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 could not have been happier with the way the whole process went. Ryan was excellent, and there is a reason he and Linda are the best year in and year out. I will recommend him to anyone I know who's buying a home. As a first time home-buyer, I also learned a lot in the process from Ryan. I actually tried another realtor first and could barely get a hold of the guy over email and/or phone...I never had that problem with Ryan. We literally went from looking at the home to going back and forth on an offer until an agreement was reached with the seller’s in about 36 hours.

  • 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.

  • 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...
