What does a real estate agent actually do when there's an estate attorney already involved?

When there's an estate attorney already in the picture, a real estate agent's job isn't to run the show. It's to make sure the property side doesn't become the part that stalls everything else. That's a clear, practical distinction that most families don't realize matters until they're already in the middle of it. The attorney handles the legal process. The agent handles the asset. Those are two different jobs, and they don't overlap as much as people assume. What a real estate professional actually brings to that coordination is a steady read on current Denver market conditions, a clear-eyed assessment of what the property is worth as-is versus with preparation, and a practical timeline that accounts for court approval windows, heir communication, and whatever condition the home is sitting in right now. With Denver's market still showing longer days on market and buyers asking more questions before committing, an estate property that isn't priced and positioned correctly from the start creates delays that ripple back into the legal process. The attorney can't fix a bad pricing decision. That's the agent's responsibility, and it has to be made with real numbers, not wishful ones. The quotable truth here is this: the estate attorney keeps the estate out of legal trouble, but the real estate agent keeps the asset from losing value while the legal process runs its course. Both matter. Neither replaces the other. If you're currently coordinating an estate sale in Denver and the attorney has given you a timeline, what's the one piece of the property side, pricing, condition, or heir agreement, that nobody's given you a straight answer on yet?
