Is being a long distance realtor possible?

I am a new investor from the Bronx NY, who invest in Allentown, PA. My commute from NY to Allentown averages about two hours and twenty minutes. I recently invested in direct mail marketing and received some call backs, during these call I interacted with several sellers who I built rapport with and would genuinely love to help to solve their real estate problems. If I were a realtor, I feel confident that I would have acquired at least two clients.

I have a couple of questions for the community. What are my fiduciary responsibility when acquiring properties if I were to become an agent in Pennsylvania? Should I acquire my real estate license? Is it possible to be a seller agent in Allentown, from long distance? (2 hours and 20 mins away, to be exact)
