remember, agents go be bother listing and buyers agents here That's how it normally works, but the OP said "They are also not allowed to see other properties unless it is the same real estate agent listings." which seems very odd.

The odds of you having a successful open house is slim unless you can get the email list of all the local agents who have clients looking.
