SOLD in Ascot Estates: An As-Is Home Sale Done Right in Irmo, SC
Sold home in Ascot Estates neighborhood, Irmo SC — as-is sale by The Patrick O'Connor Team
1009 Steeple Ridge Road — Irmo, South Carolina
After 20 years in the same home, this Ascot Estates seller wanted one thing: a simple, as-is sale — no repairs, no renegotiations, no surprises. Here's how The Patrick O'Connor Team made it happen.
Selling a home you've owned for two decades is a big decision. Selling it as-is — without updates, repairs, or staging overhauls — takes the right strategy and the right team. This is the story of how we sold a home in Ascot Estates, one of Irmo's most established neighborhoods, on exactly the terms our seller wanted.
The Situation: 20 Years in One Home, Ready for What's Next
After 20 years, it was time for our seller to move on to the next chapter. They weren't looking to invest in renovations or navigate weeks of repair negotiations. They wanted an easy, as-is sale — a clean transaction that respected both their time and the home they'd loved for two decades.
An as-is sale doesn't mean settling for less. It means setting the right expectations from day one and marketing the home to the buyers who will value it for what it is.
The Strategy: Marketing, Exposure, and Transparency
Three things drove the success of this sale:
Professional marketing that maximized visibility. We invested in professional photography and targeted online marketing to present the home at its best and put it in front of as many qualified buyers as possible — not just locally, but everywhere buyers search for Irmo homes.
Massive exposure across every channel. The home received more than 30,000 views across the MLS, our website, social media, and YouTube marketing. When a home reaches that many eyes, the right buyer finds it.
Transparency from day one. We were upfront with agents and buyers from the very beginning: the seller intended to sell the property in its current condition. No mixed signals, no mid-transaction surprises. That honesty built trust, attracted serious buyers, and protected the deal all the way to closing.
The Result: Sold — On the Seller's Terms
The home sold on July 24, 2026 for $690,000. And most importantly, the seller was extremely happy with the as-is terms of the sale. No repair lists. No renegotiations. Just a smooth transaction and a seller free to move forward.
That's what a successful sale looks like: not just a closing, but a closing on the terms that mattered most to our client.
