Expert Advice Needed… Please Help

Hello and thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to help point me in the right direction. I am very embarrassed to admit my ignorance in being a first time home buyer has allowed me to make some bad choices. Very, very long story short I connected with an agent who ended up being the dual agent of the property I put the offer in on. ( Later found out was also partners with the investor who she was selling the house for) The house appraised for $4000 less then the purchase price we had agreed upon. I offered to meet in the middle and could not get a definite answer for weeks as to what they wanted to do. My lender could not get a response back either. She finally texted me to inform they would not be willing to meet in the middle. Once I asked about what I needed to do to get my earnest money back she has stopped responding to me all together. Who can I contact to help me get this back?

If you have a financing contingency in your offer and you are not willing or able to supply that $4000 difference in the appraisal gap try contacting your lender to ask for a loan denial as if your financing contingency isn’t met with that you should get your earnest money back
