Author of Loan Rescue™: How MLOs and Bankers Save Deals, Preserve Deposits, and Build Trust Through Collaboration

Vickie Bouffard is a mortgage broker, author, and founder of Loan Rescue™, a rapid-response lending platform built for the moments when a bank's guidelines say no but the client relationship is too important to lose.

With over 20 years in lending — including time as an operations manager at Chase Home Lending, where she helped turn an underperforming team into one of the top-performing units in the nation — Vickie has guided homebuyers, investors, and builders through booms, busts, and every lending cycle in between.

She built Loan Rescue™ from one belief: collaboration beats competition. Today she partners with commercial bankers, MLOs, and relationship managers across Arizona and beyond, saving deals that traditional underwriting can't — while making sure the banker stays the hero.

Loan Rescue™ Triage Workshop

How to diagnose a failing loan in real time — the Code Yellow Protocol that turns "declined" into "funded" before deposits walk out the door.

Code Yellow™ Workshop

The exact words, actions, and decisions bankers need the moment a deal starts to slip — before the client ever feels the panic.

Saving the Deal. Saving the Relationship.

How bankers protect client trust when the bank can't say yes — tone, language, and leadership in the highest-stakes moments of a lending career.

Collaboration Over Competition

Why the most successful bankers don't go it alone — and how partnering with the right outside lender keeps deposits, clients, and credibility intact.

The Winning Edge™ Reset

A performance reset for lending professionals under pressure — stop hesitating, start leading, and operate from standards instead of stress.

Every Dead Loan Deserves a Rescue

Vickie's origin story — from Chase ops manager to rescue architect — and the belief that "no" should never be the final word on a good borrower.
