Why can't I get an agent to return my calls?

I'm having a difficult time finding an agent in my area  who seems to want to work with me. I live in Napa County but can't afford anything here, so I'm looking at an adjacent county which has more affordable prices (Lake County). 

I'm 0 for 2 now and both of the agents I reached out to were recommended to me personally. Perhaps I tried too hard, as I put together what I considered was a thoughtful introductory e-mail along with a photo of my family and stated that I was looking to make my first investment purchased of real estate and was looking for an agent with experience that could get me a local MLS listing of properties with my criteria so I could start to learn the market. I believe I told both that I'm not necessarily itching to jump in any second, but if the right deal presents itself, I could move rather quickly. I also asked for recommendations for investment lenders and property managers.

Both returned initial e-mails/phone calls but have since ghosted me. 

Is there some sort of etiquette anyone thinks I may be missing?
