Rose Tignor

Rose Tignor

Owner & Loan Officer

Rose founded Allegiant Mortgage to do what big-bank lending couldn't — give Middle Tennessee buyers a real human who picks up the phone and explains the paperwork in English. She's also a licensed Tennessee attorney, which means complex files (estates, divorces, atypical title) get a level of attention most mortgage shops can't offer.

Todd Richards

Todd Richards

Processing Manager

Todd runs the processing floor. Once you're in contract, he's the one keeping conditions cleared, appraisals ordered, title flowing, and closing dates locked in. If we close on time — and we usually do — it's because Todd doesn't let anything sit.

Lauren Buttrey

Lauren Buttrey

Loan Officer · Licensed REALTOR®

Lauren is the team's first-time-buyer whisperer. She'll walk you through every section of the application without making you feel small for asking what an "escrow" is. She closes refi files quickly too — clients regularly cite her communication as the difference-maker.

Lauren is also a licensed Tennessee REALTOR®, which means she sees the deal from both sides — borrower and buyer-agent — and can spot issues before they become problems at the closing table.

Credentials Licensed REALTOR® (TN)
