The executor or executrix is responsible for carrying out the wishes of the deceased. They are not, strictly speaking, required to consult the heirs as to the details of this unless the will explicitly specifies that they must.

The answer, therefore, is yes, she can.

If one of the heirs believes the executrix is not acting in good faith, then there are legal remedies for this; they should contact an attorney. Not taking the first offer that comes along is not necessarily a failure to act in good faith, though.
