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!

“I have just bought my first Denver home and if I had not found Angelica Apel at Nostalgic Homes, I would probably still be sitting in my rented apartment instead of in the great home she helped me find! Angelica provided tenacious, experienced, thoughtful and hugely caring service. She knows the Denver market, every neighborhood and every detail inside and out. From getting us through the buying process to smart suggestions, she was with us every step of the way. Always on top when it came to replying quickly to questions, keeping us ahead of the calendar dates, and getting first to the best houses she never left us feeling lost, confused or ignored. In fact we closed 2 weeks early and that is down to her guidance and quick actions. From start to finish and even after Angelica stayed fully engaged and always cheerful. All i can say really is if you want to buy a home that suits your needs and have it be an efficient and hugely fun experience, talk to Angelica!”
We have had the pleasure of working with Angelica Apel on buying and selling 3 of our homes. She has always been able to help us find the home of our dreams, and also able to navigate the crazy markets we have experienced over the past 10 years. We have sold our last two homes with multiple offers and closed in less than a month! She and the whole Nostalgic Homes team hold their business standards to such a high level, you know they are respected in the industry and ready to take on any challenge you bring their way. We have always felt confident in every step of the process and never in the dark about choices to make in selling our homes. If you are in the market to buy or sell, I cannot recommend Angelica enough!
"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."
"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!"
“The level of commitment I received from Angelica Apel of Nostalgic Homes far exceeded my expectations. Not only is she a true professional, but she also goes a step further to do her “homework” in all aspects. She gets to know you and becomes an investigator! She shares background on all of the properties that she offers up for review, knows what the schools are like, provides you with insight and tips on reviewing a prospective home, and offers multiple options of the highest caliber for financing. Once you find your dream house, her expertise really kicks in...keeping you focused on pending dates and what you have to do to make the closing happen. Her advice on what ‘not to worry about’ was the most helpful thing. She made those worries her job, which made my job very, very easy—just to enjoy and settle into my new home. I have spoken of her abilities to everyone I know, and feel that my family and I have also made a cherished friend.”
"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."
"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."
"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."
“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!”
"We have lived in North Denver for over 60 years and had heard of Nostalgic Homes. We had decided to sell one of our rental homes and reached out to Jenny and Angelica for their expertise. I must tell you that both of these gals will go above and beyond to get your home sold. We have used other brokers in the past but there is no comparison to the professionalism that they offer. You will not be disappointed! A bonus is getting to see their beautiful office in a grand old victorian in the Highlands Neighborhood. There is no challenge too big or small that Jenny and Angelica can't help you with. They will be my "go-to" for any future real estate transactions."
