At the office, I have a transaction coordinator to make sure the required paperwork is in order but I'm responsible for it.  Personally, it's all me.  For better, for worse.

You bet! Getting bogged in the $10 an hour stuff will consume all the time required to work ON your business as opposed to working IN your business.

I am a year into my full-time stint as a Realtor and I'm looking to get an assistant shortly. As Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 mentioned I am getting too busy to work on stuff that is better handled by someone grateful to be doing the work.

Take your income for the year and calculate the hourly rate. Now ask yourself if you should be bundling postcards?

What sets me apart, will set you apart.

My experience with teams over 14 years is worse than with individuals. Less accountability, worse responsiveness.

Too many restrictions for licensed assistants, and unlicensed assistants need to know what they can and can't do. I have never used one.
