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...
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...
Larry and Alice Hummer's real estate journey spans nearly four decades, and for every step of the way, Mark Thudium has been their Realtor. Discover their story.
We were understandably nervous when we first embarked on our real estate journey in 1986, selling our home in Denver and buying in Ephrata. It was our first transaction, and we turned to Alice's father, a seasoned real estate agent, to find us the best representation in Lancaster County. Even then, early in his career, Mark Thudium consistently rose to the top of the recommendations.
Mark's guidance through that sale of our home and purchase of our new home in 1986 was invaluable. His calm demeanor, consistent communication, and deliberate plan was appreciated. Mark patiently explained each step, reinforcing his strategy to help us stay the course. He seamlessly guided us through selling our Denver home and purchasing our new home in Ephrata. It w...
Ginny & John Schmidt share their experience working with Mark Thudium to sell their Manheim Township home.
After 41 years of building a life within our Manheim Township home, the decision to downsize and move to the Harrisburg area, near our son and his family, was both exciting and overwhelming. We'd always noticed Mark Thudium's ads in LNP, and we appreciated the inclusion of Bible verses. The genuine, faith-based element of his messaging resonated with us, so we decided to give him a call.
Initially, we were just exploring, researching the market, and understanding our home's value. Mark provided an incredibly detailed market analysis, which was precisely the information we were seeking. We thought we had plenty of time to list the home, but then we found a property sooner than expected, and suddenly our timeline shortened. Panic about selling our property and moving so quickly turned into a scramble, with a lot to organize in a short amount of time.
