Sounds like a brake shoe return spring issue. Not a big deal to replace- the question is how long it has been dragging like this- worst case scenario is brake shoe has damaged the drum which has to be replaced- again not a big issue- JUST EXPENSIVE. Low ball your offer to counter your expected costs.
