You are between a rock and a hard place! Perhaps "Thanks for asking . . . I'll let them know you were wondering about them the next time we speak! How are things with you?"

I have to admit that there are some that give referrals that are not good referrals. It's up to them to report to their friends. Confidentiality is alive and well in our office.

Same here. I tell their friends that they weren't quite ready to buy right now.

I like your answer, Paul. I've said "Thanks again for the referral. They haven't found anything that fits yet and decided to wait awhile."

Paul - I would respond in a similar manner, perhaps saying something like, they have had a change of heart, or that they are no longer interested in selling/moving at this time. There is no reason to divulge that they didn't qualify for financing, especially because of your fiduciary responsibility to your clients.

Good way to handle it really, good job! If they want their friends to know, let them tell them, not you. Money is a very personal thing for many people.
