How Responsive Should My Agent Be?

[Jordan B.]

I'm analyzing long term hold properties for my first deal.  I found an agent with decades of rental experience and many local properties, and I promptly left a message. 

It was five days before I received a call back.  It was over Thanksgiving week, but I was surprised that it took so long.  When they did call in the evening, I was pleasantly surprised by our conversation.  This agent seemed to be a great resource with tons of experience as an investor, and we agreed to let each other know if a good property within my criteria popped up.
It's now been two weeks since our conversation, and I just found the elusive 1-in-100 property with awesome numbers.  I left a message early this morning and haven't heard back yet [as of 8 PM].

My question is this: What service should I expect from arguably the most important member of my team?  Should I start calling for a backup agent immediately?  I suspect there's a balance between wanting a hungry/caffeinated agent and a wealthy agent who would rather spend his time on his own deals.  It's a close knit market with big players, so burning bridges is a last resort.  

Your help is appreciated.

Agree with @Matthew Teifke to give 24 hours but no more.  In the meantime, start exploring a backup.
