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!

"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."
"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."
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!
“I really enjoyed having Angelica as my broker and appreciated all of her work with us. She picked up right away that we didn’t need to buy a home immediately but still spent the time taking us around looking at homes to get a feel for the neighborhood. As a first-time buyer, I was worried there would be pressure to say yes to a home after we saw it but Angelica always listened to us and allowed us to say no to a home. In the end, we got a great house for a great price and we really appreciated her support!”
“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!”
"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 recently worked with Angelica Apel of Nostalgic Homes to purchase an investment property in Denver. Angelica’s knowledge of Denver’s real estate market was invaluable during the home-buying process. It was obvious from day one that she had an excellent grasp on the market conditions and what it would take to find the “right” property. The insight she provided during my search was both accurate and extremely helpful and resulted in me purchasing a home that I was very pleased with. In addition, Angelica was always willing to accommodate my schedule for showings and provide prompt responses to my requests and questions. I would highly recommend Angelica as a broker regardless of whether I was buying an investment property or a home for myself. I look forward to working with her and Nostalgic Homes again in the future.”
“Angelica was the 5th broker I tried and I stuck with her for a good reason. Previous brokers took a very bland assessment of what I was looking for in a home and set me up with automated emails/sites which sent me 95% garbage. Angelica took the time to figure out the criteria I was interested in as well as taking note of my personal taste based on the houses we visited. The more houses we saw, the more refined her prospective homes became. I didn’t get a bunch of stuff simply at the top tier of my price range, she sought out homes she knew I would show like to see. I would say that easily 75% if not more of the houses she emailed me I had an interest in seeing. It really helped to have someone filter out the garbage and hone in on exactly what I was looking for in a home. She was ALWAYS prompt in answering calls/texts as soon as possible, which I greatly appreciated. I’ve recommended her to several others browsing the market and will continue to refer her.”
“Angelica Apel was everything we could’ve asked for in a broker. My wife and I jumped into the market a bit too soon and had to back out, but Angelica was there waiting for us with a smile a year later. She remembered our style and we fell in love with the first place Angelica showed us. Although we were hooked on the first home, Angelica was more than happy to show us more places to make sure we had good comparisons. It’s such a tough market to get into in Denver, but Angelica helped us to remain competitive, and eventually, we got that first house. She knows this city and knows it well. Plus she’s got a ton of contacts in remodeling and whatever else you need. Angelica is always a pleasure to work with. She’ll get the job done and after you close she’ll still be there for you if you need her. Angelica will definitely be our broker whenever we need one and she should be yours too.”
“As a first-time home buyer, my husband and I came to the market with high expectations for a house and also for the broker. Angelica met all of our expectations and more! Angelica helped guide us in the right direction when the first home we made an offer on wasn't the right fit. When we finally did find the right home, Angelica went to work for us and contended with the selling agent and seller. Angelica was accommodating and supportive. She genuinely made the whole process seamless and virtually pain-free. Angelica did a great job of working behind the scenes to ensure our happiness and interests were well-served. I would gladly work with her again… she took care of us as if we were her only client.”
