Huge Congratulations to Darath Mackie on Earning Her CCIM Designation

Some milestones speak for themselves. This is one of them.

Today, we’re celebrating a significant achievement for Darath Mackie, who has officially earned her CCIM designation. And while she carries it with humility, make no mistake, this is a big deal.

The CCIM designation, short for Certified Commercial Investment Member, is one of the most respected credentials in commercial real estate, particularly in the investment side of the business. It’s not earned overnight. It requires rigorous coursework in financial analysis, market analysis, and investment strategy, along with a proven track record of experience and performance. Simply put, it demands both technical expertise and real-world execution.

That puts Darath in rare company. And it’s exactly where she belongs.

Darath brings a thoughtful, analytical approach to her work, backed by a strong understanding of the numbers behind every deal. Whether she’s advising clients, evaluating opportunities, or navigating complex transactions, she approaches each assignment with clarity, discipline, and a steady focus on results. The CCIM designation formalizes what those who have worked with her already recognize, a high level of professionalism and a deep commitment to doing things the right way.

What stands out most about this accomplishment isn’t just the designation itself, but everything it represents. The hours spent mastering the material. The deals that sharpened her perspective. The persistence required to meet a standard that few in the industry reach.

We’re proud to celebrate this moment and even more proud to have Darath representing Lee & Associates Greenville/Spartanburg. Achievements like this elevate not only the individual, but the entire team.

Congratulations, Darath. Well earned and well deserved.
