Q: is it legally possible to be real estate agent, home inspector, and notary at the same time in new york?
I want to be all three of these things, and its been brought to my attention that there are ethical concerns and could possible lead to conflict of interest, but am planning on keep these three things separate and providing for other people's transactions.
A: There is no legal prohibition against being a real estate agent, home inspector and notary that I am aware of in New York State. However, there may be ethical/legal considerations that would prohibit an individual from acting in all three roles simultaneously at the same time or in the same transaction.

A: I need that you require a license for each occupation. Look up the licensing requirements.
