What can I honestly expect from my realtor?

What can I honestly expect from my realtor?

We've been on the market 2.5 months with plenty of visitors and no offers. Every time a visiting agent fills out one of those electronic feedback forms, they always say their client loved the house but nobody ever comes back. A lot of the feedback forms say that the people are just starting their house search and we are one of the first homes they visited.

It would seem to me our realtor should be actively following up with these agents to see how their searches are going and encouraging them to come back, and reporting back to us on what he's trying. Instead it seems like all he's doing is sending the initial feedback form request and then not doing anything with them again.

He's done a lot to list the house on multiple sites so it's at least getting some visitors, but I don't feel like it's enough when he stands to make multiple tens of thousands off this sale. Am I expecting too much?

Sorry so long - TIA.

ETA: We live OOS if it matters...

Do you know for certain that your realtor is NOT following up? Your realtor could be checking up on every potential buyer but obviously they cannot make an interested party buy your house. If you have some reservations about your realtor I would confront him but also think about what your expectations are against what is realistically deliverable.
