Hi, I’m Melissa Willems, a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Electric Realty, proudly serving Peterborough and the surrounding areas.
As a dedicated real estate agent, I help my clients navigate the Peterborough market with confidence—whether you're buying your first home or upsizing for your growing family. I specialize in working with first-time buyers and families, but I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients through all kinds of moves and transitions. From detached homes and condos to waterfront and country properties, I provide full-service real estate support tailored to your goals.
What sets me apart is how I show up for my clients. I believe in clear, consistent communication, a proactive approach, and being hands-on every step of the way. I’m honest, detail-oriented, and always focused on delivering real value, not just getting a deal done.
I’m known for helping my buyers look beyond the “pretty” and understand the bigger picture, long-term value, maintenance, and smart decision-making. My clients trust me to guide them with experience, transparency, and a steady, grounded approach.
At the same time, I keep things real. Buying or selling a home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. I bring a calm, authentic energy to the process and handle the moving parts so you don’t have to carry the weight. My goal is simple: to make your experience feel smooth, informed, and even enjoyable.
Over the past 5 years, I’ve built my business largely through repeat and referral clients—which says everything about the relationships I prioritize and the level of service I deliver. I’m also a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist, helping clients confidently navigate major life transitions.
Before real estate, I spent 15 years working hands-on with patients in physiotherapy clinics and hospital settings. That experience shaped the way I work today—client-first, communicative, and genuinely invested in the people I’m supporting.
Outside of real estate, you’ll find me with my husband and our three dogs, “glamping” in the Haliburton Forest—my go-to reset. I’m also big on health and fitness, regularly lifting weights and coaching as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer in the early hours of the morning—before real estate even gets going.
One of the things I love most about Peterborough is how it offers the best of both worlds. It’s a growing, vibrant city that still holds onto that close-knit, small-community feel—and within minutes, you can be surrounded by nature, whether that’s waterfront views, rural landscapes, or quiet trails.
If you’re looking for a full-service Realtor in Peterborough who brings experience, honesty, and a down-to-earth approach—I’d love to connect.
Let’s start making a plan that’s right for you.
