English translation:residual contacts with agencies
Explanation:
Are you sure it doesn't refer to buying an old business. Then it could mean something like "left-over/remaining/residual contacts with agencies". Otherwise I donno.

remaining agents' contacts OR what's left of the agents' contact


Explanation:
I don't know what agents are here, whether salespeople or whatever but it sounds to me like they are no longer but some of their information regarding contacts remains
