About the
ARMSTRONG FIELD GROUP
at ALUXETY Real Estate

           It started in Salem in 1944.

In 1944, Lillienne I. Field opened Field Real Estate in Salem. Real estate was almost entirely a man's business at the time, and she didn't let that stop her. Over three decades she built one of Salem's most respected brokerages and became the first woman appointed to the Greater Salem Board of REALTORS^®, known today as North Shore REALTORS^®. People trusted her because she was honest, fair, and did exactly what she said she would do.

Her grandson, Jim Armstrong, earned his Massachusetts real estate license in 2000. Within two years he was one of the top three REALTORS^® in Salem, and he was soon promoted to manage the Salem office of Vernon A. Martin, Inc. Realtors. In 2005, he founded Armstrong Field Real Estate, fulfilling his grandmother's wish to see her business carried on.

In 2024, Armstrong Field Real Estate merged with Aluxety Real Estate and became the Armstrong Field Group. The name and the values stayed the same. What changed is the support behind our clients: more resources, a wider reach, and modern marketing tools.

Who We Are Today

The Armstrong Field Group is a team of experienced REALTORS^® serving Essex, Middlesex, and Suffolk Counties. Jim has lived on the North Shore since 1961. He grew up in Danvers, spent more than 30 years in Salem, and now lives in North Beverly. That kind of local knowledge doesn't come from a market report.

We work as a coordinated team, so someone is always available when you need an answer. That matters most when a deal is moving quickly or the situation is stressful.

Where We Focus

• Historic, waterfront, and luxury homes, plus condominiums
• Seniors and downsizers. Jim holds the SRES^® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation
• Estate and probate sales. We guide families through a property after a loved one's passing
• First-time buyers. We offer patient, step-by-step guidance (ABR^® designation)
• Out-of-state relocation. We help buyers who are new to the North Shore
• Energy-efficient homes. Jim holds the GREEN designation

How We Work

Jim is also a Massachusetts Certified Real Estate Instructor, and teaching shapes how we work with clients. When clients understand the process, they make better decisions and feel much less stress. So we explain what's happening, why it matters, and what your options are. Then we help you decide. You won't get pressure or surprises from us.

Clients tend to describe us the same way: responsive, patient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. As one client put it:

"From finding a potential home to closing, Jim was right there and just a simple email or phone call away."

Rooted in the North Shore

This is home for us, and we try to give back. Jim cooks for people experiencing homelessness several times a year through local organizations. Over the years, the team has sponsored events like Taste of Salem, Alive After Five, and the Salem Snow Ball. We've also supported the Boys & Girls Club, Salem Little League, Salem/Swampscott Blades Youth Hockey, and the Salem Main Street Initiative.

Knowledge. Trust. Integrity.

Lillienne Field built her business on those three values in 1944. We still work by them today.
