It seems that out of every 10 agents I try and contact for questions on their listings, only about 3 of them are answered. 6 of them I leave voice mails for (which half are returned) and usually the last one can't be contacted at all, as their voice mail is full and an email to them is rejected as well. It is any wonder why 41% of the homes listed don't sell?
After you screen and select an agent, have a neighbor or friend call them ever week at different times and see if your calls are answered or returned. Also, check to see if the agent is out of town (yes, agents do take vacations from time to time), is either a co-listing agent or is someone in the office familiar enough with your property to field questions? It only takes one showing to make a sale and if your agent is not answering those calls, then where will the buyer go next?
