I have two large Agave in my backyard, both starting to flower. Is it true they'll die after they flower? If so, how long does it take?

I'm surprised it lasted this long with your brown thumb. Rolling Eyes
Not all of them die after flowering out. Post a picture and I'll tell you if it's a goner.

It's going to take the rest of this year plus or minus a few months. You've got a while. Most of them produce a string of babies or seed pods from which you can repropogate the mother plant. Send me a photo and I'll help you out at a reasonable rate.
