The Signal: The Unstaged Agent

THE SIGNAL

Why You Don't Sell Empty Houses (And Why You Are Selling One Now).

You know the power of Staging.

You walk into a vacant listing. It feels small. Cold. Echoey.

The buyer walks in, looks around for 30 seconds, and leaves. They can't "feel" it.

So you bring in the Stager.

You add the mid-century modern sofa. You place the fresh flowers on the island. You adjust the lighting to hit the hardwood floors just right.

Suddenly, it’s not a house. It’s a Home.

The buyer walks in and thinks: "This is where we will have Sunday dinners."

The price goes up $50k. The days on market drop.

Staging is the art of engineering emotion.

Now, look at your own Digital Presence.

Is it Staged?

Or is it a vacant room with peeling paint?

The Paradox of the Luxury Agent.

I see agents who spend $5,000 staging a living room to sell a $1M asset.

But they refuse to spend $1,000 staging themselves — the asset that sells every house.

Your digital profile (Website, LinkedIn, Bio) is your permanent Open House.

It is showing 24/7/365.

If a client lands on your link and sees:

A broken layout (peeling paint).
A generic template (cheap furniture).
A wall of text (clutter).

They feel the same way they feel in a vacant house: Cold.

They don't see the value. They don't see the "Sunday dinners." They see a transaction.

Logic adapts to Emotion.

If you win the emotional battle in the first 3 seconds (with atmosphere, design, and polish), the client will find logical reasons to hire you.

If you lose the emotional battle (with friction and bad design), no amount of "experience" on your resume will save you.

Don't let your digital curb appeal kill the deal before they even knock.

THE PROTOCOL (DIY Guide)

The Emergency Audit: Are You Dead Online?

When I audit agents, I find a terrifying statistic:

50% of the links in bios are dead.

Not "slow." Dead. 404 Error. Server not found.

This screams "Negligence" to a client. It is better to have no website than a broken one.

Execute this triage right now:

1. The Pulse Check
Open your bio link on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Facebook. Click it.

Does it load? Does it look right on mobile?

If it's broken or looks like 1999 — DELETE IT.

Remove the link immediately. Stop sending traffic to a grave.

2. The Platform Sweep

Don't just check Instagram. Check everywhere.

TikTok: Is there an old Linktree you forgot about?
Facebook: Does the "About" section link to a domain you stopped paying for 2 years ago?
LinkedIn: Is your "Contact Info" pointing to a dead brokerage page? Clean it up. Silence is better than noise.

3. The Rebuild (or The Call)
Once you've deleted the dead links, you have a choice:

Build a new one yourself (Wix/Squarespace). Spend the weekend learning design.
Or admit that you need infrastructure.

If you deleted your link today, you are now homeless online.

That’s an emergency. Fix it fast.

Est. Time: 10 minutes to audit/delete. 40 hours to rebuild alone.
