As a private mortgage banker with M&T Bank, Michael Vautour is passionate about helping clients achieve homeownership while developing lifelong relationships throughout the mortgage experience “I love when clients are excited about their new homes, and this energy keeps me motivated day-to-day to work harder and make the sometimes-complicated homebuying process as enjoyable as possible,” Vautour explains.

With over 15 years of experience in the industry, Vautour specializes in home and condo financing, jumbo and portfolio loans and first-time homebuyers throughout Greater Boston and in all 50 states. He switched employers in March 2023 and became the No. 1 mortgage originator at M&T Bank, helping over 200 families and issuing over $225 million in mortgages; $162 million of which was in 2024 alone.

A member of the M&T Bank Chairman’s Club in 2023-2024, Vautour has been named among the Top 1% of mortgage originators in the country by Scotsman Guide since 2020. Prior to M&T, he earned President’s Club membership at Wells Fargo — a top-performer designation at the company — for five years running from 2019-2022. Throughout his years in the industry, he’s helped over 2,600 families with their mortgages, issued over $1.4 billion in mortgage volume and still works with his first manager and mentor, Bob DeVasto. He could not achieve this level of success without the support of his dedicated operations team and assistant Ben Rabinowitz.

A South Boston resident for the past decade, Vautour enjoys spending time with his wife, Lily; two daughters. Gwen and Rosie; and Tibetan Terrier, Harvey.  A few of his passions are supporting the Pan Mass Challenge, cooking and hitting the bag at his local boxing gym, Everybody Fights.
