Following the Covid-19 outbreak various business operators especially related to the real estate have introduced innovative digital applications to continue business activities.
Real-estate firms, for example, are now showing properties to customers through virtual tours, while all transactions are being carried out electronically.
Due to social distancing measures, global production has declined drastically, with many sectors taking steps to adapt to "the new normal."
The real-estate industry has responded to the crisis by conducting sales and rentals through virtual tours.

The chairman said, "We have adapted to new conditions by developing innovative solutions for those who want to buy property in Turkey. Tele Property lets us provide customers with all property details, such as title deed information, floorplans, prices, availability, and licensing. Customers can also take online viewing tours to examine properties in detail."
"We negotiate," he added, "with the seller on behalf of the buyer to determine price and conditions. We then deliver the final contract and all necessary documents to the customer, both online and by mail."
"Through Tele Property, we have sold 12 homes (in Istanbul, Antalya, and Alanya) to German, Swedish, and British citizens within the last month alone." Tekçe added.
Locals bought 30,000 properties by online title transfer system.
"Last year, 45,000 properties were sold to foreigners in Turkey, which is known for its touristic attractions and its unique investment opportunities," said Tekçe, who also serves as vice-president of Turkey's Real Estate International Promotion Association (GIGDER).
He added: "Real-estate companies have broken new ground in the use of technology in Turkey, which ranks among the top three countries preferred by foreign property buyers."
