About Hearthstone
Peter
Bennett, a native of Halifax and a Dalhousie graduate in Commerce and Law founded Hearthstone in November 1983, following 18 years as a
senior executive with a trust company and two major Canadian property
management and development companies.
“ I saw the need for specialized property management services exclusively
for homeowners. I had
heard from transferring employees of their worries about their home while
away and had spoken to investors who wanted to own homes, but didn’t have
time or the expertise to manage them. It was clear that these owners needed
a hands-on manager who realized that a home was more than bricks and
mortar”
Out of these findings came Hearthstone Property Management Services Inc.
We are located in the centre of the City of Toronto on trendy Bayview Avenue. We have a staff of three and utilize the services of quality tradesmen - most of who have been working with us for over 10 years.
Our Name
Peter Bennett- “ I was sitting in front of our fireplace one night with my wife Martha, trying to come up with a name for our new business. Aided by a Thesaurus and a book of antonyms and synonyms, we struggled to find a word or concept that would convey the warmth, solidity and permanence we hoped would typify our company.
Sitting in front of our fire has always brought a feeling of peace and comfort and it wasn’t long before that atmosphere stimulated our discussion and took us from “fireplace” to ‘hearth” to “hearthstone”
Hearthstone In The Community
Our community is particularly vibrant, comprising as it does Leaside and North Toronto. The schools are excellent and we have strong community organizations
Hearthstone is a strong supporter of Leaside
Rotary and Rotary International. We actively participate in all things
Rotary and particularly the Rotary Community Corn Roast which is held the
3rd Sunday of September each year at Trace Manes Park in Leaside.
