About Us:
Jason Samia's Biography
Before becoming a REALTOR, I was a computer engineer at Sun Microsystems Inc in Northern California. I was offered the position right before I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona in Summer 2000. I lived in the Bay Area for 5 years. I learned valuable traits, knowledge, and experience working for a big corporation. I finally decided to switch career because I had a chance to discover myself. I learned that I enjoy interacting with people more than with computers. Working at Sun taught me a great deal technology, professionalism, ethics, and business concepts. I have some advantage over many of the real estate agents because of this. With my extensive experience in IT, I feel that I am be able to serve my clients with better tools and even greater personality.
I believe choosing the right agent is a very important task when it comes to making decisions in real estate. Many clients do not get a chance to know their agents very well until it's too late. I hope my bio will provide you a better sense of the type of person I am.
Education
I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in California State University of Pomona (aka Cal Poly Pomona) in June 2000, majoring in Computer Information Systems. While employed at Sun, I had on going training and education in technology, general business, and work ethics. I passed several industry recognized certifications as part of my credentials.
I believe education is very important. As a Realtor, I am required to take courses on a regular basis. But I am not going to stop there. I plan to take as much classes as possible to provide my clients a better overall service. I am getting my broker's license in the near future and my MBA at the same time.
Values
I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I treasure the relationship I have with them. Nothing matters if I don't have them to share it with. My family is the main reason why I moved back to Southern California.
I don't make promises I don't intend to keep. Not fulfulling a promise is like lying. And I consider myself an honest person. It is very difficult for me to trust someone once they have lied or deceived me. I aspire to have an image of honesty and integrity from my clients.
I appreciate and respect all the different cultures we have here in California and in the world. My parents raised their kids well. They taught me how to be civilized, polite, and have good manners. I do not differentiate people of different race, ethnicity, age, or sexual orrientation with respect. What is important to me and what really counts is each person's character.
Traits
I am very resourceful, efficient, and reliable. I'm flexible and adaptive to change. I've been told that I am a great listener and very considerate. I'm very goal orriented. I like to be creative sometimes, depending on the situation, and try doing things differently.
I strongly believe I have what it takes to meet if not exceed my clients' expectations.
History
I was born in the Philippines and came here in the United States in 1990 when I was thirteen years of age. I went to a local private elementary school in Long Beach at St Barnabas. I attended high school at Jordan where I graduated in 1995. I spent two years at a community college in Long Beach City before transferring to Cal Poly Pomona in 1997.
Language
I speak fluent English and Tagalog. I know a little Spanish and would love to learn more.
Interests, Hobbies, and Extra Curriculum Activities
I am a very active individual. I try to be anyway. I am always exploring and looking for something adventurous to do. In summer of 2005, I've backpacked through Europe for 3 months on my own, visiting over 40 cities in 15 countries. I ran the whole 26.2 miles during the Long Beach Marathon in 2004, and participated in a few triathlon events, including LA Triathlon and the Wildflower Half Ironman. I try to stay healthy by going to the gym, playing basketball, football, volleyball, and tennis with friends at the local park. I enjoy a long bike ride, a run by the beach or on the trail, or swim in a lake. For the past couple of years I've been learning how to surf and snowboard. I have yet to join my friends hike 13,000+ ft high mountains or go sky dive.
I think life is way too short. I want to experience as much as what life has to offer.

Testimonials
Linn Heng, June 2006: Long Beach - Long Beach
Jason Samia is an excellent real estate agent! He was helpful and patience in the search for my new home. He made the whole complicated process a breeze to get through. With his guidance, I found the perfect condo for me and my family. I would recommend him to anyone in search of their new home!
Gary and Malinda Reyes, August 2006: Pleasanton - Long Beach
Jason helped us find the perfect income property in Long Beach, CA in a very short time frame. Since we live in northern California, Jason made sure our visits to Long Beach were productive. After our initial visit, Jason was quickly able to determine our criteria and price range. We wasted little time looking at property on subsequent visits. Once our selection was made, Jason was able to walk us through every step of the process. Our original loan had problems that almost prevented us from buying the home. Jason kept his focus on our issues and even found us another loan within a week! Thanks to Jason’s perseverance and attention to details, we were able to buy the home of our choice!

Gerry & Cathy Maranan, January 2007: Lakewood - Anaheim
We have a really good experience working with Jason in helping us find a home that we like and affordable to us. His service was excellent. He is not pushy but reminded us about dates to avoid penalties. We have learned a lot about Real Estate and how things work when buying a home. Those things that we have learned from Jason helped us a lot in making major decisions. Jason managed his time pretty well so as to fit our schedules. We were able to have our very own house and we found a new friend. We will definitely ask his help again in the future. I already started recommending Jason to some of my friends even before we got our house.
"Thank you so much Brother. You have become a blessing to me and my family."
Edward & Anastasia Rameau, Jan 2007: Downey - Downey
After going with a few realtors, our experiences had not been positive ones. We first met Jason Samia by chance, when we had been attracted to a home that seemed too good to be true (and it was). However, by trying to view this property, we got a hold of Jason’s number and that’s how we met him. From day one, he made it clear to us that he was not just going to show us places and try to get us to buy a property, but rather, he wanted to educate us about everything we were doing as far as buying a property and to inform us about the real estate market today. Jason has great knowledge of real estate and he had even prepared a thick binder of information to show us and his other existing/future customers. We were not expecting a class on realty, but that’s what he gave us!
Jason also met us at late hours of the night. With our long work days, we were sometimes unavailable on the weekends. However, every time we picked up the phone to make an appointment with Jason, he was always available at anytime. What we liked most about Jason was the fact that he was more a friend than a business partner. We really felt very safe and secure in his hands. When we had any concerns, he had a way of keeping us calm, encouraging us not to give up, and providing us with good results. To this day, we still keep in touch, as busy as he is. So we know that he didn’t just help us in order to help himself. He helped us because he really cared about us and wanted to see us move into our home. He befriended us as would a relative or a true friend. We know we had lucked-out big-time, in finding this realtor! We seeing Jason as a great blessing to us!

Jason,
I would like to thank you for your efficiency and pleasant demeanor, as we worked together to obtain a common goal on the Deauville property.
It was so refreshing to work with an agent with integrity, follow through and just plain up front candidness.
Perhaps there will be another opportunity to work together in the future. I look forward to it!
Your Friend in Real Estate

Tarbell, REALTORS,
KC & Adam Johnson - April 3, 2008
Dear Jason Samia,
We just wanted to let you know how appreciative we are of the time you took with us to go over the buying process. We are first time homebuyers and the process can be quite daunting. We were happy to see how much you actually do for us along the way. Since we are still a little ways out from purchasing, we were happy to see that you were still extremely gracious and encouraging. We know that with the level of service and professionalism we received from you this early in the process, when it comes down to crunch time you will be there to battle for us and support us! Thank you for your time and for meeting us in a time that worked into our schedule! We can honestly say that we are looking forward to signing our lives away with a home purchase because we know you will take care of us!
Thanks so much!
KC & Adam Johnson
