Joan pulled up to the curb and went in to investigate. “Guys, what’s going on?” she asked them. They showed Joan an invoice for the cabinets worth nearly $18,000 that had been signed by her partner. Joan was furious. This was hardly the way to start her career in real estate or to start out her partnership — and hardly the way to show her mom that she was now on the road to real estate riches
