Joe Weidner shares the story of selling the home he built and lived in with his wife, Gayle, for over fifty years.

Selling the home, I designed and built myself in 1973 was not something I took lightly. My late wife, Gayle, and I spent many meaningful years there. The decision to sell was closely tied to my move to Moravian Manor. I'd been on the waiting list and was uncertain when a place that fit my needs would become available. I needed a Realtor who would understand that and allow me to move forward at my own pace.

I first became familiar with Mark Thudium by seeing his name on signs throughout my neighborhood, as he had helped several neighbors sell their homes. When Mark came out to my house, I explained my situation and that I didn't know exactly when I would be ready to list, since my move depended on availability at Moravian Manor. From the beginning, Mark was patient, respectful, and willing to listen. He never pressured me or pushed for answers, a...

Carol & Ron Mohler share their story of working with Realtor Mark Thudium and his Assistant, Emily Emerich, to sell their home and move to Brethren Village.

When Ron and I made the decision to move to Brethren Village from our home in Lititz, I approached the process with a mixture of hesitation and hope. We had sold a home once before, and it sat on the market for what felt like forever. It was stressful, draining, and by the time we received an offer, which was lower than we hoped, I accepted simply because I was ready for it to be over. So, when it came time to sell again, I knew we needed someone who could carry the burden for us.

We already knew of Mark Thudium from church, and close friends of ours had recently sold their home with him. Hearing how comfortable and supported they felt made an impression, and I hoped we might feel that same reassurance. When I first met Mark, he was prompt—and although that may seem like a small thing, it...

Roger Poorman shares his story of working with Realtor Mark Thudium and his Assistant, Emily Emerich, to sell his mother's home.

When my mother passed away, my brother and I faced the challenge of selling her home, the house my parents built in 1950 in Lebanon. My brother lives out of town, and I reside in Ephrata, so I initially assumed we could manage the sale on our own, as we felt equipped to handle the details. However, we quickly discovered that selling a home, especially one with such a rich personal history, required professional guidance.

We turned to friends at church for recommendations, and the response was immediate and unanimous: "Call Mark Thudium and Emily Emerich." Everyone spoke highly of them, describing them as positive, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, so we decided to reach out. From our first conversation, it was clear why their reputation is so strong.

Mark and Emily operate as a true team, each complementing the other's streng...

A Client Story – Marilyn and George DeLong share their experience working with Mark Thudium to sell their home of 52 years and move to Brethren Village.

When my husband and I made the decision to sell our beloved home in Warwick Township, where we had lived for 52 wonderful years, we were filled with a mix of nostalgia and apprehension about the process ahead. We had known Mark Thudium from church for years and always admired his honesty and character. After speaking with friends who had worked with him and hearing nothing but glowing feedback, it was clear he was the only person we could trust to guide us through such a significant life transition. We didn't even consider working with anyone else.

We reached out to Mark a year in advance to begin preparing. He came to our home and gave us thoughtful feedback. To our surprise, his suggestions were very manageable—his primary advice was simply to begin decluttering and letting go of items we no longer nee...

A Client Story - Pam & Dave Schwebel share their experience working with Mark Thudium to sell their home of 50 years and move to Garden Spot Village.

When we decided to downsize and move to Garden Spot Village in the spring of 2022, we started paying close attention to real estate testimonials in LNP. Mark Thudium's name kept appearing, and his testimonials—many from other seniors looking to downsize—truly resonated with us. We even clipped and saved them for reference.

Our home, which we built, had been our sanctuary for 50 years, and the thought of sorting through a lifetime of possessions, deciding what to keep and what to part with, and then navigating the stressful process of selling our beloved home while simultaneously preparing for our new chapter at Garden Spot Village felt incredibly daunting.

Three years later, when a home finally became available for us at Garden Spot, Mark was the first agent we called. From our initial meeting, we w...
