Turn Renters into Million-dollar Referrals with Andre Gutierrez

Most agents avoid renters like the plague—but Andre built a thriving business by leaning into this overlooked niche. In this episode of Uncommon Real Estate, Chris sits down with Northern Virginia native Andre Gutierrez to break down how he turned low-commission rental leads into lifelong clients, consistent referrals, and long-term wealth. 

Andre shares the exact questions, scripts, and mindset that helped him go from $3K/month in rentals to a business fueled by service, loyalty, and hundreds of closed deals. 

What You’ll Learn:

• Why most agents miss the opportunity in rental leads—and how Andre saw gold
• The “qualify and convert” script that turns renters into buyers
• How helping someone rent led to $1M+ in referrals (and a 10-year relationship)
• What to say when a rental client says, “I’m not ready to buy”
• How client events and community-building fuel his referral machine
• Why pushing clients to make the right decision earns trust, not resistance
• The personal touch that keeps Andre top of mind—YEARS after the deal closes
