ZillowGroup-RGBZillow Group continues to gobble up real estate tech companies.

The Seattle-based online real estate juggernaut today announced that it has purchased Bridge Interactive Group, a 3-person Atlanta startup the provides listing data management tools to brokers.

Terms of the deal were not announced. Zillow has acquired 12 companies since it was founded, including the blockbuster purchase of its chief rival Trulia in 2015 for $2.5 billion.

Brokers use Bridge Interactive to make sure that listings appear accurately across a number of sites, with the online tools used to track analytics and make sure listings are in compliance with local rules and regulations. The software also speeds up the distribution of listings, a critical component in today’s fast-paced real estate market.

“Bridge Interactive has an outstanding team that has pioneered some of the industry’s most innovative solutions for helping MLSs and brokers manage their data,” said Errol Samuelson, Zillow Group chief industry development officer, in a press release. “Bridge Interactive’s offerings simplify a sometimes tedious process that many of our agent, broker and MLS partners face on a daily basis.”

Pace Davis, co-founder of Bridge Interactive, said in the release that the resources of Zillow will allow the company to grow its business faster. Bridge Interactive will remain an independent brand, and the employees will stay in Atlanta.

Here’s a full letter from the Bridge Interactive founders:
