Zillow Group To Buy Follow Up Boss For Initial $400 Mln

(RTTNews) - Zillow Group, Inc. (Z, ZG), an online real estate platform, said on Wednesday that it has inked a deal to acquire Follow Up Boss, a customer relationship management or CRM system for real estate professionals, for an initial cash consideration of $400 million and up to $100 million in earn-out payments.

Zillow said that the acquisition will further support its teams and agents to boost productivity and their businesses.
