Real Estate Agent

I started building a team to do a fix and flip strategy with a transition into BRRRR. I contacted the real estate agent whom I used to sell my MIL's house after my wife and I rehabbed it. She did a great job and the house sold within the first week of being on the market. She was upfront with me and stated that she never worked with an investor before, but she worked with an investor agent at her brokerage. She arranged a meeting between the three of us. The investor agent was impressed by my plan and knowledge (thanks to BP!) and said she would help my agent in any way she could. I thought this was going to be good. So my agent sent me 43 properties to evaluate the next day. I thought to myself, this is working out! I was able to find 6 that I was interested in, plus I have sent her 4 more my wonder scout (my wife) found by scouring zillow and redfin.

That was Tuesday, here it is Friday and I have not heard from my agent even after several emails. I am worried that she doesn't understand the urgency with which we need to strike on good deals.  I don't want to be rude and DEMAND her time as this is my first deal. Should I:

a) Go scorched earth and tell her to forget it and find another agent

b) Find another agent and work with them as well

c) Contact the investor agent and ask if she can politely nudge my agent

d) Just be patient and wait it out?
