Am I about to make a mistake?

I’m trying to buy a home in Seattle from an owner who is also the listing agent. She seems very emotionally invested in the house which she lived in for 20 years.

She told our agent that she’s worried I’m going to ask for a lot of credits after the inspection. She asked us to do the inspection and then let her have her vendors fix any issues instead of giving credits.

This will likely mean replacing the roof and furnace.

She owns a property management company (400 properties) and could get better rates to fix things than the quotes i would get.

I really, really want this house. I’m feeling inclined to go through with it, knowing I can walk if the inspection is crazy. Also, my agent pays for inspections so no problem there.

Are there angles I’m not seeing? Am I about to get screwed?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
