What is the agent doing proactively for them?   

Over the long run you will pay them MORE than you get that is why purchased warranties and insurances are HUGE money makers for those who provide them.

My worry is that the property might fall into probate or tax auction once he passes and someone who knows someone will get the deal under contract before it reaches public offering.There is a real estate agent in the area that gets about 85% of all the listings in the micro-market, so she is farming these properties constantly. 

He has an agent who is listing two of the 14.

Those real estate agents ONLY work with traditional lenders is why they say that.

"Standard" is a little overrated word in my mind, because the quality of the service these managers provide probably greatly differs.
