WOW! That's probably none of our biz and I'd be surprised if we got an answer but I've often wondered that myself. But even more I really wonder why he bought it Todd & Devona / Garrigus Real Estate Group Very bold and great Q.

Additionally, being a private company buying a company from a publicly traded company I'm not sure it would really have to be disclosed since Kinny is not beholding to the SEC. 

Personally, I don't think Zillow really wanted it after purchasing Trulia. I think AR is to targeted towards RE Professionals who want a more specialized niche and not necessarily an open platform niche like Trulia was.
