BLAKE Garvey is used to selling houses — but the Perth real estate agent and auctioneer now has to sell himself to 24 bachelorettes as the new star of Ten’s dating reality show The Bachelor.

And if his online agent profile is anything to go by, Garvey shouldn’t have too many problems sealing the deal.

In it, he’s likened to the king of romance, Barry White.

“When you first meet Blake you’ll be struck by his height (6’5”) and his deep baritone voice (he’s been likened to Barry White),” reads the blurb on Acton Real Estate Carine Glades’ website.

“Spend some time with him and you’ll be impressed with his passion and energy and his exceptional communication skills.”

Garvey told The Sunday Times he welcomed the likeness to the seductive crooner.

“I don’t think it’s going to hurt,” he said.

“I think Barry White did quite well, from what I can see.”

Garvey, who has been single for about 18 months, said he doesn’t have an ideal woman.

“But it’s someone who’s got their heart in the right place, who’s going to have a good personality and someone who is going to be real about who they are and doesn’t hide behind anything,” he said.

“Because it’s going to be pretty obvious if they are, because we’re all going to be spending a lot of time together.”

The 31-year-old said he would heed his mother’s dating advice.

“She said two things to me before I left to go on the show: ‘Have fun and be respectful’,” he said.

Garvey has regularly flexed his pecs for Perth event and modelling company Crazy Sexy Cool,

winning their best male model award in 2013.

Agency owner Michaela Maher described Garvey as very handsome, smooth, charismatic and funny.

“He is the full package really,” she said.

The Bachelor was Ten’s highest rating Sunday program last year, with the series averaging 753,000 metro viewers.

THERE must be something about being a “butler in the buff” that makes for a good Bachelor.

Hot bod? Good at making small talk with women? Excellent at serving drinks? Yep, seems to tick all the boxes for a perfect man.

Because the original Bachelor, Tim Robards, might have more in common with the latest bloke up-for-grabs on the Channel Ten dating show than first thought.

Just days after Blake Garvey, a 31-year-old Perth real estate agent and auctioneer was announced as the new star of the show, photos of him as a topless waiter have emerged online.

Pictures of Robards as a “topless entertainer” in various dress up costumes at hen’s parties and events also surfaced shortly after he was revealed as the eligible gentleman.
The latest Bachelor, Blake Garvey.

A shirtless photo of Garvey serving a tray of food to an unknown woman was posted to the official The Bachelor Australia Facebook page by a fan alongside the words “They love the topless waiters!”.

The photo is no longer on the page.

Garvey also worked at Perth event and modelling company Crazy Sexy Cool in the past and was so well liked he was awarded best male model there in 2013.
