You the landlord is only responsible for providing a safe and comfortable living environment, clean water and heat to your tenant.  

Sewer, water and electric are at the street.

That usually means a full electrical upgrade at about $8K +/-.Cedar post supports. 

The realtor who showed me the place said it was because the home's been winterized and electric is off, therefore the sump pump has been off. 

They have the cleaning, finding tenant hassle, repairs, painting etc. does the $300 really matter?

The repairs consisted of some dry rot on the chimney sidings and to have the electrical panel looked at by a license electrician to determine whether it's safe since the inspection report found "charred wires".  

Clean, prime, paint two coats.  

@Angela Palchowski, another good example of something agents should be able to spot that is also something that would come up on inspections:A 60 amp electrical service and a 100 or 200 amp panel setup.
