Jennifer Apel, Group Leader, REALTOR®

I am incredibly proud to lead Denver’s premier urban and vintage real estate team, Nostalgic Homes Group. We united our decades of experience and local approach with Compass’ state-of-the-art tools to create a highly personable and productive experience. Our team of experts consistently excels and is a top-ranked team both in Denver and across Compass Colorado. 

My wealth of knowledge and passion for vintage homes has become a personal mission to know Denver’s neighborhoods and its many historic homes. I have listed, sold, or have a history with many of the city’s iconic homes. Preserving the irreplaceable details and history of these stunning structures is a passion of mine both at work and at home. My husband Corey Wadley and I own the historic Elitch Mansion in Highlands and have tirelessly restored it for nearly two decades.

I am a polished, award-winning broker, but I’m also a friendly, down-to-earth gal and a true problem-solver who enjoys getting my hands dirty to create winning solutions. I provide one-on-one communications and extensive knowledge of real estate strategies. For me, the joy of this work is building relationships and helping my clients achieve their dream. When you work with me, the experience is entirely focused on you and your goals!

“Working with Jenny to sell my home was a great experience! She is highly skilled in the art of real estate transacting and left nothing to chance. For me, selling a home while living out of state was slightly nerve-wracking but Jenny handled everything with ease. Her communication was top-notch. She was able to handle several post-contract issues with ease and really impressed me with her capability! I’d recommend her to anyone! Thanks for all your hard work!”

Joshua Popky

"Jenny is a truly special and fantastic realtor. We have bought and sold dozens of homes over the years and never found a realtor worth using twice until we met Jenny. The first house she sold for us went much higher than we planned to ask for. She staged the home, gave us great pointers for some simple changes to make it more attractive to buyers, and the day before it went to market she was out front planting flowers in our planters. She went the extra mile to ensure our home was beautiful and irresistible when it hit the market. Jenny shares the same love of real estate that we have, and it shows in her excitement and professionalism in closing a deal. We are hooked for life. Just wish we could take her with us when we retire to a different state!"

Christina Ostrom

"Jenny sold our home in Harkness Heights and did an absolutely magnificent job navigating one of the most complicated home sale situations I’ve experienced. Buyer financing issues, escrow snafu, appraisal challenges, multiple offers, backup contingencies... all of it. Jenny maneuvered flawlessly through the hazards. Our sale truly would not have been able to take place without her knowledge and contacts in the industry. Well done!"

Ian Beall

"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."

Wendy Carter

"I don't think we would have sold our house without Jenny's help and expertise.   She staged the home and had great contractors to help with repairs.  She was so positive throughout the process.  If you are selling a home in Denver, definitely consider her as your broker."

Jessen Wilson

"We worked with Jenny Apel and Elizabeth Clayton to sell our West Highland house. We could not have been in better hands. They understood how to sell our 1951 home without us spending a lot of money to get it on the market. They were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. They had resources to handle the handyman items, carpet, window cleaning, and other items that needed to be taken care of to get the house ready for showing. I would highly recommend Jenny and Elizabeth and would work with them again to sell or buy."

Kiernan O'Donovan

"Jenny is an amazing and thoughtful woman and an exceptional broker! She took the time to answer all of our inquiries and shared stories that were enjoyable about herself and the neighborhood. Our experience with selling and buying a home with Jenny was a joyful rendezvous and I would highly recommend Jenny and her fabulous team."

DeLinda Rose

"I had seen Jenny Apel's real estate signs in my neighborhood for many years, so when I decided to sell my home I called her. My property was unique, with a separate carriage house serving as rental units. Jenny said she could sell this unique property. She prepared a market analysis that showed a selling price higher than I anticipated. Jenny presented a detailed plan on how she would market and sell the property, such as the number of showings, the expected number of offers, and a timeline for closing. She delivered on everything! It was a stress-free process from start to finish - Jenny took care of EVERYTHING and it was a pleasure working with her and her team."

Denise W.

"Jenny Apel is nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL in her work as a real estate broker.  She exceeded all expectations we had in the process of selling our loft.  The aspect of working with Jenny that we valued most was how she managed the entire process with contractors for the work needed to update our loft. Not only did the contractor's work come in under budget, but it required no additional effort on our part because she handled all of it. If there were 100 stars to rate our experience in working with Jenny, I would give all 100!!!"

Lisa Mougin

"Jenny and her team were wonderful and indispensable in helping us get our family member's home ready for sale. I was not from the area but picked Nostalgic Homes to represent us as I could see that Jenny was interested in the home and its history, not just flipping the house and making a few quick bucks. The attention to detail and Jenny’s staging were instrumental in getting a good price for the home."
