This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a post relationship set up between two custom post types. On the single post page for one of the custom post types, I would like to display a list of all the related posts.
Solution: Use Query Filters in this View to display only those posts that are related to the current post being displayed.

Hello, in this case you need to add a Post Relationship Query Filter to your View. You can configure the filter so that only those posts related to the current Town being displayed. If you cannot see the Query Filter panel in your View editor screen (legacy Views editor), you can turn it on by scrolling up to the top and clicking "Screen Options". You can enable the Query Filter panel there. Once the panel is visible, add a new Post Relationship filter and select your Town and Agents post relationship. Choose the option "as related items of"..."The post where this view is shown" - see the attachment here. This configuration will filter out all the Agents that are unrelated to the current Town post in the M2M relationship you select in the filter configurations.
If you're using the Block Editor to create this View, you can find the Query Filter section inside the Content Selection configuration panel when you select the top-level View block.
Let me know if you have questions about this.
Thank you! I am using the blocks editor and thanks to your help, I was able to figure out how to set it to function the way I wanted it to.
Great!
If I limited it to show only 1 real estate agent in the view, but there are multiple real estate agents with a relationship to the town, is there a way to set it to randomly feature a different agent each time the page is loaded? As an alternative option, is there a way to make it show all related agents, but have them appear in a different order in the view each time?
Yes, either of these random ordering setups is achievable in the Block Editor. If you only want to show one random related agent, you can leave the 1 result limit applied, then adjust the Ordering Settings for the top-level View block to be "Random order". See the attachment here. You must have the top-level View block selected to modify this Order Setting. Use the Block Navigation menu at the top of the screen (the icon looks like 3 stair-steps) to select the top-level View block, or hover over block toolbar above each block. The parent block icon will appear above the toolbar, and you can click it to navigate up the block hierarchy one level at a time.
If you want to show all the related Agents, but order them randomly each time the page is loaded, you would follow the same process to change the Ordering Setting to "random order", but then you would also remove the 1 result limit you applied earlier. This would display all related Agents in random order each time the page loads.
