“tell the buyer to find a lender will get it appraised for that number…”

Smells like mortgage or appraisal fraud.

Only if an appriaser actually gives an appraisal higher than what he/she actually believes. We’re not talking about offering bribes, or asking anyone to lie. We’re talking about shopping around for someone to give a different number than the first one. Even if they won’t give you $238, if they give you $230 or $225, thats less cash that either of you have to come up with to bridge the gap.
