House Staging and Open House Cleaning
What is an Open House Cleaning?
If you are preparing your house to sell, you have already heard of open house and house staging. Open house is an informal event hosted by the realtor (listing agent) that usually runs for 1-3 hours and, essentially, anyone and everyone is allowed to come in and browse the property at their leisure. Staging the home involves redecorating, rearranging furniture, cleaning and other aesthetic strategies to present the home in the best possible light. This is essential if you are looking to sell your home in top dollar value.
Staging your home is important to make it as appealing as possible to the most potential buyers. It can make it easier for them to envision themselves living in a home if the house is properly staged, free of clutter, and sparkling clean. While you can always DIY house staging or hire a professional staging company, cleaning your home top to bottom may be a bit of a stretch. A busy schedule or following a timeline for moving out of your home may keep you away from deep cleaning your home. If you are the realtor, you know how important it is to have a clean home before an open house. Hire professional cleaning companies in Minneapolis and St. Paul to assist you on this task and ensure that the property looks immaculate and open house ready.

The most visited mall in the country, the Mall of America, which is located in Bloomington, MN provides numerous options for shopping and entertainment. The state is also home to the Mayo Clinic (located in Rochester, MN) which is considered one of the world’s best hospitals. Furthermore, the state also houses more than a dozen of Fortune 500 companies contributing to Minnesota’s lower poverty level and better job opportunities. It’s no wonder that many people decide to move to Minnesota because of these and also because of great schools and affordable housing. If you are looking to move to Minnesota, here are the best places to consider:
Rochester
As mentioned, this is the birth place of the Mayo Clinic and this is also the reason why it is nicknamed as the “Med City”. As fate would have it, the Mayo Clinic started after a tornado struck Rochester where Dr. William Worrall Mayo and his sons were residing during that time. More than one third of the city were destroyed and they helped for the medical care for the wounded survivors. They also asked assistance from the Sisters of Saint Francis of Rochester, Minnesota to help them nurse the survivors. When the crisis subsited, the sisters funded the hospital in the condition that the Dr. W.W. Mayo and his sons would provide surgical and medical care. Today, the hospital plays a major role in the local economy by employing 34,000 people and attracting 2 million annual visitors.
Duluth
Lake Superior, the biggest freshwater lake in the world, provides Duluth access to and from the Atlantic Ocean. Duluth was considered the richest city in the US in 1910. The economic high is due to mining, logging and shipping industry that afforded Duluth its title. Today, it is home to Duluth International Airport and the University of Minnesota Duluth.

Edina
Edina is one of the most affluent suburbs in Minnesota. It only has one high school (Edina High School) with students achieving 99% graduation rate and 96% college enrolment.
