Is it appropriate for a buyer to open up the refrigerator door and to look in the closed kitchen cupboards? That is my question for you. Please take the poll. I will tell you something that is definitely, definitely not appropriate in my opinion, is to open up the medicine cabinet in the washroom where people obviously live in the home.

That to me is such a no -no, but I'm curious about whether you think it's okay for buyers to open up the fridge door, the freezer door, and the cupboard doors in the kitchen. Take the poll. Let's find out what everybody thinks.
