Lots of real estate agents began before your age. Is it possible they are looking for you to talk them into hiring you as a test of your sales ability? Is it possible you look or act younger than 29? I know, that shouldn't matter, but it might. What if you tried looking like the photos of top agents who have listings in your local paper (super-conservative clothes, neighborly hairdo, etc.)? I've heard that people like to work with agents whom they'd welcome as neighbors.

If I were in your position, I might try to talk to an agent you admire and ask him/her for frank feedback about how to strengthen your approach. Maybe s/he would be willing to give you a mock interview and then give you some tips.

(on edit) PS congratulations on getting your license.
