Details: Douglas Hensley is President & Managing Broker of Gorsuch-Hensley Real Estate & Auction, Inc., a real estate brokerage and auction firm located in Canton, Illinois. Prior to forming Gorsuch-Hensley, Hensley was managing broker with The Loranda Group, Inc., a highly respected regional real estate brokerage and auction firm.

Hensley was raised on a cash grain and livestock farm in western Illinois. His many years in the land sales business, coupled with his farm production experience and secondary education, make him particularly quick in understanding the land sales business. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics and a Masters of Business Administration (MBA).

During his time with Loranda, Hensley personally managed the sale or purchase of more than $80 million of farm real estate, covering properties located in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. In addition to his work in real estate, Hensley also taught on topics involving agricultural finance, real estate sales, auction law, and small business dynamics. While at the University of Illinois, he helped teach a semester long undergraduate agricultural finance class, managing the work of nearly 80 students. He has also lectured in other related agricultural courses, and worked in conjunction with The Center for Farm and Rural Business Finance at the University of Illinois. In recent years, Hensley co-developed and presented at a seminar series for agricultural producers and landowners involving the dynamics of land ownership, 1031 tax-deferred exchanges, and estate planning. In addition, Hensley has written and taught multiple continuing education courses for both real estate and auction professionals in Illinois.

In providing value to Gorsuch-Hensley and its clients, Doug brings fresh skills, new ideas, and management experience to the forefront. He oversees the daily activities of the business, and the work of more than 10 real estate agents. In addition, he is a Board Member for the Canton Area Chamber of Commerce and the Little Giant Education Foundation.
