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!
"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."
"Jenny Apel and her team are a seller's best friends. She's helped us with both residential and investment properties, guiding us along the way to ensure we got top dollar. Jenny is knowledgeable, experienced and so hard working! Her crack team of stagers will have your house looking so gorgeous buyers will be climbing over each other to make you an offer. If you're looking for an expert who will have your back, Jenny is who you need."
"With her finger on the pulse of this ever-changing market, Jenny Apel navigated the sale of our beloved home with ease and sophistication. Her level of competency and command of the process can only have been achieved by completing the sheer volume of home transactions that many brokers only dream of achieving. She set our expectations up front and met them all along the way."
"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!!!"
"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."
“Jenny, when we met the second time you told me with great enthusiasm that you were going to bring me a buyer who would love the house as much as my mother did and as much as I did – someone who would appreciate it and be so happy to get to live there. I believe that is what has happened. You also said you’d have it sold in a month, and it appears that that has happened. You have done all of the things you said you would do and I can’t express to you enough how happy that makes me. It restores my faith in humanity knowing that there are people who tell the truth and do exactly what they say they are going to do. Thank you!”
"Jenny is a tiger!! She made suggestions I wasn't sure of, but they all ended up being spot-on and produced a great result!"
"Jenny and her team directed the staging and presentation of a mid-century-modern home we inherited in Littleton. As out-of-town owners, we learned we could trust Jenny COMPLETELY in the selection of trades and their supervision. Jenny is resourceful, creative, and persistent. Top-notch all the way!"
"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."
"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."
