Drama-Free Financing - Getting and managing a mortgage can be high pressure. FrontDoor.com has action steps and stress-reducing strategies to keep financing in focus. Plus, learn from other's mistakes with stories from insiders:

• "I lost my job and can't pay the mortgage." Even before the severance check comes in, look into refinancing or work with your lender to negotiate new terms.
• "My co-borrower has issues." Couples usually don't compare FICO scores before they say "I do." Know your options if your partner is less than loan-worthy.
• "I was pre-approved, but now I'm not approved." "Pre-approval" does not equal "guarantee." The lender needs to verify all documentation before approving a loan.

Drama-Free Selling - These days selling a home can seem as daunting a task as building one. However, selling can be stress-free with advice from those who've been there, the top 10 ways to sell, and expert tips for keeping calm. FrontDoor.com teaches you not to freak out when:

• "The home inspection reveals necessary repairs." Your home may look great to you, but an expert might see things differently. Review the report and renegotiate contract terms if needed.
• "The home appraisal comes in lower than expected." You've already dropped your price, and the appraiser says it's not even worth that! It's not personal: shake it off and get real.
• "The buyer's loan falls through." With today's stricter standards, securing a mortgage is tougher for buyers. If your buyer bails, get back on the market.

Drama-Free Buying - Buying a first home or a fifth home is a life-changing experience. But don't let anxiety drag you down; follow FrontDoor.com's tips to avoid a meltdown and learn common buyer mistakes before you make them. Plus, heed the top 10 ways to make home buying a cinch, which include getting the timing right and managing your mindset.
