Things you can't do when you're trying to sell your house...

1. Bake anything. Your baking utensils have been packed and put into storage.

2. Have people over. The blank looks on their faces will only be outdone by the baren "staged" appearance of your home.

3. Get in quality TV time. Your big screen was also packed. It makes the house feel "small" said the agent...

4. Enjoy a beer. Nope, that would leave a negative scent (alcohol) in the air. Buyers associate it with a bad homeowner.

5. Sleep in until just before you have to leave for work. Sorry, you have to clean house before you leave in case an agent wants to show your house during the day.

6. Stay organized. Remember that file cabinet? Um, yeah, it's in storage, too - along with your baking utensils.

7. Do the dishes tomorrow. Wrong answer! Dirty dishes? What would a potential buyer think? SLOBS is what they would think.

8. Fix Computers, Cars or just about anything else. Your tools? Spare parts? Reference manuals? Yep. All in storage.

9. Save Money and Time. Nope, you're out at the store every 15 minutes buying something that's in the back of your storage unit. Do you see a theme here?

10. Eat in more. Ha! Risk making a mess of your lovely kitchen? Yah, right!
