The asking price is 87,900 the home has been on the market for 120 days.
I havent made an offer yet, I would like there to be a fence built, but I dont really want the hassle of finding a contractor, getting permits ect because I am new to the state
 
Make your offer and make a fence part of the deal. The escrow willnot close unless all the terms of the deal have been met.
 
You simply make an offer that requires the seller to build a fence. Offers can include virtually anything. I'd caution against this because the seller will probably reject your offer or have the cheapest fence known to man built (unless you include all the specifications in your offer) and you will be obligated to purchase the house anyway. It's not that big of a deal to find someone to build a fence. Just look in the phone book. Any decent contractor will take care of all the permits, contact the electric company, check local regulations, etc.
 
Make it part of the offer.

But be aware they may throw up some cheapo crap fence just to abide by the letter of the contract and leave you stuck with a sub-standard eyesore that you are obligated to accept.
