"Robin is a rare executive who combines deep financial expertise with proven operating leadership and a demonstrated ability to dramatically reduce costs while accelerating growth. During his time with CoStar Group, he has consistently delivered outstanding operating performance across our international businesses, driving strong organic revenue growth, expanding margins, successfully integrating acquisitions and launching our products in new markets. Robin knows our business, strategy and culture exceptionally well, and is deeply respected across our leadership team.

"On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire CoStar Group team, I want to thank Chris Lown for his contributions during his tenure with CoStar Group. We appreciate his service and wish him continued success in his future endeavors."
