About Progressive Real Estate
Personal/Work Philosophy of Owner Jim Armstrong: Nothing worthy of accomplishment in life comes easy. Success consists of hard work and determination, or it is not worth succeeding. I like to work hard and have fun! The power of one's belief in themselves is the greatest tool any individual can possess. Believing in yourself helps solve the daily problems that are the stepping stones on the pathway to happiness and success. Finally, it is my belief that any accomplishment in life can be obtained if you (1) accept your goal as being extremely important to you, (2) constantly visualize yourself reaching that goal, (3) have the sincere desire and will to always be a WINNER. DREAM... BELIEVE... PERFORM... ACHIEVEPersonal Owner Jim Armstrong is a Minnesota native raised in Waseca, a smaller town 50 miles west of Rochester. He has resided in the Rochester area since 1986, after attending 4 years of college studying Engineering at The School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City, South Dakota. Since 1986 he has been licensed as a full-time REALTOR® in the State of Minnesota. Jim finds great satisfaction helping buyers find the perfect home and helping sellers by applying his expertise and knowledge of the market. This is only achieved through constant and extensive research of the real estate sold and presently on the market. He attributes his success to his work philosophy and a sincere professional approach to helping people. Jim loves the outdoors, hunting, fishing, canoeing, working outside at his home in the country, spending time with family and friends "up north" at a family cabin (Lake home), and at his family's place on the beach on South Padre Island, TX. Jim also loves to stay physically fit by eating healthy and working out every day, and mentally by being an avid reader. Most important of all is his faith in God and his personal relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jim's Achievements
[ - Back to Top - ] Testimonials: Hi Jim, I also needed this to get done on very short notice. After calling you Jim, you were able to set up an appointment and meet with Juan and his wife just a few days after receiving my request for help. During the course of the week that Juan and Tara were here in Rochester to check out the housing market, I realized that you put in many hours in working towards finding a house for Juan and Tara. I cannot emphasize enough how important it was for these two to meet some rather tight requirements for a house. Had they not found a house in their price range, they would not have agreed to move to Rochester. After a day of not really finding a house for them, you kept at it the next day and found them a house that they will end up buying later this summer. I realize that putting in the time that you did was no small feat given the short notice and busy schedule that I am sure that you have. I also realize that this was done in one of the tightest housing markets in Rochester's history. For this, I want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation. As there is a tight housing market, there is also a very tight employment market nationwide for the skills and education possessed by Juan. If Juan had not decided to transfer to Rochester, I would have had to expend a great deal of work and time in recruiting similar talent. I am glad that I do not have to do that. Your efforts in this matter truly exemplify your stated motto of "On the Go. Making Things Happen." You were on the go and made things happen. Thanks again, Stephen Hi Jim, Sincerely, Rusty & Vicki Dear Jim, Talk to you later. Arlin [ - Back to Top - ] Hi Jim, Pam and I are enjoying our new home and also appreciate your efforts with that purchase. We will call that our home for many many years as it is an exceptional piece of property. If I know of anybody that needs real estate services in the future, I’ll refer your name. Thanks again Jim and have a great one! Dan Jim-Thanks a million, couldn't have done it with out you! Thanks again for everthing that you have done for us. We really appreciate all that you did to help us get out home. We apologize that it was such a long, stressful process for everyone. Unfortunately, something that was beyond our control. Thanks for helping us get through it all : ) Rusty &Vicki [ - Back to Top - ] Jim, I have always been one to shop around, look for the best deal, shop the sales and try not to pay full price for anything. That was not the way to go when selling a house and we paid dearly for that mistake. When larry and I were ready to list the house and after interviewing different realtors the choice was between you and Geary. We went with Larry's choice because his commission rate was 5% compared to your 7%, so much for getting a good deal. I guess the old saying of you get what you pay for really applies in this case. After several months of double house payments because Geary couldn't get the job done, Larry finally decided enough is enough. I said this time we go with my choice because I know Jim can get the job done for us. He's aggressive and a real go getter and that's what we need. You came to see us right after I called you and got the ball rolling. I appreciated your knowledge of the market conditions here in Rochester and all your years of experience. I really liked the amount of both written and verbal communication between you, your assistant, and us. We had very little contact with our other agent and I figured that's how all the agents were. Boy, were Larry and I ever surprised at how you kept us informed as to all the activity that was going on with our old house. I think that is so important when you're trying to sell a house; being informed about what's going on. You and your assistant did a great job if that. Thanks for the gift certificate to Wellington's. I prefer the shrimp at the Hubbell House but they do a nice prime rib which Larry and I enjoy. Thursday is our anniversary so now Larry will have no excuse for taking me out for dinner! Thanks again Jim for the great job you did. I won't hesitate to refer my friends to you when they're in need of a realtor. I don't want anyone else to go through all the headaches and hassles we did just for the sake of saving some money on realtor fees. That was a big mistake! Thanks Jim! April Jim, Jim and Tammy [ - Back to Top - ] Jim, I also want to thank you for your patience and assistance in the past year, and especially in the past few months. It sure feels good to be a homeowner! Kaye Dear Jim, Thanks again Jim for everything you did to help me. Cindy Dear Jim, Jennifer [ - Back to Top - ] Jim, Dawn Jim, Sincerely, Juliane Hi Jim! God bless, Deb and Jerome Jim, Clay and Kris [ - Back to Top - ] Jim, Chris and Mark Dear Jim, We're gradually settling in here at Charter House. Things were rather chaotic at first; moving is an awful experience! Now we sometimes have the feeling that we moved to a different city. Regards, John Dear Jim Armstrong, Thanks again, Sherry and boys [ - Back to Top - ] |
