ROME, GA - July 15, 2026 - Homeowners searching how much cash home buyers pay in Rome rarely get a straight answer — most "we buy houses" sites promise a "fair offer" without ever explaining how the number is reached. We Are Home Buyers, a locally owned, veteran-founded home buyer based in Rome, has published a plain-language guide that explains exactly how a cash offer is calculated and, just as important, when selling to a cash buyer does and doesn't make sense.
The guide is direct about the core tradeoff: a cash home buyer pays less than a home would fetch on the open market after months of listing, showings, and repairs — and in exchange, the homeowner gets a fast, as-is sale with no agent commissions, no repair costs, and a closing date they choose. The company's guide walks through the factors that determine an offer — the home's condition, the cost of repairs needed to bring it to market, local resale values in the Rome area, and the carrying costs of owning the property during a renovation — so sellers can see how the figure is built rather than being handed a number.
According to the company, that transparency is the point. Instead of leading with a promise, the guide lays out when a cash sale is genuinely the better option — foreclosure timelines, inherited or vacant properties, costly repairs a seller can't or won't make, or a move that can't wait for a traditional listing — and when a homeowner with time and a market-ready house is likely better served by listing with an agent.
"The question every homeowner actually wants answered is 'what will you pay me, and how did you get that number?' Most companies in our business dodge it. We published a guide that answers it honestly, including the times when selling to us isn't the right move," said Grant Garab, founder of We Are Home Buyers.
The guide also covers what sellers give up in a traditional sale for comparison — the company cites that sellers commonly pay around six percent in agent commissions and fees, on top of repair and holding costs, when they list — so homeowners can weigh a cash offer against a net-of-costs listing price rather than a headline sale price.
Garab, a Marine Corps veteran, founded the company to serve homeowners across Northwest Georgia. The full guide, including a worked explanation of how an offer is calculated for a Rome-area home, is available from We Are Home Buyers.
