ARES Mortgage Brings a Touch of Nostalgia to Homebuying with Calvin and Hobbes Inspired Program

Lehi, UT – October 26, 2023 – ARES Mortgage LLC, a rapidly growing mortgage lender based in Lehi, Utah, is shaking up the homebuying experience with a uniquely playful initiative. They're now offering a special program centered around the beloved “Calvin and Hobbes” comic strip, aiming to make the often-stressful process a little lighter and more enjoyable for prospective homeowners. ARES Mortgage, located at 324 N Kensington Dr, Lehi, UT 84043-4741, and reachable at 478-410-2919, has built a reputation for personalized service and innovative solutions. They aren't just about numbers and paperwork; they focus on building relationships and understanding their clients' dreams. “Buying a home is a huge deal,” explains Sarah Miller, VP of Marketing at ARES. “It should be exciting, but it often gets bogged down in complicated processes. We wanted to inject some fun and remind people of the simple joys in life.” And that’s where Calvin and Hobbes come in. More Than Just a Theme: A Clever Approach to Financial Literacy The partnership isn’t just slapping a cartoon character on marketing materials. ARES has cleverly integrated the themes and spirit of Bill Watterson’s iconic comic into their educational resources and client interactions. “Think about it,” says David Chen, ARES’ Head of Loan Origination. “Calvin is always exploring, questioning, and learning. That’s exactly what we want our clients to do with their finances! Hobbes is the voice of reason, the grounded perspective. We aim to be both for our clients – encouraging exploration while providing solid, reliable guidance.” The "Calvin & Hobbes Home Adventure" program features several key elements: "Snow Go" Pre-Approval Process: ARES has streamlined its pre-approval process, aiming for speed and efficiency, referencing Calvin’s epic snow forts and the relentless energy he brings to everything. “We want to get you building your dream home as quickly as possible,” says Chen. “No unnecessary delays, just a smooth, well-organized process.” “Philosophical” Financial Check-Ins: ARES loan officers will conduct regular check-ins with clients, going beyond just the numbers. They’ll discuss long-term financial goals, risk tolerance, and how homeownership fits into the client’s overall life plan. This is inspired by Calvin’s constant, probing questions about the world around him. "Transmogrifier" Loan Options: Acknowledging that everyone's financial situation is unique, ARES is offering a wide range of loan products – from FHA and VA loans to conventional and jumbo mortgages. “Just like Calvin’s Transmogrifier, we can transform your financial situation into something that makes homeownership achievable,” explains Miller. “We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.” "Hobbes’ Hints" Educational Materials: ARES is creating a series of short, easy-to-understand articles, videos, and infographics covering important homebuying topics. These materials, titled "Hobbes’ Hints," will offer practical advice and clear explanations, presented in a friendly and approachable tone. They cover topics like understanding credit scores, saving for a down payment, and navigating the closing process. "Calvin's Challenge" Down Payment Savings Program: ARES is partnering with local financial literacy organizations to offer a down payment savings program, encouraging prospective homeowners to build healthy financial habits. “We want to empower people to take control of their finances,” says Chen. “It’s not just about getting a loan; it’s about building a secure financial future.” Collectible "Calvin & Hobbes" themed closing gifts: Clients who successfully close on a home loan with ARES will receive a special collectible item featuring characters from the strip. This could include limited edition prints, mugs, or other unique items.
