Angelica Apel, Senior Broker Associate, REALTOR®

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!

“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!”

Matthew Carley

"We met Angelica at literally the first open house that we went to during our home-buying process here in Denver. 10 weeks later we closed on a house! How lucky of us to have met her, it was such a smooth process, like working with an old friend. She's everything you need for an agent, responsive, honest, and knows Denver and the Northwest neighborhoods like the back of her hand. Oh and she works hard, has attention to detail, knows the history of the neighborhoods, and the types of houses, and probably has more insight on that stuff than you'll ever need to know. Oh and she's got a great network, and used her recommendations for financing and insurance. There is no reason you need anyone else for your real estate needs. She's stuck with me for the rest of her life!"

Kevin McCarty

“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.”

"Angelica has been an honest lifesaver and a godsend for us. With a gentle and assertive nature, she held our hands and guided us throughout the entire process, delegating what we needed to do in order to sell our house to help us find our new dream home. She helped us carry the stress through of making a huge life change. Whenever I had questions or concerns (and believe me, there were many), she was right there. We received glowing reviews from close family friends in regard to how efficient she is, and that was an understatement. She is the best! Whatever your needs are when it comes to getting ready to sell, you don't have to worry about "knowing a guy," because this lady knows everybody! She is a real go-getter and will take total care of you. I am so grateful for Angelica Apel—she has changed our lives! Please consider her for your current and future needs; she will get the job done."

"I decided to start looking for houses myself in the Highlands area after I became frustrated with my agent's lack of attention. I happened to stop by Nostalgic Homes and met Angelica, and asked her to help me find a home. That night I had an email with more than 25 homes in the area I wanted! Later that week we visited several homes, and 3 weeks later, I was making arrangements to close. Angelica was very good at understanding what I wanted and staying in touch. I was working between Peru and Denver, but that didn't cause an issue! I couldn’t find a Denver real estate agent that would get back to me when I was in town, let alone put up with these difficult logistics. Angelica used simple techniques to keep me on track and often served as a go-between with my lender, inspectors, etc. which really didn’t fall within her scope of duties. More than anything, Angelica’s positive attitude leveled the field for everyone."

David Gilbert

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!

"Angelica Apel was fantastic to work with! I was blown away by the level of attention she paid to our specific needs during the ENTIRE selling and purchasing process. She is efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. Her passion for real estate truly shines, and I wouldn't be happy working with anyone else."

“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.”

Drew Cleaver

"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."

Jillian Moore

“The level of commitment I received from Angelica Apel of Nostalgic Homes far exceeded my expectations. Not only is she a true professional, but she also goes a step further to do her “homework” in all aspects. She gets to know you and becomes an investigator! She shares background on all of the properties that she offers up for review, knows what the schools are like,  provides you with insight and tips on reviewing a prospective home, and offers multiple options of the highest caliber for financing. Once you find your dream house, her expertise really kicks in...keeping you focused on pending dates and what you have to do to make the closing happen. Her advice on what ‘not to worry about’ was the most helpful thing. She made those worries her job, which made my job very, very easy—just to enjoy and settle into my new home. I have spoken of her abilities to everyone I know, and feel that my family and I have also made a cherished friend.”
