Worried estate agents aren't taking me seriously.

I'm sure estate agents have plenty of people worse than you that they dread the incoming call from.
Most of the time it'll be different estate agents handling your booking or speaking with you on the phone, yes they may have an online system where they can see your previous viewings etc but they also understand (even more so as a first time buyer) that you have to be sure that you're purchasing something worthwhile, you're overthinking it, I bet they don't even recognise your name.
An idea could be to go into the shop and have a chat with one of them, not like you need to explain yourself but let them know you've been looking for a while and due to unforeseen circumstances you had to place plans on hold but you're in a position to look again and really eager to buy with the intent of moving out ASAP. I find sometimes a face to face chat can help put things like this at ease.
Best of luck X1
