Not only did Jim help us buy a house, but he also helped us transition from another state to life in Philadelphia. His knowledge of the city and his helpful recommendations on everything from restaurants to contractors to dog walkers continue to make a difference as we settle into our new home.

We want to highly recommend Jim for your real estate needs in Greater Philadelphia. My wife and I decided about 9 months ago that we wanted to consider a move from the West Coast to Philadelphia and look at buying a home in the city.  We contacted Jim back then and arranged to meet with him during our preliminary visit to Philadelphia.  We then worked with him after that visit and looked at various properties and neighborhoods virtually with him. We were so glad we did this since it helped us get an early foundation on areas of the city which are so different from California and Oregon. When we made the move in October 2024, our first day here started with a meeting and visits to many properties. We found that Jim is very diligent, extremely competent and that he stays very, very focused on providing great client services.  He helped us through the entire process of learning about the market and with every aspect of the real estate transaction. He was also very supportive of the process of moving escrow along in a very timely manner and helped us to meet and even exceed our schedule. Jim went well beyond the call of duty and was always available to us day or night.  We weren't sure when Jim actually slept  :) One example of his exceptional client service was his help with the Philadelphia homestead property tax exemption process.  After we closed escrow and just prior to the application deadline, we realized that we were missing one document. We called Jim while we parked on the street near Center City.  He stopped what he was doing and drove up to our car and hand delivered the missing document we needed.  That allowed us to file on time and get approved! After we closed escrow, Jim continues to reach out to us to see if we need any help or have any questions. Jim is an expert on the Philadelphia market and shows his knowledge and love for this city.  Jim has a great sense of humor which made the buying process even easier. In conclusion, we are very thankful that we found Jim and were able to work with him.

Jim is an amazing, diligent, hard working realtor. He was super helpful throughout the whole process of purchasing a condo in Philadelphia. We communicated for over a year constantly sending places back and forth before landing on a great location in Center City. Also was super helpful in providing me with a lending agent!!

I sold a house with Jim in the spring of 2024, and I can’t imagine going through this experience with anyone else. Of all the people I had to communicate with during this process, Jim stood out as the most knowledgeable, competent and trustworthy. I would recommend him to anyone without a moment’s hesitation. He’s personable, experienced, very responsive and will have your back from start to finish. As long as I live in the area, Jim will be the only realtor I choose!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Jim Armstrong in the sale of our longtime rental property in Philadelphia.  We sold it from across the country and Jim handled everything for us.  This was critical to accomplishing pre-sale repairs.  He was the consummate professional; he always had well thought-out solutions when inevitable problems occurred throughout the process.  We really trusted his judgment and expertise.  I would not think twice about using Jim as a realtor again and you should not too!

Jim helped my wife and I purchase our first home. As first time buyers, we had a lot of questions and Jim was very patient and explained everything we needed to know. His standout quality is his knowledge of the area, and he helped us find a home in an area we didn’t even know to look. Throughout the whole process he was very actively involved and responsive which made the process so simple for us. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home in Philadelphia!

From the start of the process, Jim was a highly knowledgeable resource for us as first time homebuyers. He is super familiar with Philly neighborhoods and helped us understand the cost and scale of various home repairs. We would recommend him to anyone and continue to work with Jim in the future
