Lol, you're asking CP about it during the negotiation?
Should have discussed commissions etc with the agent before getting to this point, had an understanding of what she is set to likely make, who pays her, and if she considers cutting commissions to bridge the gap when negotiations get close.
Also, to counter your point about only working with her for a week. Would you have been prepared to pay her more than her usual commission if your search went on for a couple of months?
Also, it depends where you're at in pricing vs market value. Has she already got it down to a great price, and you're just wanting 4K more off "cause you want it"? or is it 4K over what should be a good market price?
Either way, this is a discussion you should be having with her, not CP.
Sounds like she's found you a place you like and got you within 4K of getting it. So far, seems she has done her job, but can't say without knowing all that details.
