About:
As Seen on HGTV's "HouseHunters". Steven Caporale is a Founder and Managing Director at Amherst Madison. His real estate ambitions started early in life when he made the decision to major in Real Estate/Construction Management at the top-ranked University of Denver where he was a full Hornbeck Scholar. While still in college, he bought his first rental property and within three years owned and personally managed five single-family homes. Since then, he has been licensed for eighteen years, in four different states, with six of those years working in corporate real estate for a FORTUNE 1000 company, WorkflowOne, and four years with a national luxury home developer, The Renaissance Group. Steven has held the highest level of licensing (Employing or Designated Broker) since 1999. In his years at The Renaissance Group, Steven traveled hundreds of thousands of miles and worked on real estate projects in dozens of locations. He has met, and personally shaken hands with, business leaders and celebrities alike. Bill Gates, Herb Allen, Derek Jeter, Sean Penn, John Elway, Jennifer Aniston, Harvey Weinstein, Regis Philben, Phil Mickelson, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill are his best memories. Through these experiences, Steven witnessed success at the highest level. He learned that the same principles that make a great “business” apply to most everything else in life. Success is not by accident, and Steven knows which elements are critical to achieving success. In his corporate work, he was involved in the “turnaround” of a portfolio company. This time is one of Steven’s fondest professional experiences as he was charged with assisting the marketing & public relations departments in a national “re-branding”. Here is where he worked with an elite ad agency/marketing firm in New York City and experienced first person the dynamics of proper organizational development, marketing strategy, web design, search engine optimization, and sales conversion methods. His team’s work was awarded one of the highest honors in the marketing world, an ADDY® award, and later became the overall design of the portfolio company’s entire branding. Steven uses this experience in marketing to make sure his real estate clients receive the highest value, and it part of the reason he has helped clients buy or sell over 350 homes (as of 2014). In December 2010, he co-founded Boise Premier Real Estate and within two-and-a-half years grew it to 50 agents making it one of the fastest-growing real estate companies in Idaho. During this time he was featured on HGTV in the first-ever filming of “HouseHunters” in the state of Idaho. Steven sold his interest in Boise Premier in 2014 to focus full-time on what he knows is the model of the future – embodied at Amherst Madison.
