Fra Noi Embrace Your Inner Italian
The Grand Chamber by O’Hare presented Gabe Caporale Sr. with the Walter G. Bassi and Randall J. Braglia Chamber Pillar Award at its annual installation dinner at Casa Italia in Stone Park on Nov. 15.
“This award means a lot to me,” Caporale told Neighbors Magazine. “I put my heart and soul into everything I do.”
Caporale is the founder and managing broker of Caporale Realty Group in Elmwood Park. He began his real estate career at the age of 21, opening the doors to his own firm in 1983.
The secret to his longevity? “I take pride in simplifying the often complex and emotional process of buying or selling a home, and I always strive to make each transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible,” he shares.
Among his many leadership roles in the community, Caporale serves as president of the Elmbrook Senior Residence Board of Directors, treasurer and past president of the Montclare-Elmwood Park Kiwanis, and event leadership team member for the Leyden Township American Cancer Society Relay for Life. He has served as past president of the Montclare Elmwood Park Lions Club, and president of the Columbian Club of Chicago and past chairman of its foundation.
Among his many honors, he has been named a Five Star Real Estate Agent by Chicago Magazine and Realtor of the Year by both the Illinois Realtors Association and the Oak Park Area Association of Realtors. In 2021, the village of Elmwood Park designated the corner of 77th Avenue and North Avenue Honorary Gabe Caporale Way.
