To answer the OP (rather than moan about agents/contractors not running their lives the way we would like), why not tell the agent the truth? For example (if this is true) you could say that you will accept that contract if offered, subject to its terms being acceptable, and if you have not in the meantime accepted another offer; but much as you would like to get his contract, you will not stop looking elsewhere until you have a definite contract.
It's cheeky but understandable for him to ask you to take yourself off the market and wait for him, but you don't have to do so and you don't need to be rude in telling him so.
