Nothing you can do. Unless you and the other agent wanna split your commission and try to make up the difference. Think outside the box. Maybe say if there was repairs, you can tell the sellers they did not have to make the repairs in exchange for lowering the price to meet the appraisal.
FYI on all my contracts and listings I disclose, sellers are not responsible for meeting lenders requirements, buyers must meet lender requirements and any price difference between appraisal and executed contract.

Check the third party financing addendum for FHA/VA financing paragraph 4 for buyer protection to terminate. A new Apprisal form is available for this exact purpose to protect buyer in case value is not met. From experience the seller is not obligated to reduce the agreed sales price unless it’s in writing.
I don’t understand why the buyer don’t have enough funds to close. Buyer original financing was approved
on the original contract sales price. However; According to the third party addendum the VA loan would have to be approved to exceed appraisal value.

All the best.!
