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 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!"
"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."
“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!”
"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!"
"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!"
"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!"
"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, 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!”
"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."
