Jason Samia

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.

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.

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.
