Many of you have followed me since the early ActiveRain days. I started my ActiveRain journey back in 2007-2009 blogging about Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach real estate as Christopher Webster with Island Palms Realty - 1091 Redi Mix Road, Little River, SC 29566 and info@myrtlebeachhomeandloan.com.

I get it — sometimes you just need to SELL and move on.No open houses. No showings while you're trying to pack. No waiting 60 days for a buyer to get a loan.That's why I partnered with multiple iBuyer and institutional cash platforms — including our exclusive platform at EPIQUE Realty called CliqueOffers.Here's how it works:You tell me you want to sell, I run your home through 5+ platforms at once and bring you the strongest cash offers within 24 hours. If you take one, we can close in as little as 7-14 days. You pick your closing date.And here's the best part for you — when these platforms buy your home, they list it with ME to resell it. So I am highly motivated to get you the highest offer possible.What Do These Cash Platforms Look For?Every platform has slightly different guidelines... 09/18/2026

Some were teachers and drum circle facilitators, others were professional musicians, and aspiring musicians. Each day and evening, as a collective we were introduced to a variety of improvisation music-making techniques, theories, and endless opportunities to play, dance, ... 08/02/2023
