| 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.

  • Linda and Ryan have sold two homes for me over the years and helped me purchase a third. They are professionals with a network that allows for the amazing to happen. Whether it is performing under inflexible time deadlines or handling stringent price requirements with little flexibility, they always manage to get it done and meet every requirement or special request. They are the "go to" realtors!

  • Linda & Ryan Lowe are very experienced realtors and absolutely wonderful to work with. In fact, we have listed our last two homes with them and both were quick & easy transactions.

  • Mariam was awesome - and very patient :) - in helping us find the perfect home. We looked at tons of houses, and she was bound and determined to find the right fit for us. She's also SUPER responsive and was willing to help us with her honest opinions when asked. Even though selling our old home was a nightmare (not by any fault of the Lowe team) I would absolutely use this team again.

  • Everything was done in the best interest for the client, every detail and explanation was well explained and made a very comfortable feeling. As a first a first time home buyer, I leaned on Ryan Lowe at every moment of the purchase and he treated the whole process as if he were buying the home for himself. Every detail was brought to my attention (positive & negative) and couldn't be happier with my new home!

  • We cannot say enough about everything that Ryan did for us. We moved into the area from out of state and did not know where to start. Ryan worked with us every step of the way, helping us to get to know the area and the market. He even picked me up from my hotel on my first visit to State College and took me to see several properties so I could get a feel for the area. He did not seem to care that we had a low budget for our home purchase. He put so much time in that you would think we were buying a million dollar home. He was an excellent negotiator, was extremely knowledgeable about the entire county, and worked hard to keep us on our tight timeline. He even helped us when our mortgage company became problematic. We cannot say enough about Ryan and everyone that works at his office. We...
