She raised and home schooled five wonderful children. In the midst of this potential chaos, Cary learned to manage the demands that home, family, home schooling and a business bring. She has lived daily with the process she delivers to her clients. Cary loves the challenge of discovering each client's unique organizing style so the systems she sets in place will be easy to maintain. She enjoys watching a "Welcome home" or " functional office" appear from the clutter and seeing the client's thrill at creating the home or office that they can enjoy! Recognizing that a client's home or office space is a highly emotional place, Cary uses a unique approach that identifies the purpose of each space by allocating "prime real estate" to the items used on a daily or weekly basis. With this purpose in mind, the client has the comfort and security to attain and manage a Clutter Free Welcome Home environment. Cary has organized all ages, all kinds of homes, small businesses, minivans, and garages. Her goals are to bring creative ideas to each client's needs and to work with the client until they attain a Clutter Free Welcome Home! Cary is here to: Give you ideas and guidance to make decisions Cheer you on and be your coach Walk you through the process Keep you accountable to get the job done Create a system to produce a Welcome Home The process of de-cluttering can be overwhelming.

Cary Farrell can out organize even you! Cary helped me organize my attic and created a miracle. She is fast, efficient and (need I say) organized. She does not judge, she only gently suggests. Do you REALLY need that object? How often do you use it? I highly recommend Cary.Billie **★★★★★ — Angela Tripp, June 2019** > Cary, what a true blessing you are! You would be SOOOO proud of me. My entire pantry and the kitchen drawers we looked at are all organized now. It feels so good! > The best thing I learned from you is how to think about my prime real estate, especially putting what I use most often within my reach. It seems intuitive, but you helped me to think outside of the box. For example, I don't have to just put food in the pantry because it's a pantry. Putting all of my kid's lunch stuff in that deep drawer under my counter top has been a HUGE help and time-saver in the morning when I make lunches every day. It also helped to put like utensils together to see what I had and what I didn't really need. I did a lot of weeding out. Thanks so much for your help Cary! **★★★★★ — Anna Kushner, June 2019** > Cary is a true pro. She was flexible in scheduling our work times for when I was available. (I work a night shift so she came to my home in the evenings.) From the minute she walked into my kitchen for our first decluttering session, she jumped right into beginning the task at hand. She tackled our huge project and took it one step at a time. When I felt overwhelmed, she calmly pushed ahead and directed me to work on the subtask she wanted me to complete. Cary offered continual guidance and encouragement to keep me on task. She clearly enjoys her work and the results show that. After five four-hour sessions where Cary worked non-stop, my house is now clutterfree! Hiring Clutter Free was well worth the investment and I feel so much better about my home now! **★★★★★ — Eric Vance, June 2019** > Cary worked closely with me to de-clutter and organize the entire house. > Cary is fabulous and goes above and beyond in every respect. It was a huge job and I was overwhelmed after accumulating items from multiple family members. Cary is extremely organized herself and develops a strategy and keeps the client involved throughout. She is positive yet assertive in not only deciding what to hold onto but also how to organize items based on their purpose and use and hauling mountains of items away to donate, and returning with a tax receipt. She works with the client in developing a process moving forward for each room and need. It was very well worth the price and saved me months and probably years of time and agony. I cannot say enough good things about working with Cary! **★★★★★ — Dianne Lawler, May 2019** > Clutter Free is a wonderful business designed to help manage the stress of moving and the organization of your home . I have used Clutter Free many times. Cary helps box and remove > donations, trash and "to the dump" items. She takes everything down the stairs and outside to her car. Cary talks you through "do I need to keep this or not", which helps you to make a decision either way. She will do anything to achieve a successful outcome. > I have come to value Cary's skills and trust her implicitly. I would hire her in a heartbeat. > Absolutely 5 stars!!!! **★★★★★ — Lina Project, March 2019** > This company is so amazing! My son hired her to set up the initial organization of his plumbing company’s new warehouse and I came in and worked with Cary as an helper. Cary stuck with this difficult project with unwavering good spirits. Her tenacity was impressive considering the project requirements changed several times as she worked. Cary can tackle any size project and comes with very innovative ideas. I highly recommend this company for your organizing needs! **★★★★★ — Wendy Clark, March 2019** > I have utilized Cary's organizing services for around 15 years now both professionally and personally. In addition for my mom and for my clients as well. Cary transforms structure. I wish I could write a book of how utilizing Cary's services changed my relationship with my mom and as well as with her other children and grandchildren in ways that nothing else was able to help. Also for myself, Cary has helped be strategic both in my home, during my move and in my office. I utilize her input daily in my different spheres. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Also I own a residential cleaning business and refer her to our clients. She changes lives. There's no shame, there's change, and her systems and principles carry with you. **Comment from Clutter Free:** > Thank you Wendy! What a blessing it is to watch the transformation happen and to see the principles I share bring life! ## Selected projects - [Closets](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/closets-pj-vj~5344108) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Tool/Supply Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tool-supply-office-pj-vj~5344128) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-pj-vj~5344162) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Kids Playroom/ Shelves](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kids-playroom-shelves-pj-vj~5344145) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [The Dining Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-dining-room-pj-vj~1731148) - Location: Chapel Hill, NC - Photos: 4 [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/professional-organizer/clutter-free-pfvwus-pf~916434508) ## Ideabooks - [my ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66476999/list/my-ideas) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/cary86) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
