Declaration of Independance

The unanimous Declaration of Randy Mulder, Realtor.
When in the Course of a Real Estate career, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the professional bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Realtors are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the pursuit of property listings.
That to secure these rights, Real Estate Brokerages are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the Ontario Real Estate Association, that whenever any Real Estate Team or Alliance becomes non-conducive of these ends, it is the right of the Realtor to alter or resign from it, and to institute a new Team or Alliance, or even, henceforth, to stand alone, laying his foundation on such principles and organizing his powers in such form, as to him shall seem most likely to effect his safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Real Estate Teams long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that Realtors are more disposed to endure, while conditions are endureable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of inequity and limitations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute boundaries, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such membership on a Real Estate Team, and to provide new dreams for their future security.
I, therefore, the Realtor known as Randy Mulder, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by Authority of the good People of RE/MAX, solemnly publish and declare, that I am, and of right ought to be a free and independent Realtor; that I am absolved from all allegiance to the Hendriks Real Estate Team, and that all professional connection between me and the Hendriks Team, is and ought to be totally dissolved, excepting the bond of friendship, which shall endure; and that as a free and independent Realtor, I have full power to list property for sale, conclude transactions, contract both buyers and sellers, establish agency agreements, and to do all other acts and things which independent Realtors may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, I mutually pledge to God my life, my fortune and my sacred honor.
