Surgery Coming Up, Moving to Vancouver, Jeffrey Sold His Seattle Home in 30 Days
I had surgery coming up. I was moving to Vancouver, BC with my partner. I was on the HOA’s rental waitlist with no clear timeline. I didn’t want to keep three properties or wait forever to be told I could rent.

A Cross-Border Move and a Surgery on the Calendar
Jeffrey owned a condo he didn’t want to keep. The unit was in good shape overall, kitchen and appliances were dated, minor paint work needed. He was moving to Vancouver, BC with his partner. He had upcoming surgery. He was already carrying other properties; the condo was a non-primary asset adding stress. He’d tried to rent it, but the HOA had him on a waitlist with no timeline. He wanted to be done within 30 days. Pricing reference: $300,000 to $310,000 range, flexible. HomeTap had a share that would be paid off at closing.
Sold Inside 30 Days
The team built the close around Jeffrey’s surgery and move.
HOA Waitlist No Longer Mattered
Selling let him stop waiting on a process that had no clear timeline.
HomeTap Coordination Handled
The team worked with HomeTap directly to handle the equity-share payoff.
Here’s What Happened
Jeffrey’s path to closing before surgery and a Vancouver move
Intro
Why a Traditional Listing Wasn’t an Option
Listing meant photos, showings, contingencies, and a financed buyer on a 45 to 60 day arc. Jeffrey had a surgery date, a Vancouver move, and HomeTap’s share to coordinate. He needed certainty, not the possibility of a fall-through.
Turning point
Finding a Solution That Worked
Chris worked toward his $300,000 to $310,000 range with flexibility. The team coordinated directly with HomeTap so Jeffrey didn’t have to be the intermediary. The 30-day timeline was treated as a real constraint.
The Decision
A Smooth Path Forward
The contract came together same-day. No paint work required. No HOA rental approval needed.
The Outcome
Vancouver, Before Surgery
The deal closed inside the 30-day window. Jeffrey moved to Vancouver with his partner. The surgery happened on schedule. The condo was no longer on his plate.
