Bio:

James Field Armstrong

Jim has been a resident of the North Shore for most of his life. Born in Chicopee, MA, his family moved to Danvers in 1961. Jim lived in Salem for over 30 years, and currently resides in Beverly. After receiving a degree in Conservation Technology, Jim worked in Salem in the marine electronics industry before opening a retail store in 1978 - Armstrong Animals Pet Center. He successfully operated the store for 19 years, acquiring vast experience in customer service and marketing.

Jim received his real estate license in 2000, and having found his new career niche, became one of the top 3 Realtors® in Salem by 2002. He was promoted to manager of the Salem office of Vernon A. Martin, Inc. Realtors in the fall of 2002.

Following in the steps of his grandmother, Lilienne Field, who was one of the most outstanding and respected Realtors® in Salem from the 1940's through 1978, James Field Armstrong opened his own office, Armstrong Field Real Estate. Like his grandmother, his focus is on customer service. He contributes his success not just as a result of his customer service and attention to detail, but also to his marketing and selling skills.

Jim works with home buyers and sellers on the North Shore of Massachusetts. His specialties are first time home buyers, providing complete marketing plans for home sellers, luxury homes and estates, foreclosures and short sales, and the sale of businesses. He is part of the Green Team, which helps their clients as a team. This provides better service for their clients, and insures that someone is available 7 days a week.

Mark & Arlene Turner
Haverhill, MA

"I am sure that I am the most fortunate person in the whole world to have such a cool little house in my favorite town...and I don't know if I ever thanked you properly for that. Thank you."

Jessica M.
Salem, MA

"You are personable, trustworthy, very accommodating, and accessibility was great! We felt all areas of of the home buying process were covered very well. We were very happy with everything. Great Job!"

Dan & Angela Giadone
Main Street, Groveland, MA

"As first time home buyers, the process went smoothly, and we would definitely use you again as our broker. Thanks Jim!"

Leslie Levine

Kim & James Mackey

Agnes Sahagian
Loring Ave, Salem, MA

"Informative, understands customers situation. Informs me on all aspects of real estate. Does not "play the game""

Jack Macleod
Union Street, Salem, MA

"I first met Jim when he was the seller's agent on a house in Salem we were purchasing. He was so honest, kind, and easy to talk to that my husband and I swore that if we ever sold our we would list it with him. Well, 3 years later we did list our house and asked Jim to be our listing agent. (We also also asked us to be our buyer's agent when we bought a new, bigger house soon after) Jim has a vast amount of knowledge. Not only about the house buying/selling process but also about the the North Shore in general, neighborhoods, mortgages, home repair etc. We spent a lot of time with Jim during the time it took to sell our house and we couldn't recommend him more highly. What I love about him is that although he knows a lot (definitely more than we do!), he isn't pushy. For example, when he suggested we lower the price on our house he never pressured us to do so. He simply gave us the advice and moved on. If you're buying or selling a home on the North Shore, you have to go with Jim Armstrong. Jim IS the North Shore!"

Nathan & Christina Bracket
Linden Street, Salem, MA

"Would not have sold the home without Jim's assistance and guidance!"

Ray Ostrowski
Danvers, MA

"Jim is a wonderful real estate agent and all around nice guy. Buying and selling a house can be incredibly stressful, but Jim's calm demeanor put me at ease throughout the process. At the same time, he knows how to get results and get things done quickly. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a house on the North Shore!
Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity"

Remlee Green
Salem, MA

"Even though the house we bought wasn't expensive enough to provide him with much of a commission, Jim went above and beyond with helping us get into our house. When we couldn't find a good house in our budget, he showed us one we otherwise wouldn't have seen. When the mortgage bank balked at the home inspection report, he explained to them that the house wasn't falling down. When the smoke alarms hadn't been installed on closing day, he got them installed and contacted the fire marshal for an inspection in time for the signing. We recommend Jim to all our friends as the best Realtor ever.
Top Qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity"

Tom Greene
Salem, MA

"Jim worked diligently to fill a long-term vacancy in one of our Salem office buildings. I was very satisfied with his work and would gladly endorse him and his professionalism.
Top Qualities: Personable, Good Value, High Integrity"

Patrick DeIulis
Salem, MA

"I have purchased and sold properties with Jim a few times since 2004. He has great knowledge of his business, is very trustworthy and I was very happy with the results of my transactions. He was always attentive to my needs and provided a high quality of work, helping me with all the steps needed to buy or sell my properties. I highly recommend Jim as a real estate broker and agent.
Top Qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity"

Gil de Paula
Florida

"After working with Jim to sell my home AND purchase a new home on the same day, I realized that I could not have done it without him. It was a smooth and seamless process. Jim consistently provides the highest quality of professionalism and I highly recommend you contact him for your real estate needs.
Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity"
