Step onto historic St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans’ legendary Garden District, and you’ll find more than just grand architecture and Southern charm—you’ll discover a brand that’s redefining what it means to buy and sell real estate. That brand is Christian Shane, and at its heart is Christian Galvin, a fifth-generation New Orleanian whose real estate vision is rooted in one word: hospitality.

“I want people to experience a residence. From the moment they step through the door, it should bring them joy, feel like luxury, a moment to welcome you home.”

Christian Shane steps beyond the boundaries of a traditional real estate company—it’s a lifestyle hospitality brand. Anchored by two flagship venues—Lions Gate Mansion and Solari Orleans—the company’s influence extends far beyond open houses and MLS listings. Whether it’s hosting an unforgettable party for a national brand or conducting private, champagne-filled showings, every element of the business is crafted to evoke emotion and create lasting memories.

“We are curators of 'Homes of Joy',” Christian says. “We want our clients to feel the magic of New Orleans infused in everything—from staging, to scent, to the music playing when they walk through the doors.”

That sensory experience is the foundation. Every tour is conducted personally.  Homes are staged with intention. The music gets your toes tapping. Art is placed to inspire. There’s often a fragrance in the air, and when the moment feels right—maybe even a glass of champagne waiting.

And when the deal closes? Clients are presented with a luxury robe and slippers, the signature Christian Shane Properties closing gift that turns a transaction into a celebration.

Christian’s roots run deep in the Crescent City. As a fifth generation New Orleanian and a childhood shaped by summers along the Gulf Coast, his connection to the city is personal.

“Growing up, my family was all about celebration,” he laughs. “That sense of fun, of theatrics, of excitement—it’s in my blood. And now, it’s in my brand.”

It’s that cultural flair that drives the Christian Shane experience. The company hosts unforgettable events for artists, top agents, and even NIKE Jordan during the Super Bowl, turning Solari New Orleans into a “Family Only” hospitality suite fusing iconic fashion, luxury, and lifestyle in one vibrant space.

But make no mistake—beneath the glitz lies the commitment to service. Every client receives direct communication, meaningful phone calls and consistent follow-up. Every showing is private, curated, and built around the unique needs of the buyer or seller.

“We are here to facilitate the deal, advocate for the client, and forge the path to closing—all while creating a memorable journey,” Christian explains. “We navigate; and it’s the small moments, the overlooked details, that truly matter.”

That attention to detail, combined with an unrelenting work ethic, has made Christian Shane not just a go-to in luxury real estate, but a trusted resource for top producers, agents, and clients alike.

Behind the Christian Shane brand is a tight-knit team that thrives on creativity and collaboration. Their approach to team-building mirrors the hospitality they bring to clients—golf outings, Amtrak rides to Bay St. Louis, and experiences that spark innovation and strengthen bonds.

“We don’t just work together. We create together. That’s what makes the brand thrive.”

Each team member plays a vital role, from marketing to client relations, all guided by Christian Shane’s motto: “Create. Inspire. Live.”

For fellow agents and industry leaders, Christian Shane is more than a brand—it’s an opportunity. Partnering with Christian means delivering a luxury level of service.

“Image is everything,” Christian says. “People need to know who the top realtor is in the room. When you work with us, you’re closing deals and elevating your brand.”

And for agents who are curious about collaborating? His advice is simple: “Show up with style. Do good work. And always lead with hospitality.”

When asked what’s contributed most to his success, Christian credits his commitment to vision, his willingness to evolve, and a deep understanding that the journey is just as important as the destination.

“You’ve got to be open to different paths,” he says. “But always stay true to yourself.”

His favorite quote? “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.” And that’s exactly how he approaches life, real estate, and everything in between.

Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering for family and friends, searching for your dream home, or looking to impress out-of-town guests with unforgettable accommodations, Christian Shane delivers the lifestyle that is quintessential New Orleans.
