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 needed. He and his assistant, Emily, were wonderfully supportive, connecting us with excellent movers, repairmen, and a junk removal service. Every person they recommended was professional, kind, and sensitive to our situation, which made the preparations so much easier and far less stressful.

When it was time to officially list our home, Mark and Emily handled everything with care. They created a timeline that gave us plenty of time to get ready, and they kept us informed at every step—from staging and photography to advertising and showings. Mark guided us through the entire process with patience and clarity. His sensitivity to our circumstances was deeply appreciated, especially allowing us to remain in our home until we were fully ready to transition to Brethren Village. This made the move feel natural and comfortable, rather than overwhelming.

Mark and Emily even came to our home to review paperwork, which was a huge relief for us since much of it was unfamiliar. That level of attentiveness showed us just how much they put their clients' needs first. Mark has a remarkable ability to tailor his approach to each unique situation, always working with a high degree of integrity.

I have recommended Mark to several people. He is an outstanding realtor, and we are truly grateful for his guidance, support, and expertise during this important chapter of our lives.
