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!

"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 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."

Fabba Lou

"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!"

Jon Ziarnik

"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

"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."

Deborah Slawson

"I have been working with Jenny Apel for 20+ years. Both with investment properties and personal home sales/purchases. She’s even helped my daughter, who was a baby when I met Jenny, to purchase her first home. Jenny is the absolute best! She’s a professional and her expertise is unmatched. She works hard to make the process simple and as smooth as possible! Jenny exceeds all expectations! There’s no other broker that I would trust!"

Valerie Garcia

"My husband and I had the best experience buying and selling real estate with our agent, Jenny Apel.  Over the years we have bought and sold a few properties, and Jenny was by far the best agent we've had.  She's incredibly knowledgeable about Denver's real estate market and will help guide you to properties that suit your needs.  She will be a fierce advocate on your behalf and is generous in time and spirit.  Jenny is a lot of fun to work with and makes the process enjoyable.  We give Jenny Apel 5 stars and highly recommend her!"

Jim Cookson

"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

"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!"

Mike Hottinger

"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."
