didn't require our express involvement. Looking forward to working with her again!

  • After over 25 years of paying two night minimums at escalating prices for local hotel accommodations while attending various Penn State functions, we contacted Lowe's RE/MAX Centre Realty to inquire into buying opportunities in the State College area. To our delight we were connected with Mariam Lowe. Mariam took the time to listen and understand what we were looking for. She held our hands through the process of evaluating options and was extremely accommodating to our schedule as we visited State College throughout the Fall. Eventually we found a property that met our needs. Mariam proved to be a very effective experienced negotiator on our behalf. She continued to manage all the closing details, right up to actual document signing and us receiving the keys and the "infamous" Lowe...
