| 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.

  • 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!

  • Our house-buying experience went extremely smoothly with Ryan as our agent. He was extremely responsive at all times and was very friendly and pleasant to work with. He went above and beyond his duty by assisting us with dealing with post-purchase matters before our move-in date which was invaluable to us as we were relocating from afar. We highly recommend Ryan Lowe and would not hesitate to use him again.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Lowe in searching for the perfect house for myself and kids. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable of the industry, the county and does not have the stigma of a pushy Realtor looking to just sell a house to anybody. I felt Ryan and his team always had my back and were honest in sharing their opinions. Ryan made my home purchase go as smooth as could be expected, and when we did hit a few bumps in the road, he stayed by my side until everything was settled. I came to Ryan not having a very high regard for realtors, I am happy to say that Ryan and his team are far from being a usual real a state agent and go above and beyond to assure you find a home that is right for you. Thank you Ryan!

  • We used Ryan Lowe as our real estate agent in 2008 to purchase a townhouse in State College for our two children who were attending PSU. He was friendly and professional, and we liked his proficiency and conscientiousness so much that we hired him again three years later to sell the townhouse after our children graduated from college. Ryan handled so much of the business end that we did not have to make repeated three hour trips to handle the sale of the house. He was able to communicate a level of real estate expertise to two generations of involved participants, both my wife and I and our two children. His accountability, honesty and efficiency made these two major transactions nearly seamless. I recommend Ryan Lowe without hesitation.

  • We highly recommend Linda and Ryan Lowe Lowe! We have purchased nine investment properties through Linda and Ryan in the last seven years. They sold six of the properties, which we "flipped." They also sold our own home when we moved out of the area. They helped us list our properties for the right prices and sold them all quickly. We have always been impressed with their professionalism and their commitment to finding the right properties for us. They met our high expectations again and again. We could not find realtors like them when we moved and have called for their input more than once. We have recommended them to many others. They are the only realtors we would work with in Centre County!
