With nearly two decades of experience in Chicagoland real estate, Mary Serle brings equal parts drive, compassion and expertise to every transaction. As a member of the Serle-Holden Team, she has built a business rooted in relationships — often serving clients for life, from their first home to their next chapter.

Serle’s real estate journey began as a natural extension of her family roots. A lifelong suburban resident, she learned her markets one successful transaction at a time, quickly earning a reputation for tenacity, professionalism and heartfelt advocacy. Known for treating every client like family, she offers guidance that’s honest and informed — combining digital marketing savvy with trusted print and in-person strategies. Sellers benefit from her sharp eye for presentation, while buyers rely on her straightforward advice and clear, step-by-step approach.

Her client base is driven largely by referrals and includes first-time buyers, downsizers, investors and military families — especially meaningful for Serle, the proud mother of a veteran. She’s a multiyear recipient of the Five Star Professional award (2014–2025) and Fortune magazine’s Real Estate Legend award (2022–2025), and is a member of the National Association of Realtors and the Naperville Chamber of Commerce.

Serle is passionate about serving those who serve, volunteering in veteran-support efforts whenever she can. When she’s not working, she’s likely traveling to Florida or enjoying the outdoors with family. Her clients often say they feel not only protected, but also empowered, because with Mary Serle, real estate is personal.
