He subdues big dogs, provides vigilant oversight and he has even put up a sign or two, some video stuff, entertains while I take care of business with adults and fetches the umbrella when the clouds open.

It is hard to answer your question.  We know that high producing agents have to have support - but if that comes from the brokerage, a co-representing agent, a licensed or unlicensed assistant, or a "team," the answer varies as much as there are varied personalities and work styles.

No idea but there seem to be more husband and wife teams now and fewer conventional type teams. I don't have an assistant but will outsource certain things when needed.

I have a business partner and a lic assistant (currently on maternity leave so I'm the paperwork  person at the moment).

In our office I would estimate that about 60 to 65% of the agents either have a team or are on a team.
