1. Commit to Buying
Deciding to purchase a home is one of the biggest steps you'll take in life. Being fully committed to this decision gives you the confidence needed during your home search, making the entire experience exciting and rewarding. There will be many questions along the way, and that's why hiring an experienced real estate agent like Tami Price is crucial.

When you work with Tami Price, you can feel 100% confident that you're making informed decisions every step of the way.
2. Secure Financing
The next important step is securing your financing. Tami Price works closely with trusted lenders to help you get pre-approved for a home loan. This pre-approval gives you a clear understanding of what you can afford, which is essential before starting your home search.
Your lender will guide you through the financing options that best fit your needs, but it's also important to consider your personal budget. The lender will provide the amount you’re approved for, but only you know what you feel comfortable paying each month. Having Tami Price on your side means you'll have an experienced Realtor® helping you navigate these important financial decisions.
3. Finding Your Home
Once you're pre-approved, the exciting part begins—finding your ideal San Antonio home! With over 5 million homes available through various listings, finding the right one can seem overwhelming. This is where working with Tami Price makes all the difference.
Tami and her team will help you navigate through your options by asking essential questions, such as:
1. Where do you want to live?
2. What size home do you need?
3. Are you looking for a new home or a fixer-upper?
4. What type of amenities are important to you, such as a yard, pool, or proximity to schools?
With her in-depth knowledge of the San Antonio real estate market, Tami Price will tailor your home search to meet your specific needs and ensure you’re looking in the right places for the best results.
4. Make an Offer
When you’ve found the home you love, it’s time to make an offer. Homes in San Antonio are typically priced at fair market value, which means they don’t stay on the market long. In competitive markets, there may even be multiple offers on a single home.
With Tami Price's expertise, you’ll be guided through the offer process, ensuring that your offer is both competitive and strategic. Making the right offer is key to securing your future home without overpaying or risking the chance of losing it to another buyer.
5. Perform Due Diligence
Once your offer is accepted, the excitement grows, but this is the time for caution. Tami Price recommends performing due diligence to ensure the home is in good condition. This step includes conducting a home inspection to uncover any potential issues that may not be visible at first glance.
During the inspection, you’ll want to look for any signs of structural damage, water intrusion, or poor construction. While some issues may be minor and easy to fix, others could make or break the deal. Tami Price will guide you through this critical step, helping you understand the inspection results and advising on the best course of action if repairs are needed.
6. Closing the Deal
After the inspection is complete and any necessary repairs have been addressed, you’re ready to close! The closing process involves several pre-closing responsibilities, including:
1. Staying in control of your credit and finances
2. Keeping in touch with your agent and lender
3. Processing all paperwork
4. Conducting a final walk-through of the home
5. Ensuring your home insurance and lender have all the required documents, including certified funds, a settlement statement, and proof of insurance
Tami Price will be with you every step of the way to make sure everything is in order before signing the final paperwork.
