About Fisch + Antonette
Fisch + Antonette is a residential real estate law firm on College Street in downtown Toronto, at the corner of College and Bathurst. Joseph Fisch founded the practice in 1969, and the firm has since handled more than 50,000 real estate transactions across its history. The practice works with buyers and sellers throughout Ontario, focusing mainly on residential purchases, sales, and refinancing rather than a broader commercial caseload.
Alongside its real estate work, the firm prepares title insurance, notarizes documents, and drafts wills and powers of attorney. It also handles small business purchases and sales and incorporations for clients who need those services outside a real estate transaction. The team communicates with clients in eight languages, including English, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Hungarian, French, Hebrew, and Yiddish. Aliza Fisch has since joined the firm as a lawyer, bringing a second generation into the practice.

The neighbourhood
The firm's office is on the second floor at 419 College Street, at the southeast corner of College and Bathurst in downtown Toronto. That corner sits right at the edge of two well known inner-city neighbourhoods. Little Italy runs west along College Street from Bathurst toward Ossington, a stretch that became the centre of Toronto's Italian community by the 1920s. Harbord Village lies just northeast of the intersection, bordered by Bathurst to the west and College to the south. The firm's site notes the office is easily accessible by public transportation, without needing a car to get there.
