Technologies advanced so much in opening new opportunities to businesses even during the time of crisis. Technology is considered the backbone of ensuring the continued survival of business during uncertainties. The businesses especially real estate industries are completely relying on the emerging technologies and adopting digital measures to facilitate the transaction process with the onset of the Coronavirus.
