Introduction
I have been curious how Covid has affected a certain industry: real estate. The virus definitely added a more online / virtual experience in several areas. I noticed before Covid, the real estate industry was already evolving (using drones, online tours, even true virtual experiences). This is one area you definitely need the physical side to make a decision.
