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.

  • Linda was terrific for us. She got us to make an offer on this house for which the sellers already had a contract; difference was that our contract was contingent on financing versus the other offer contingent on sale of their home. We were nervous that we'd get financing and still have our other mortgage...No problem: Linda sold our home in 2 weeks, our financing was approved and we've been happy here ever since. Linda did a first rate job for us, was rock when we were a bit anxious, never misled us and got us the home we really wanted. Thanks for all you did for us!

  • Ryan and Linda Lowe provided us with quality service during the “relocation” sale of our home. They were prompt, hard working, provided excellent communications, and navigated with precision through the mounds of paperwork required by the Relocation Company. Due to their expertise in real estate sales, and the knowledge of the State College market, we had a full price offer on our home in less than two weeks, making the sale of our home a painless and profitable process.

  • 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.

  • We had such a wonderful experience working with Mariam Lowe to buy our new house. We were living out of state and she was very accommodating with being able to get us multiple showings when we were in the area. Once we found the one we wanted she helped us get everything together and negotiated a great price for our "forever" home. We were so fortunate to find such a wonderful house that had everything we wanted in the State College School District and can't thank her enough. We would definitely recommend working with Mariam to anyone who is in the market for a new house!

  • When we decided it was time to downsize to prepare for retirement, the Lowe's where there to help sell our older home and buy a new condo. Remarkably, this all happened within 90 days, thanks to the expertise of Linda, Mariam and Ryan Lowe. This team worked relentlessly to negotiate the buy-sell of the two properties. They not only met our budget but found the perfect new home as well! They really know the market. What we wanted was the first thing they asked us when we first met. And I can honestly say that throughout the process, my wife and I never once doubted the Lowe's ability to make it happen for us.

  • When we move here from Washington, DC, Linda was the sellers' agent, and Ryan was the buyers' agent for us. Ryan moved us seamlessly through finding a killer house on the Penn State golf course (2nd tee!), coordinating with us while we put our place in DC on the market, working with the myriad of mortgage lenders, home inspectors, etc. and getting us into our home within ONE MONTH of our putting in our offer. There was so much to do, and Ryan was instrumental in getting everything moving, planning contingencies, and doing everything for us long-distance to get all the gears to mesh perfectly. He was incredibly responsive to every question and request, spoke to us honestly about our options and strategy, and worked really hard with all the other players on this end. Far and away the best,...
