I've actually been at this for quite a while, and I've been using pretty much the same agency the entire time. However, I've moved to the suburbs and they don't have incall out here. Will an agency serve as a reference?
Call them up and ask them. I've used agency girls as references, hence it was really the agency, or it's contact person, giving the reference.
Nothing wrong with asking. I have used agencies in the past as references.

The issue is not whether or not the agency will give you a reference. Most good ones will. However, many indie ladies will not accept agency refs as agencies tend not to screen as thoroughly as indies do.
Go ahead and give it a try though, if the agency has a good rep you should be OK.
First, for the lax screening issue and many agencies not providing references (mentioned above), but also because the screening lady can't give you any insight into the gentleman. I want to talk to someone who's actually spent private time with him. If there's anything important another lady would think I should know (if he's chronically late, if he has any fetishes or dislikes, if he has bad breath or serious health issues, if he's so gorgeous I should bring my smelling salts because I might swoon, if he's built like an elephant, etc.), when I ask for her to vouch for him, that's when she can tell me.
There's no guarantee that a reference will mention any of the above, of course, but it's even less likely than an agency screener will even know about it.
