Jill will get the deal done! She made it easy for us and helped take the pressure away. She combines great instincts with years of experience and has relationships that give her the edge. We really cannot recommend her enough. Our experience with other members of the Apel Team staff was also top notch. read more

Angelica Apel is a very hard working realtor. Whenever I e mailed her I got an immediate response ...every time! Rare in the current market. She never tired of looking at numerous listings and was very honest in her opinions of price and value. I moved to Denver from Virginia and therefore, was unfamiliar with the area. On several occasions she merely drove me through neighborhoods explaining the pros and cons. I would not hesitate to recommend her to list/ buy your property. If you want an intelligent, savvy agent with your best interest in mind, she's the gal. read more

I recently used Nostalgic Homes to sell my house in Denver. Jenny was awesome and very informed on activity in the Denver market. She was always available or returned calls in a very timely manner, kept me informed, and most importantly, was an advisor. She is an expert in her field and shared her expertise and strategies in all angles of selling my house. I never felt she was there just to make a quick sell and collect her commission. She was a great listener and I never felt judged or like I was wasting her time with all my questions. I would highly recommend Nostalgic Homes for any house selling/buying transaction! read more

"I contacted Nostalgic Homes when I decided that I wanted to get in the market for a new home. I have to say my initial choice in an agency was not very scientific, I picked Nostalgic Homes because I really liked there signs I had seen through the Highlands area. I had found a house that I wanted to see and Angelica Apel came out and showed the home to me. My first impression of Angelica was that she was very professional, she was on time and made a great first impression. We talked about what I wanted in a home and what I thought I could afford. Angelica quickly helped me get in touch with a mortgage agent who explained to me what I could get financed for and helped me organize my finances to improve my buying power. Angelica was very open to my input on what style, type of home, size and lot sizing I was looking for, she tailored her house searches to the area I wanted to be in and every time we went out and looked at houses she got more and more dialed in to exactly what I was looking for. She did not try to push me into a cookie cutter ranch home even though there were tons on the market. Did I mention that Angelica was extremely flexible in her scheduling? I work grave yards and she was able to meet me very early in the morning, mid day, or during evening hours on week days and weekends alike to look at houses. At no time did I feel like Angelica was pressuring me to buy any specific house and she was quick to point out if she thought a house was over priced in the market. When I found homes I was interested in Angelica would pull comps so we could see if they were priced appropriately. When I would get bummed out about missing out on a house Angelica was very reassuring that she would help me find the perfect home for me and my family which, is exactly what she did. Angelica found me a home that met every criteria I was looking for that was within my budget and the area I was looking for. Angelica was at my side from start to finish through the home buying process and I couldn't have asked for more out of an agent. I highly recommend her as an agent 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 read more

Jill Samuels, wow, is she an amazing Realtor! We physically looked at 36 homes, 100s online, and she was there by our side for all of it. She gave a professional, honest opinion about the homes we were interested in, and sometimes had to play marriage counselor between my husband and I :). She went above and beyond for us after we purchased our first home when the seller had left some belongings there, and she recommended us a locksmith, and a handyman who were at our new home that night and the next day. Amazing resource for the Denver metro area. I can't wait to work with Jill again for our next home! read more

I am a home seller. A one hour showing was requested. The realtor did come to my home.

We worked with Jill and felt so lucky to have her! She completely took care of us from start to finish. As first time home buyers, there was so much we didn't know and were nervous about, but she really helped us through everything and made it such a fun experience! Could not be more thankful for for her and Nostalgic Homes read more

My husband and I worked with Jill Samuels from Nostalgic Homes. We were dabbling with the idea to move (that is downsize), since the kids were starting to flee the nest. Jill's responsiveness and dedication was phenomenal. When we started, she had no idea how long this process would take or even if we would end up buying a house, yet she was patient, professional and diligent about keeping us informed. Through it all Jill worked super hard to find the perfect place for us! She was always there willing to get us in to see places we stumbled upon, even during holiday weekends. After we found the perfect place, then we saw Jill move into action with selling our current home. She thoroughly researched comps to figure out the optimal price for our home, staged the home beautifully, and put together a strategy to maximize our sales price. It worked! We received multiple offers within a couple days and sold well above our asking price. We have no doubt that the great result was due primarily to Jill's hard work and expertise. We can't recommend her highly enough. read more

My family and I have worked with Jill Samuels for 14 years. We've bought and/or sold six homes with Jill's help. She is knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. She knows North Denver and the surrounding suburbs better than most, and she has great instincts about the real estate market. With the exception of one transaction (she was out of town for the closing) every transaction was worry-free and painless. I would hire Jill again and have recommended her to numerous friends and colleagues. read more

We bought our home in 2015 with the help and expertise of Jill Samuels, and cannot recommend her highly enough - we have literally given her name to everyone we know who has been interested in buying a home since then. Jill is amazing - she is the rare combination of extremely hard working, skilled, and responsive yet calm, centered, flexible and patient. Even 3 years after we purchased our home, her genuine care of us is evident in sending us thoughtful cards after both our kids were born, in quickly responding to our requests for home owner recommendations like a trusted plumber or roofer, and in reaching out to invite us to client appreciation events. We couldn't be happier with her and Nostalgic Homes. read more

First a little background on the 5 stars. I was a first time buyer and was simply ready to quit paying rent. I really didn't know what I was looking for, but decided to click around online and see what would show up, no realtor in mind at this point. After emailing about 3-4 houses, Angelica Apel at Nostalgic Homes immediately connected with me to start setting up some showings. Before our first outing, Angelica bent over backwards to set up a time that worked for me to check out the homes. Once we settled on a time, she was nothing but courteous and extremely professional from there on out. Not only did she show me the houses that I was interested in, but also picked up on my personality and what I was looking for and suggested a few that I had not thought about looking at. During the closing process, Angelica was there to answer any question I had. And since I was a first time buyer, there were a ton of them. She was extremely patient with me and helped with any issues that may have arisen. Long story short, the house I ended up purchasing was one that I told her I was not interested in looking at, from the photos online. She was persistent that I should check it out and give it a chance. I was wrong, she was right and fell in love with the house the second I stepped in. Angelica worked day and night, 7 days a week to make the paperwork painless as possible and any negotiations we had with the seller. This was extremely helpful, due to the fact that the house had been on the market a short period of time and there were several buyers interested. After closing, she treated me to a HUGE gift basket with anything I might need for the move in. The thoughtful gesture will be something that sticks with me forever. And if that isn't enough, she attended our house warming party with a bottle of wine and stayed to enjoy the celebration of this milestone in my life. I, without a doubt, will recommend Angelica Apels/Nostalgic Homes to any of my friends who are searching for a home. read more

My husband and I worked with Corey Wadley (who is also the owner of Nostalgic Homes) to purchase a home in Denver. We met him at an open house and could immediately sense he was extremely knowledgeable - not only about the real estate in the area, but also about home improvement in general. I was worried that he would be too busy as the owner to take us on as clients, but he was always responsive and available to show us houses. I also discovered early on that he had our best interests in mind when we looked at a house that was listed by one of his employees, and he gave us an honest opinion about the price being too high. While I always keep an eye on houses listed online, Corey ended up finding a house I would have completely overlooked. It ended up being our dream home and we couldn't be happier. read more

My family has a home in the Highlands that was purchased by our parents back in 1950. My siblings and I all grew up in that house. We have an intimate knowledge of, and a sentimental soft spot for, the old neighborhood. After our parents passed away we agonized over what to do with the old house. We decided to look into putting it up for sale. We contacted Nostalgic Homes and were underwhelmed by their response. The first thing they did was to swarm the house like a plague of locusts. There were fifteen or so agents who all showed up at the same time to very condescendingly evaluate the home. They came and left without any pretense of courtesy and gave the indication that our property was beneath them. We decided to list it with someone else. As the property was put on the market, we continued to work on it, stripping old paint, revarnishing wood floors etc. During that time we received a forwarded e-mail from our realtor sent to him from Mr. Wadley, co-owner of Nostalgic Homes. It stated that during a showing for one of his clients he found the home to be dirty and unshowable. That was laughable. There was no one living in the house at the time and the only dirt that was in the house was dust and materials from the work we had been engaging in to make the house look better. Bottom line, I find this organization to be quite full of themselves. They say they are the big North Denver experts, but they are just wannabes. Even the information given on their website by the other co-owner who grew up in North Denver sounds contrived and phony. ( It's Sloan Lake, Ms. Apel ). I wouldn't ever use their services and would turn down any sale involving them. Yes, after many years as a rental, with the market back up, we are thinking of putting it back on the market. There is no way any sale of this house would involve Nostalgic Homes and their huge egos. Leon K. read more

My husband and I worked with Jodi Rogers and were impressed! In a short amount of time, she helped us purchase our first dream home... great location, architecture, and the "feel" in Denver we were specifically looking for. While looking at homes, we never felt pressured by her - but instead were given an honest opinion. She was professional and friendly and really went to work hard on negotiating during the closing. We were able to close on our home with no closing costs, and all of the inspection objections completed to our request. Jodi is a gem to work with and we now consider her a friend! read more

My husband and I had been in the market for a new home and our mortgage broker suggested we contact Angelica Apel at Nostalgic. Not only was Angelica very professional in her dealings, she also did little things to let us know that she was actively trying to find us our dream home. She was highly organized, checked-in and always followed up. She helped us weigh the pros and cons of each house which led us to finding our dream house. There was a lot of competition for the home but Angelica went above and beyond to help us make a strong offer and ultimately get the house. Angelica's knowledge of the little nuisances separates her from other brokers and makes her great to work with. Once we were under contract on the home she would answer questions at all hours, meet us at the house at any time of day (for us to show family, measure, look at certain things) and showed up for the inspection, appraisal and other appointments so we didn't have to take time off work. Since Angelica has grown up in Denver she can recommend anyone that one may need for home repair. Additionally, Angelica made sure to be with us at the closing and has checked in with us on a number of occasions to see how we are enjoying our home. Enough cannot be said about Angelica- we highly recommend her to anybody in the market for a new home. - Whitney & Craig read more

I have to thank both Corey Wadley and Jenny Apel for their experience, professionalism, and patience as my wife and I searched for our dream home. While our goals and our budget didn't always line up, Corey showed us a range of options in order to help us narrow in on our final house, pushed back on us at just the right time to help us make smarter decisions, and ultimately was crucial in negotiating on our behalf. After months of searching, he helped us land the home of our dreams on Lookout Mountain in Golden, CO and I'd highly recommend his service and the whole organization for anyone looking for a home in Colorado. read more
