Creg McDonald

Meet Creg McDonald: Your Trusted Real Estate Expert & Community Champion

Some people move to a town, but Creg planted roots.

A proud University of Illinois graduate, Creg fell in love with Champaign-Urbana—so much so that he never left. For over 30 years, he has been shaping the community through real estate development, business ventures, and a commitment to giving back.

In 2009, he founded The McDonald Group Real Estate Company, and since 2010, his team has held the title of #1 producing real estate team in Champaign-Urbana. But ask Creg what really sets him apart, and he won’t talk numbers—he’ll talk about honesty, hard work, and putting his clients first.

Beyond real estate, Creg’s heart is in the community. He has served on numerous charity boards for decades and, in recent years, has taken his talents to the stage—raising over $500,000 as a charity auctioneer!

At home, Creg is a proud dad to his daughters, Mia and Kelley, and husband to his amazing wife and business partner, Liz (who, by his own admission, might just be the best Realtor in the family!).

When he’s not negotiating deals, you’ll find him on the golf course, out on the water, cheering for the St. Louis Cardinals, or supporting University of Illinois and local high school sports.

Looking for a real estate expert who knows the market inside and out and genuinely cares about you and the community? Creg McDonald is your guy.

Breathtaking sunsets, grand-scale architecture, and a setting that offers something truly extraordinary, both in the home itself and the life you can enjoy here. Welcome to 1005 South Division. Imagine coming home after a long day, walking down to your own boathouse, complete with a kitchenette and bathroom, stepping onto your boat, and heading out for a relaxing cruise across the lake. Spending an early morning water skiing, an afternoon fishing, or simply sitting back and watching the sun disappear across the water. The experiences most people travel hours to enjoy and plan vacations around are available to you every single day. This isn't a vacation home. This is where you live. Approached by a private, winding drive, this exceptional estate brings together grand-scale architecture and the serene natural beauty of its waterfront setting.

Your own lakeside retreat, with the convenience of being right in the heart of Mahomet. What makes this property so difficult to duplicate is the combination of everything. The architecture, the size of the home, the privacy, and a waterfront setting that offers an entirely different way of living. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Rather than try to describe every remarkable detail of this estate, we're going to let the photographs and videos do the talking. Take your time. Explore the pictures, floor plans, and videos. Imagine what life could look like here. Some homes are measured by square footage, bedrooms, and amenities. Others are measured by the life you get to live there. In this home, you have both. This is it.
