| 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.

  • 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.

  • As a first time home buyer, I received recommendations by many people in the local area to contact Ryan Lowe as I pursued my first home. Ryan's expertise and step by step explanations were far and beyond what I have expected from a realtor in this process. Not knowing what I was getting into, at all, Ryan was always clear and concise with his true and honest opinion no matter if his explanations would turn me off to the specific house, and continue my search. He not only worked countless hours with me over a 2 1/2 month time span but made sure throughout my buying process I have kept up to date with approvals, inspection details, and my personal progress of completing minute tasks for the property. I have yet to come across any home buyer who has worked with Ryan who's had any different...

  • Ryan was great to work with. Very quick and getting back to us, and keeping his answers simple for us to understand. He did very good job in educating us about his recommendations. I have already referred him a few times, and plan to continue doing so for anyone that may be interested in purchasing or selling real estate.

  • 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!

  • 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!
