henderson land investment company was created in 1978 by Stephen and Lee Henderson. They operated out of their home on US Highway 36 near Saint Paris where Lee hand painted each real estate sign. That year they took their 6 rural listings, three children and Stephen’s field tile collection to the Champaign County Fair. Their display has grown to more than 1,000 photographs of happy buyers and sellers and has continued to travel to
the fair every year since then.
In 1982 the building at 104 South Springfield Street in Saint Paris became available and the Henderson’s purchased it. At that time interest rates were climbing to the 15% range and the real estate market was limping along. The people in Graham School District were very supportive and the Henderson’s were on their way to becoming the full service Champaign County real estate company you now know.
It wasn’t until 1989 that team henderson took the plunge and decided to open a convenient location for our clients in Urbana and from the east side of the county. Our first location was on Monument Square at the current location of Pequenos Tapas & Wine Bar. After moving to three different commercial rentals, in 2007 we chose to make major improvements to our current Urbana location at 606 Scioto Street.
In 2006 Gina Roseberry chose to become a real estate broker and has become a vital part of our management team and general office manager.
Over the years, our property management services have grown to include more than 80 rentals mostly in Champaign County.
In 2017 Joe Sampson joined our team and brought along his full service auction company.
As always, we at team henderson thank you for allowing us to be of service again and again since 1978. Locations are important in real estate, but we believe our associates are our greatest assets. Please click on the team henderson tab to learn more about our associates.
