25 Years and Counting: Our Story
1995
Lynn Holley Real Estate
Lynn Holley, a visionary developer and our founder, obtains her real estate license to sell the properties she develops.
Over the next three decades, Lynn becomes Madison's trusted "historian" in real estate, building our company into a respected local institution known for its personalized service and unmatched local expertise.
2018 - 2020
A Fresh Perspective
Mari Slobounov joins Lynn Holley Real Estate, bringing a wealth of experience from living in various cities across the US.
Their partnership forms a dynamic duo, blending Lynn's deep historical knowledge of Madison with Mari's “new in town” excitement, creating a team that can relate to any client, from long-time residents to newcomers.
2020-2023
LH Real Estate
Our team expands organically, attracting more team members and agents who evolve into crucial roles. Eventually, Mari becomes a co-owner, and ultimately the sole owner, with Lynn onboard as an important advisor and forever mentor.
Reflecting this growth, our company transitions from Lynn Holley Real Estate to the more streamlined LH Real Estate.

"Living in Madison"
Mari launches her "Living in Madison" social media account as a passion project to share her love for the city.
It quickly gains traction, resonating with locals and newcomers alike, and becomes a cornerstone of the team's community-focused approach.

A New Era
Inspired by our community, we fully embrace our new identity as Living in Madison Real Estate.
This name reflects our evolution from a traditional real estate company to community connectors and lifestyle curators, while honoring the roots our founder, Lynn Holley, planted nearly three decades ago.
About our founder, Lynn Holley
In 1995, Lynn Holley laid the foundation for what would become Living in Madison. More than a realtor, Lynn was a visionary who saw beyond properties to the stories they could tell. Her deep love for Madison and encyclopedic knowledge of its neighborhoods became the cornerstone of our company's philosophy.
Lynn's legacy isn't just in her impressive sales figures or top rankings, but in the approach she instilled: treating each client as a unique individual with their own Madison story to write.
At Living in Madison, we're proud to build on the strong foundation Lynn created, helping new generations find their perfect place in the city she knows and loves so well.
