Meet Liz McDonald: Your Trusted Guide to Finding Home

For over three decades, Liz McDonald has been helping buyers and sellers navigate the Champaign County real estate market with confidence.

Originally from Grayslake, IL, Liz made Champaign-Urbana home after earning her degree from The University of Illinois—and she’s never looked back. Since 1990, she has worked with a wide range of clients, from first-time homebuyers to U of I faculty, always bringing a deep knowledge of the market, a sharp eye for detail, and a heart for making the process smooth and stress-free.

With GRI and ABR designations, Liz has built a reputation for expert-level buyer representation—helping her clients find not just a house, but a home.

Liz is married to Creg McDonald, her husband and business partner, and together they’ve built both a family and a thriving real estate career. Their two daughters, Mia and Kelley, keep life fun and full, and as a family, they love cheering on the Illini, boating, golfing, and traveling.

Beyond real estate, Liz believes in giving back. She has been actively involved in organizations like First Presbyterian Church of Champaign, Copper Creek Church, Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club, Champaign County YMCA, and Unit 4 Schools.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or relocating to the area, Liz is ready to help you find the perfect place to call home.
