Mark's Blog

While there are many traditions during this time of year, one that I love to help promote and support is the United Disabilities Services (UDS) Foundation's Gift Wrap Booth at Park City Mall.

Fifty-two years ago, the fundraiser began with a small card table and a couple of volunteer wrappers. The Booth is now one of the Foundation's largest annual fundraisers. Last year 150 volunteers wrapped 3500+ gifts and raised $35,350 in 29 days.

We will be helping to wrap presents at the UDS Gift Wrap Booth on Tuesday, December 6th, and Monday, December 19th, from 12 PM – 4 PM. The funds raised through the Gift Wrap Booth benefit people with physical and age-related disabilities through various UDS programs and services.

Jason Smith has graciously shared his story about working with Mark Thudium to sell his Parent's home, which was also his childhood home.

My wife and I have known Mark for several years. We previously lived in the same neighborhood in the Conestoga Valley area. A few years ago, my friend was looking to work with a calm and easy-going Realtor, and I knew Mark would be a good match. I observed as Mark worked successfully with my friend, and I knew if I ever needed a Realtor, he'd be who I'd call.

In 2021, my parents passed away within a few days of each other and it was my responsibility to sell the home they lived in, which was also my childhood home. I called Mark right away. I wanted to sell the house quickly and as is, and Mark helped make that happen. Mark is not pushy or demanding. He listened to what I needed, and he worked towards accomplishing that.

There were many moving parts with this transition, and I was amazed at Mark's ability to make t...

Harriett and Robert have graciously shared their story about working with Mark Thudium to sell their Leola home of 52 years and move to Landis Homes.

We have known Mark for many years as he previously lived in our neighborhood in Leola, and several years ago, he was also our grandson's little league coach. We felt very comfortable asking Mark to be our Realtor. We especially were pleased to work with Mark because he was familiar with selling homes in Conestoga Valley school district. We didn't even consider working with any other Realtors, we thought Mark would be the best, and he was.

We had been planning our move to Landis Homes and were waiting for notice that housing was available for us to move in. Once a place became available, we called Mark a...

Mike and Sandy Widder share their story about working with Mark Thudium to sell their Lititz home of 44 years.  

When it came time to sell our beloved family home of 44 years, we selected to work with Mark Thudium at the recommendation of our nephew. After meeting Mark and recognizing his experience, professionalism, and kind nature, we decided then and there to work with him. We did not need or want to interview any other Realtors.  

It was a challenging time for us, as we knew we wanted to sell our home, and we were ready to move to a retirement community and had already secured a place at Cornwall Manor in Lebanon. However, our hearts were not quite prepared to let go of the house that we raised our family in.

Mary Ellen & Thomas Dickson share their story about working with Mark Thudium to prepare and sell their home in Leola.

Several years ago, a friend told me that Mark Thudium is honest, fair, and an excellent Realtor to work with to sell a home. At the time, I was familiar with Mark through our school community, but I did not need a Realtor in the immediate future.

Years later, when my husband and I were making plans for retirement and to relocate, we knew we'd need to sell our home, located in Leola's Maples neighborhood. I remembered the positive recommendation I'd received for Mark. We met with Mark in the fall of 2020 with a plan to sell in the spring of 2021. Mark was easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable about real estate. It was an easy decision to partner with him to sell our home.
