When should I start getting nervous? Cant find a good tenant!!

Hi everyone,

I have a property in NC that i closed on June 15th. https://www.zillow.com/homes/105D-Brookshire-lane-...

I have a property manager taking care of trying to get a renter. the problem is she is constantly getting stood up by prospective tenants, or people just don't follow up after they contact her. Ive listed it on social media and other sites. I trust she is doing her best. 

Any one have any other ideas? Is this the norm? Flaky people or am i freaking out too early? Does it normally take this long (I live in CA so I have a very skewed view of RE, ill admit that). 

I did my due diligence on this area, I've been there several times, i know the area is growing, and the schools are good (Troutman school district not Statesville). 

So what am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

It shouldn't take 10 weeks to find a tenant. Either the property is overpriced or your PM is dropping the ball somewhere.
