About Michael Sean

For two decades, Michael Sean Bates has represented buyers and sellers of distinguished Westside properties — from architectural Palisades estates to gated Bel-Air compounds. His practice is built on discretion, deep relationships, and a marketing program engineered for global reach. Beyond residential brokerage, Michael is also the commercial owner of numerous mixed-use and historical commercial properties throughout Los Angeles, operating under the portfolio name Bates Estates.
