For Jennifer Chuason, what began as a single condo purchase has grown into a portfolio of 26 homes — each one carrying its own story of purpose, stability, and family. A businesswoman, mother of five, and now semi-retired, she looks back at that first decision more than a decade ago as the spark that reshaped her life.
Her family runs a business supplying raw materials for the steel industry, while she also manages a poultry and small fruit farm in Pampanga. Every property she owns comes from years of work and sacrifice.
“I worked hard for everything I have,” Jennifer shares. “That’s why every investment had to be worth it — a place that’s safe, a community my family can enjoy, and a property that can grow in value.”
A Journey That Began With One Choice
Jennifer’s story started in 2013, when her children encouraged her to invest in SMDC’s Grass Residences in Quezon City. What she thought would be a weekend space became something more when the ease of having a pool and mall within reach changed her perspective on condo living.
That single purchase became her investment model. She expanded to Shell and Shore Residences in Pasay for bay proximity, Sea Residences near Mall of Asia for tourist appeal, and Wind Residences in Tagaytay for its vacation atmosphere.
“Each property had its own personality,” she explains. “Grass was for convenience, Sea and Shore were for business, Wind was for leisure. Every home answered a need — and became income sources that continue to provide for us.”
Comfort Today, Confidence Tomorrow
Now semi-retired, Jennifer moves between properties, enjoying personal escapes while others generate passive income through leasing. Some units offer poolside relaxation or Tagaytay’s tranquility; others provide financial confidence.
“At my age, I don’t want stress anymore,” she says. “I just wait for the rent at the end of the month, and enjoy the amenities whenever I stay.”
A Legacy That Endures
Beyond income, every decision considered her children’s future. Four are working professionals, while her youngest remains in school — and Jennifer sees each unit as preparation for their tomorrow.
“When I invested, I was always thinking of my children,” she shares. “These are homes they can live in or manage as their own investments. What I built today, they will carry forward.”
Jennifer also values knowing her properties are maintained by Greenmist Property Management Corporation (GPMC), ensuring her investments retain value and remain enjoyable family spaces.
What began as one decision became a chain of opportunities: homes that serve, investments that sustain, and a legacy that endures. Jennifer’s journey proves that purposeful real estate choices shape lives today while giving the next generation a head start tomorrow.
