It was a great pleasure working with Anita Bostok and Norman Hathaway. I found out about them is via lawn signage. I called to inquire about their services, and my call was returned within 30 minutes. Conversations, while very professional were always very cordial. Working with them is like working with a “best friend”, they have understood our stories, apprehension about the process considering the great difficulty in find tenants, let along leasing a place nowadays. Since I am a first – time landlord, and small “investor”, they

gave us necessary advice on how to navigate the process, and constantly keep us informed of everything regarding daily visits/viewings. Both Anita and Norman were very respectful and understanding of our decisions, and they did not make us feel that we had to “rush” to arrive at a decision. I would certainly work with Anita and Norman again! Thank you for your patience! - Caroline Martin

We had a fantastic experience with Bostok Hathaway. Thanks to Anita, we found our perfect house within our budget. It wasn't easy - we looked and many homes while we navigated a hot market and high interest rates, before we found the one. Anita was great at guiding us through the pros and cons of various properties and was instrumental in securing us the home we really wanted when we found it. Both Anita and Norman went through the entire home before we finalized the sale, just so we could be sure we were making a sound investment. Almost a year later in our new family home and we couldn't be happier with the investment! - Dr. Emily Cappon

Working with Norman Hathaway and Anita Bostok took all the worry out of preparing and listing my centrally located condo for the market. They were thorough, advising on staging and upgrades before listing. They also kept me posted on all interested parties. I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend this team for your real estate needs. - Mary-Lou Roder

Norman and Anita sold my home for me. They got me a great deal in a very tough market. I can't say enough about them. Best agents I have worked with. - Andy MacInnis

My partner and I moved to Toronto in September 2023. Anita Bostok and Noman Hathaway helped us find our dream apartment. They were kind, knowledgeable, and reliable. The Toronto market is difficult and overwhelming but with Anita and Norman, we were able to move fast and find exactly what we were looking for within our price range. I would recommend Anita and Norman to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent in the Toronto area. They were amazing and we were relieved to have them on our side every step of the way. - Emanuela Buonamici

Norman and Anita were excellent in guiding me through the sale of my property. I was thrilled to work with them, and they made the whole process stress-free. I would highly recommend them as I felt at ease with them and they were always available to answer any questions, big or small. - Victoria Amy H

Early in 2021 I decided to look at rural properties NW of Toronto to build or buy a small country getaway house. I knew that Bostok Hathaway had sold my neighbour's house in Toronto, and she had nothing but good words for Anita Bostok and Norman Hathaway and their professionalism and expertise all the way through the process. I had a few quick chats with Norman during that time and thought of him and Anita right away last spring when I knew I wanted to enter the market. One listing in a small village setting west of Orangeville quickly stood out for me. We drove out and spent about two hours in and around the house and the village, and I knew then that I wanted to make an offer. Norman and Anita got to work and were in touch with me often several times a day as we put in an offer, responded to the owners' comeback offer, set up the home inspection, considered local zoning issues and so on. The process literally unfolded without a single snag. I'd expected some anxiety, of course, dealing with such a volatile market, but the calm assurance and impressive experience of Norman and Anita kept me on an even keel. I could tell I was in good hands. I was really impressed with their choice of home inspector, who included me step-by-step as he went through the house. His detailed report made it clear to me I did not want to miss out on this great property with no red-flag issues. Best of all, Bostok Hathaway got me a deal significantly under the asking price, in a market that has been subject to fierce bidding wars. I feel so grateful to Norman and Anita. I love the house, and they were a total pleasure to work with. - Jim Bartley

The team at Bostok Hathaway were great to work with. Anita was communicative and hands on throughout the entire process. She even helped to check on the property a few times and I would definitely recommend them. Great service! - Brian C

Anita and Norman were incredibly helpful in assisting us with our purchase. They really listened to our criteria and understood our needs. As we hadn't narrowed down the area, they were super flexible with showing us a variety of properties across the GTA. They were knowledgeable and shared their observations about the properties (both positive and negative) which was extremely helpful. We always felt comfortable working with them and trusted them throughout the process. - Jane - Anne Tateishi

Anita and Norm are such an amazing team. My partner has had some experience with purchasing a home but I’m very new to the real estate market and I found them both so patient, knowledgeable and really listened to what we were looking for in a purchasing our first home together. We aren’t in any rush to purchase but I know that we’ll be in good hands with Anita and Norm when we’re ready to take the next step. We found them so professional, committed and very personable. Looking for a new home can be very a daunting task, but they really put our minds at ease, and we look forward to working with them in the future when we’re ready to purchase. We would recommend Anita and Norm to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell their home. - Zandee Toovey

I would like to recommend Anita and Norman as realtors who have the client's best interest in mind! Anita helped our daughter purchase her first condo a few years ago and she was very knowledgeable and responsive to her needs. We are new to the condo market and did not understand some of the legal requirements that are involved with condos including condo maintenance fees, reserve funds and closing costs. Anita was able to help our daughter select the best property based on several factors including location and cost. She was able to negotiate a fair price for the unit. Our daughter is very happy with her purchase, and we would definitely recommend Anita and Norman to others who are looking to purchase a home. - Nick Stark & Sue Eastwood

I was recommended Bostok Hathaway Real Estate through a friend when I was looking to move. The entire process was new to me and very convoluted. Both Anita and Norman were extremely helpful, personable, and professional. They helped make the decision easier and alleviated any stress I had along the way. I cannot articulate enough how genuine Anita and Norman are. I highly recommend them! - David Smith

Norman Hathaway and Anita Bostok were excellent during the process of selling our house in Cabbagetown. They were both very informed, professional and a great help in deciding the price point and timing of our sale. From beginning to end, it was a great experience and one we have recommended to several of our friends.- Colette Carreiro

It would be hard to find a better duo than Norman and Anita to guide you through the process of purchasing or selling a home. They could not have been more trustworthy, knowledgable, dedicated, thorough, and accommodating throughout the purchase of my first condo in downtown Toronto. Norman's eye for detail as he expertly analyzed every nook and cranny of the home provided assurance that I wouldn't have any hidden problems. Anita was extremely patient and diligent during the search process, confident and effective in strategy and negotiation, and consistently exuded compassion, professionalism, intelligence and sophistication. Thanks Norman and Anita for all you've done - I look forward to working together again on the next home! - Tatiana Rose

Norman and Anita are both experienced real estate professionals. They were both focused on my needs and requirements. Providing valuable insights and data that allowed me to make an informed decision confidently. They are patient, kind and fun (never thought I'd say that about a real estate agent) and delivered on their promises.- Rick G

Norm and Anita were fantastic to work with. They took the time to get to know our specific needs as we searched for the perfect condo for our situation.  We never felt rushed or pressured. They really had our back when it came to representing our financial interests, and their attention to details that demonstrated that commitment was very comforting in an environment of often pressured and emotional transactions. We will definitely call on them again- Dr. Vlad Dzavik

Norman and Anita are the perfect team. They were exceptionally supportive and accommodating, kind, responsive, patient, and really took the time to understand what we were looking for. They truly have their client's best interests in mind and worked with us to realize those interests with the least amount of stress possible. I would recommend them to anyone.- T.D.

I would not hesitate to recommend Norman and Anita, as they were professional, trustworthy and honest while guiding me through the process of purchasing or selling and my home. They clarified and recapped each step of the process and prepared me, so I knew exactly what to expect, allowing me to be risk aware. Through their guidance I was able to make a hard, yet confident final decision not to buy a home (that I really loved!) because they genuinely cared about me and my family. A home is one of the biggest purchases in life, so I am grateful for their services and will look forward to shopping with them when the time is right.- D. Noble

I wish everyone who wants to buy or sell a house meets Norman and Anita, because they were so professional, and so personable and patient, while listening to my concerns about downsizing from over 3,000 sq ft to just over 1300 and a condo.  I could not have had better real estate representation, and I welcome a call from anyone who is thinking of moving and wants any more info.  Thanks so much - they go the extra mile..- Jean Wulkan

Norman and Anita were invaluable to me when I bought my house. They took the time to know my needs and really listened to what was important to me. I had a clear sense that they understood what I wanted, and they found the right home for me. I enjoyed house-hunting with them, and they were helpful and very clear about the financial side of things. They put me in touch with people that were useful in terms of assessing the house, getting a mortgage and a great real estate lawyer. I bought my house in October 2010, and it was a crazy time and every offer involved a bidding war. It was stressful and they supported me through the whole process. If I buy another house, I will definitely ask BostokHathawy to represent me again.- L.H.

Norman and Anita seamlessly guided us through the process of selling my aunt’s property. They are brilliant. We are near novices, and we leaned heavily on their many years of experience and expertise. Consummate professionals, their sage advice and strategic input were invaluable to us. Moreover, they always made us feel as though their time for us was limitless, answering all our questions in great detail — they really took the time. Norman and Anita’s way of doing business puts people first, with great care and consideration for what’s truly best for their clients. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.- Megan & Tom Mueller

I contacted Norman about one of his listings. The house wasn’t the right fit for me but I ended up meeting the realtor who, I was convinced, would someday help me find ‘the one’. Norm met with my family, and we spent a couple weekends looking at homes. I ultimately decided to put my search on hold. I informed Norm of my decision, and I felt not an ounce of ill-will. I expected that I’d be made to feel guilty for wasting his time and effort. On the contrary, he understood and appreciated my reasons for halting the search. I knew he would be that person I’d be calling on when I resumed my house hunt. During this hiatus, my neighbours met with another agent and (unfortunately) gave my contact info to him. From the very next day, that agent hounded me constantly, even though I said that I didn’t need his services. Till today, I get emails and phone calls. This unfortunate incident made me appreciate Norm on a whole different level! He understood and respected my need for time. He will be my realtor till the day I buy my last home, and I would recommend him to anyone I know. He recognizes that the home buying decision is one of the most important of anyone’s life. I’m the one with the big decision to make. I’m the one who must live in this house for years to come. He just gets it!!!

Norm, thank you a million times over!!- Soomy Bissondial

Norman and Anita accurately provided all the pros and cons in a difficult market.  I felt we were working together as a team.  They were able to bring perspective and calm in a professional way even when facing agents that were less so.  It’s difficult to find true competence in this market, everyone claims to be an expert and the best.  If they were able to work with me, someone who is thorough and likes to call all the shoots, then they can work with anyone.  You can trust Norman Hathaway and Anita Bostok to have your best interests at heart!- John Crook

When my mother considered downsizing a few years ago, she reached out to Norman to help her look for something smaller.   He was so patient and kind with her even though she must have looked at a million houses and didn't end up buying anything.  When my mother died and I had to sell her house, I thought he would be the perfect person to help. This turned out to be true.  Norm and Anita helped me with valuing the house for tax purposes as well as setting a competitive listing price.  They were very kind and thoughtful - so important when dealing with the estate of a loved one - while doing all the work to make the house much more saleable.  They coordinated the painting and minor repairs and staged it to look it's best. As a result, even in be a depressed housing market, they sold the house for over asking, and much more than I would have expected.  Altogether they made what is generally a very stressful experience totally manageable.  I would absolutely recommend Norman and Anita to anyone buying or selling a house. And it's all true - you two were great.  Thanks again! -Lise Lotter

We had the pleasure of selling our house in Brampton with Norman and Anita in early 2017. Their expertise shines through in every step of the process. They conveyed their understanding of the market so we could set the most strategic price.  They accommodated the fact that we were often out of province, reducing our stress as we always felt our property was in good hands. They were always reachable and communicative. They handled prospective buyers on offer night with precision and grace. And it all resulted in results beyond our expectations. Our biggest regret in the process is moving out of province and missing out on their stellar care and work. Thank you again, Norman and Anita!  -Rebecca Taylor and Scott Viger

My experience. From the first meeting until the closing we have felt with certainty Anita and Norman have put us first, above all else. Anita brought her own personal items to help stage the house, her ideas were amazing and accurate. Norman helped organize the whole preparation including utilizing his wide range of contacts, painters etc. to complete the process. Their suggestions on the sale price, the offer process and the closing were all in our best interest and that is a very comforting feeling as a seller. Never once did they say they were not available and physically helped in every aspect of the process sacrificing their own schedules. We felt like their only concern and that is very rare in this business. My recommendation  for any of my friends and family is to use Anita and Norman for any real estate transaction! The Zafer Family. - M. Zafer
