Angelica Apel, Senior Broker Associate, REALTOR®

Buying a home is a dream come true for most people, and it is so exciting to make that dream a reality for my clients. I truly love Denver's beautiful mountain views, unique shops, restaurants, and one-of-a-kind neighborhoods filled with vintage architecture. The charm that exudes from the turrets and colorful trim gracing a Victorian, the woodwork and details found in a Bungalow…everything about homes here absolutely fascinates me.

Real estate is a natural fit for me, as I grew up learning and watching my parents Jennifer Apel and Corey Wadley, the owners of Nostalgic Homes. Imagine my proud mother when as a toddler I removed the pacifier from my mouth and said to one of her clients, “All this house needs is some paint and a new kitchen!” before calmly putting the pacifier back between my lips. 

Real estate is not only a second language to me, it's also a calling and a passion. This investment is where people make a life for themselves, raise families, and make memories. Buying or selling a home may seem daunting, but with the right representation by your side, it can be a fun and rewarding experience. No matter what your real estate goals may be,  I will provide you with excellent service and years of expertise, all while having a little fun along the way. I welcome the opportunity to make the deal happen for you!

"My husband and I recently sold our home with Nostalgic Homes...once again. This is our third real estate transaction with Angelica & Jenny in the last 6 years, and we have always been so happy with their knowledge, service, and compassion. Owning a home in a historic district in Denver means hiring a specific agent/agency. Not only do they have years of experience, but they also have an appreciation for your special property. Angelica is extremely responsive, and caring - she genuinely understands her client's rollercoaster feelings while selling a home, and compassionately helps them through the process. We thank Nostalgic Homes for another successful sale."

“As a first-time home buyer, my husband and I came to the market with high expectations for a house and also for the broker. Angelica met all of our expectations and more! Angelica helped guide us in the right direction when the first home we made an offer on wasn't the right fit. When we finally did find the right home, Angelica went to work for us and contended with the selling agent and seller. Angelica was accommodating and supportive. She genuinely made the whole process seamless and virtually pain-free. Angelica did a great job of working behind the scenes to ensure our happiness and interests were well-served. I would gladly work with her again… she took care of us as if we were her only client.”

Sarah & Eliezer Bello

"We met Angelica at literally the first open house that we went to during our home-buying process here in Denver. 10 weeks later we closed on a house! How lucky of us to have met her, it was such a smooth process, like working with an old friend. She's everything you need for an agent, responsive, honest, and knows Denver and the Northwest neighborhoods like the back of her hand. Oh and she works hard, has attention to detail, knows the history of the neighborhoods, and the types of houses, and probably has more insight on that stuff than you'll ever need to know. Oh and she's got a great network, and used her recommendations for financing and insurance. There is no reason you need anyone else for your real estate needs. She's stuck with me for the rest of her life!"

Kevin McCarty

"Angelica was always ready to help with any situation that arose during the sale of my home. She helped make a commonly stressful process into a smoothly operated transaction. Their reputation definitely proceeds them, just having the name on the for sale sign in my front yard, I believe helped find the buyer even quicker. I would highly recommend them."

Jillian Moore

“Angelica Apel was everything we could’ve asked for in a broker. My wife and I jumped into the market a bit too soon and had to back out, but Angelica was there waiting for us with a smile a year later. She remembered our style and we fell in love with the first place Angelica showed us. Although we were hooked on the first home, Angelica was more than happy to show us more places to make sure we had good comparisons. It’s such a tough market to get into in Denver, but Angelica helped us to remain competitive, and eventually, we got that first house. She knows this city and knows it well. Plus she’s got a ton of contacts in remodeling and whatever else you need. Angelica is always a pleasure to work with. She’ll get the job done and after you close she’ll still be there for you if you need her. Angelica will definitely be our broker whenever we need one and she should be yours too.”

Luke Turf

“I picked Nostalgic Homes because of signs I had seen throughout Highlands. Angelica was very professional, on time, and made a great first impression. She got me in touch with a mortgage agent to organize and improve my buying power.  I work graveyard shifts and she was flexible to meet me at different times, any day of the week. When I found homes I was interested in Angelica would pull comps so we could see if they were priced appropriately. When we missed out on a house she reassured us that we would find the perfect home, which is exactly what she did. Angelica was at my side from start to finish through the home-buying process and I couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend her and can happily say if I am in the market again she will be my agent in the future. Put your trust in her and Nostalgic Homes and you will not be disappointed!”

Matthew Carley

"Jenny and Angelica Apel are the dream team! I have now bought one house with them and sold two, and every time it's been a god send to work with them. They are both extremely experienced, professional, and understanding of the market and current trends. They are unbelievably helpful in every area, always in communication, and make the process as easy as possible whether you are a buyer or a seller. Customer service is their middle name and I'm incredibly grateful for all of their help over the years. I would recommend them to anyone!"

Julie Jarrett

“Angelica was the 5th broker I tried and I stuck with her for a good reason. Previous brokers took a very bland assessment of what I was looking for in a home and set me up with automated emails/sites which sent me 95% garbage. Angelica took the time to figure out the criteria I was interested in as well as taking note of my personal taste based on the houses we visited. The more houses we saw, the more refined her prospective homes became. I didn’t get a bunch of stuff simply at the top tier of my price range, she sought out homes she knew I would show like to see. I would say that easily 75% if not more of the houses she emailed me I had an interest in seeing. It really helped to have someone filter out the garbage and hone in on exactly what I was looking for in a home.  She was ALWAYS prompt in answering calls/texts as soon as possible, which I greatly appreciated. I’ve recommended her to several others browsing the market and will continue to refer her.”

"Angelica Apel was fantastic to work with! I was blown away by the level of attention she paid to our specific needs during the ENTIRE selling and purchasing process. She is efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. Her passion for real estate truly shines, and I wouldn't be happy working with anyone else."

Morgan M.

"Angelica has been an honest lifesaver and a godsend for us. With a gentle and assertive nature, she held our hands and guided us throughout the entire process, delegating what we needed to do in order to sell our house to help us find our new dream home. She helped us carry the stress through of making a huge life change. Whenever I had questions or concerns (and believe me, there were many), she was right there. We received glowing reviews from close family friends in regard to how efficient she is, and that was an understatement. She is the best! Whatever your needs are when it comes to getting ready to sell, you don't have to worry about "knowing a guy," because this lady knows everybody! She is a real go-getter and will take total care of you. I am so grateful for Angelica Apel—she has changed our lives! Please consider her for your current and future needs; she will get the job done."
