No matter what house you buy, you should have a professional inspector do that for you prior to your offer! And no matter what she is asking, you are free to offer whatever you are willing to pay for the house. She can either accept it or not. We have made offers so low that our realtor was embarrassed to take them to the seller...and guess what...the seller accepted. So, listen to your own gut, do your homework and then do whats right for you.
