They handle Estate Sales
Estate Sales. Traditional, in-home weekend salesNostalgiana is a woman-owned Texas estate sale and consignment company serving the greater Houston, TX area and surrounding communities. The business is run by Chatina McCardell and offers two complementary paths for clients: a traditional in-home estate sale, or an offsite liquidation and consignment option through Nostalgiana's own consignment store in Houston. The company markets itself as a professional team to help clients through life transitions — moves, downsizing, divorce, or the loss of a family member — with no upfront cost and a percentage-of-proceeds fee structure.
Nostalgiana describes itself as a knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate team of professionals. The team includes specialists in antiques, collectibles, art, furniture, jewelry, and everyday items, and stays current on secondary-market values for resellable goods. The company emphasizes a hands-on, full-service approach captured in its own line: they sell *anything from paperclips to cars* — essentially the entire contents of a household.
For clients who can host the sale at their property, Nostalgiana handles the full setup: organizing, cleaning (if needed), staging, and pricing every item before opening to the public. The team also offers in-town moving and complete clean-out services alongside the sale itself.
Once a client decides to hire them, the process is hands-off — Nostalgiana sets the sale date, accesses the property the week prior to stage, brings supplies, takes photos for advertising, and posts signage where HOA rules permit. Photos and advertising are distributed across multiple channels.
For clients who can't run a sale from their home — whether due to HOA restrictions, tight deadlines, or because they only want to consign select items — Nostalgiana operates its own offsite consignment store. The store is centrally located in Houston at BW & Westheimer Rd.
Nostalgiana offers several options for handling items remaining after a sale; specific paths are discussed during the initial consultation.
- Free consultation and walk-through with no upfront cost
- Fee structure: percentage based on the proceeds of the estate sale
- Setup window: access to the property typically required the week before the sale
- Advertising: photos taken on-site and distributed across multiple channels, with signage where HOA-permitted
- Accounting: approximately 72 hours to complete after a general estate sale
- Payout: the client receives a check for their share of the proceeds, accompanied by a copy of every receipt written during the sale
The company specifically calls out four common situations clients come to them with:
- Moving
- Downsizing
- Divorce
- Loss of a family member
