Realtor who don't reply

Recently I was looking to expand my area of investing (my price range is $100-$150k in Pittsburgh and Richmond, which is on the lower end of spectrum but still has legitimate buying power). I have spoken with two realtors in Pittsburgh, one in Raleigh, and one in Northern Virginia, this one about a $300k condo. All have expressed interest and asked for my contact info to set up an MLS search for me.

None have gotten back to me.

I told them I'm ready to buy, I get to the point, they should be able to tell I'm not here to waste their time. 

So what's the deal? Is it common for realtors to not pursue a buyer for no apparent reason? What could be the reason?

@Nikolai Sazonov That sucks, and I'm sure I'm guilty of forgetting to respond to people myself at times.  I will say, part of my own problem is I get SO MANY calls, emails, texts, Facebook messages, Bigger Pockets messages, etc that it's hard to keep all the people straight sometimes.  I'd keep talking to Realtors until you find one who is excited to work with you and can mesh well with.  On your end, a quick follow up to make sure they remember to respond can be helpful.  Sometimes, things go to spam, so maybe they did set up the search, and it's getting filtered out.
