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 have just bought my first Denver home and if I had not found Angelica Apel at Nostalgic Homes, I would probably still be sitting in my rented apartment instead of in the great home she helped me find! Angelica provided tenacious, experienced, thoughtful and hugely caring service. She knows the Denver market, every neighborhood and every detail inside and out. From getting us through the buying process to smart suggestions, she was with us every step of the way. Always on top when it came to replying quickly to questions, keeping us ahead of the calendar dates, and getting first to the best houses she never left us feeling lost, confused or ignored. In fact we closed 2 weeks early and that is down to her guidance and quick actions. From start to finish and even after Angelica stayed fully engaged and always cheerful. All i can say really is if you want to buy a home that suits your needs and have it be an efficient and hugely fun experience, talk to Angelica!”

Kathy Lee

"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."

Wendy Carter

"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."

Pamela Henry

“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!”

Alison Kelly

“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.”

Sarah & Eliezer Bello

"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."

Morgan M.

"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

"Jenny and Angelica Apel are the dream team! I have now bought one house with them and sold two, and every time it's been a god send to work with them. They are both extremely experienced, professional, and understanding of the market and current trends. They are unbelievably helpful in every area, always in communication, and make the process as easy as possible whether you are a buyer or a seller. Customer service is their middle name and I'm incredibly grateful for all of their help over the years. I would recommend them to anyone!"

Julie Jarrett

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!

Shanna Polesovsky

"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!"
