When you have no experience, you don't know anyone, and you obviously don't know what you're doing... it's not going to happen.
Get real training, get real experience, then try for an agent. To do so beforehand would be to shoot yourself in the foot.

it all depends on how marketable you are as an actor/actress.
Any reputable agent (one that's worth handing your career over to) will not even look at you until you have some experience, with good reviews. So, how do you get experience without an agent? Be your own agent. Right now is the best time to break into the business because of so many independent productions. It only takes one good part to get you noticed. (look at John Heder he was only paid $1000 for his role as Napoleon Dynamite. because of THAT role he NOW has an agent and is working on major studio productions.)
If you do not know how to handle your own career, then you are a shady agents heavenly dream.
as with all things, learning how to be an agent for yourself will take time, but each time you are rejected or cast, it all adds up to personal experience. and that's how you succeed.
So, how long does it take to find an acting agent? as long as it takes for you to become your own agent. when it comes to the point that you are successfully getting called for audtions, getting cast in parts you want, and are able to negotiate what you want, that's the time when a really good agent will come into your life. They will basically take that what you started and work with that.
Hope this helps.
Acting is a business, and you are the marketable product.

What happened to the one that got you the top secret audition for the Disney channel? You posted a question about it recently. You said you did it in two weeks the last time. You need to slow down and realize that you can't just become a working actor.

It depends on the city where you live and the procedure the agents use to find good actors.

Didn't you just post in the theater section that your agent got you an audition? Don't you know the answer?

You do the acting and they will find you. They are always looking for talent to live off of.
