Sandra Roumi is a seasoned journalist and a well-respected figure in the French real estate industry. Roumi brings a keen understanding of the sector and unparalleled knowledge of the specificities of the French market. After serving as the Editor-in-Chief of all platforms at Business Immo, she was appointed its Deputy President and Director of Publications in 2018. In her new role as General Manager of CoStar Group in France, she will advance the company's mission and launch CoStar and LoopNet to the French market.

"I am thrilled to continue CoStar Group's expansion in France, part of our continuing successful effort to introduce industry-leading data, analytics, insights and online marketplaces into European markets," said Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. "Sandra's unparalleled knowledge of - and respect within - the French commercial real estate industry makes her the perfect choice to lead this endeavor."

The continued expansion in France is part of the company's European growth strategy. CoStar Group already has international operations in 15 countries globally, including the United Kingdom, Spain and Germany as well as in France.

In France, CoStar Group will incorporate expertise and resources from its existing three businesses: Business Immo, a leading commercial real estate news service; BureauxLocaux, a leading commercial property online marketplace; and Grecam, a leading provider of commercial property information and market-level surveys and studies.

"With the establishment of CoStar in France, we will open a new chapter in real estate history," said Sandra Roumi, General Manager of CoStar Group in France. "This new era will be marked by transparency, quality of information, visibility of marketplaces and data at a time when the real estate industry is at a moment of profound change."
