It’s easy to do on your own if you really want to. You should look under the sink with a flashlight and find the leak. It could be a seal around the edge of the sink or around the drains or garbage disposal. If it is the faucet, go to Home Depot and find the one you want and then have the plumber install. $200 doesn’t sound terrible if you don’t want to spend a hour on your own doing it.

Did the plumber get more information than us? It’s least likely the faucet. Most likely the p trap. Especially if you have a wife that peels vegetables into the garbage disposal. It gets all clogged up and leaks out the seals. Next likely is the water supply lines. A leaky supply line usually leaks into the cabinet. Put something under it or you’ll get mold, nasty smell. Open cabinet doors run fan if it’s wet under there. Turn off supply of water if you can. If you identify the leaky part tighten it. If it needs replaced take all parts with you to rebuild at Home Depot. They’ll help you. It seems weird to walk in with your under sink plumbing, but that’s what you do or make many trips. Faucet the least likely causes is a $200 nice faucet replacement maybe 20 minutes of work. It’s all very DIY. Feel free to take a picture of the leaky area and post here. Do not let that go water leaks get expensive if not resolved.

I literally just replaced a faucet. $380 with the cost of new faucet from trusted handyman

There’s also a lot of nicks here and there (some locks missing from door, dents, scratches, stains, and some things are loose). But overall, the house’s architecture and design is so beautiful. Would it be worth it to get it and fix it up? Or find a newer house with less maintenance?
