Firing a real estate agent that doesn't return an email
Well, not really "firing", because they were never hired in the first place, but here's a "hypothetically hypothetical" situation and I'd like to know what others would do.
I met face to face with an agent and we talked about a few things. I initially liked the person and thought they would be good to work with. I emailed a few days later requesting more info about something we talked about. The person replied and said they'd get back to me. A couple of weeks have gone by and I haven't heard from them.
Should I give them a pass just this once and try to recontact them? Or should I look at it as "90% of your job is maintaining relationships, so not returning an email when you said you would is a big red flag."
Note: That this wasn't the deal of the century I was calling about otherwise I would have called back immediately and every ten minutes thereafter. Also, I'm also just getting started, so I'm unlikely to be seen as a "big fish" for the agent.

@Bart Ford I think it is a red flag. Life happens to all of us but you said it has been weeks, not days. Move on....
