Melissa Mayer - Associate Broker

Becoming a Realtor has always felt like my true calling—but I knew I needed life experience first to build the confidence and knowledge to truly serve others. I earned a degree in Marketing from Nicolet College in Rhinelander and began my professional journey with the St. Germain Chamber of Commerce. There, I had the privilege of promoting the beautiful area I both lived and played in.

Driven by a love for adventure and a curiosity about the world, I transitioned into the travel industry with Lakeland Travel & Cruises in Minocqua. It was a perfect fit—I had the opportunity to explore new places and help others plan their own dream getaways. After the birth of our second child, I chose to step back and focus on family life during those precious early years.

During that time, my husband Bill and I took on countless home improvement projects at our home on Squirrel Lake, just north of Minocqua. From plumbing and attic insulation to landscaping and installing a new septic system, we gained invaluable hands-on experience with nearly every aspect of home ownership. These experiences now allow me to guide my clients through the buying and selling process with confidence and practical insight.

The Northwoods has been my home for over 30 years. As an avid cross-country skier, fisherman, and all-around outdoor enthusiast, I truly believe this area has more to offer than anywhere else I’ve traveled. Helping people make the move here—and begin their own Northwoods adventure—is one of the most fulfilling parts of my work.

 

I’m proud to be a long-time member of the Wisconsin Realtors Association, the Northwoods Association of Realtors, and the Greater Northwoods MLS (Multiple Listing Service)—with many more years to come!
