I'm beginning to question the competence of your agent. It sounds like she brought you an offer without getting any earnest money. Did the offer to purchase mention a home inspection? It doesn't matter what anyone said verbally if the contract contains language about an inspection. Forget what anyone said. What's in the purchase contract is what's important!!!!!
I'll try this one more time....
We're getting closer. You've mentioned some of the things he didn't like but you haven't said what his reasons were.
What was the inspector's reason for saying there was a problem with the roof? A new roof of the best materials is of little value if the workmanship is bad.
What exactly was his problem with the gutters? Do they not have proper fall? Did he say the downspout extensions weren't long enough? Another common problem that can lead to water damage.
Grading? ....did he say that the fill had settled around the house and it needs to be built up? Thats a common problem that can lead to major problems....including rotting of the floor joists. That could require jacking up the house and repairing rotten plates and joists. I love it when I get a call to repair damage like that. $$$$$$
I'd love to help you but you need to stop ranting about the competence of the inspector and get down to exactly whats in the report AND the inspectors reasons for those things being in the report. I've read plenty of those reports over the years. The inspectors just don't say theres a problem with the gutters. The say what the problem is, what may happen if not corrected, and how to remedy the problem. So until you tell us exactly what the report says, and the reasons you dispute the inspector's findings none of us can really help you.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
