Expectations of my REA

Hi all, 
I'm looking to buy a property in Atlanta and I'm based in NYC. I'm working with a REA on recommendation, however, I'm finding this person moves a little too slow compared to what I'm used to. For example, seems to not work (ie reach out to sellers agents, put in offers, etc) on weekends and takes a little bit of time in jumping on the viewings I'd like scheduled. Asked for some info on a property I wanted to make an offer on, and days later learned the property is now under contract.

Now, I come from a corporate NYC background where working on weekends is the norm, and where folks are hungry so will go above and beyond to make sure a deal is landed, delivered and closed ASAP.

Before I raise it with the agent, I just want to make sure I don't have unrealistic expectations, given southern norms may be different from NYC. Am I being unreasonable or should I find a different agent?
Thank you.

Thanks @Abel Curiel @Jonathan Greene @Lien Vuong @Evan Polaski and @Alex Olson I appreciate your perspectives. I sent them my pre-approval, connected them with my lender and signed an agreement within the first few days of being connected with them-- so there shouldn't be a doubt about my eagerness or funding, but it sounds like I need to have a conversation setting expectations with them in a tactful way--or at least better understanding their ways of working...
