About
Jim has been a resident of the North Shore for most of his life. Born in Chicopee, MA, he moved to Danvers in 1961. Most of his relatives lived in Salem, so as a result he spent most of his childhood and adult life here.
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 experience in customer service and marketing.
After living in Salem for over 30 years, Jim now lives in Beverly, MA.
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 is an expert in his field and in my experiences with him as my selling agent I have found Jim to be caring, innovative, and available any time night or day. Where other agents have been slow to adopt new approaches Jim has been on the cutting edge of technology with a firm grasp on the best ways to get your property seen online. His practices are backed up by both analytics and reputation. Top Qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity.""

""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!""
