Exports for listings, websites, brand films and 9:16 reelsThe most-quoted drone figure, that aerial photos sell homes 68% faster, started as a photo caption in a 2016 blog post. What the FAA and other national registries actually publish is in our drone video statistics.
In a listing video the aerials have one job: show what the ground camera can’t. The lot and its boundaries, the distance to the water or the fairway, the roofline, the street and the neighborhood. A typical cut opens on the approach, moves inside for the walkthrough tour, then returns to the air for the closing reveal, with key features called out on screen and the property’s colors kept true.
Agents with their own drone footage can send it alongside the phone or camera walkthrough. Brokerages and real estate photographers can send several properties at once and get each one cut to the same template, with exports sized for the MLS, the listing page and 9:16 reels for Instagram and TikTok.
Shooting in South Florida? Mark films listings and agent content on site in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin counties. Commercial drone flights need an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, so when you work with one, Mark briefs them on the aerials the edit needs.

By industry: tourism video production and car commercials and brand films.
Upload the original clips from the drone’s card rather than exports from a phone app, so full resolution and the color profile survive. Add the ground footage, the address or project details, and the shots that matter most: the pool, the frontage, the view.
The quote lists each film, its length and its exports, and it is fixed before editing starts. A listing tour plus two reels is priced as one set, never by the hour, and several properties can be quoted together.
The first cut arrives graded out of the flat profile, stabilized wherever wind or vibration shows, and sequenced from approach to reveal, with music and any on-screen details in place.
Drone feedback is usually about what is shown: hold longer on the dock, lose the neighbor’s roof, add the square footage. Mark each note at its timestamp in the review tool; all 3 rounds turn around in 24–72 hours.
Final files come back in 16:9 for the listing page, website and YouTube and 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, at the resolution the footage supports.
The samples cover the Mulligans golf club film in the hero, Hunter Morrow’s hotel, the Landserv Inc and Wayne Construction sites, Fryers Transport and a Dump Masters land-clearing job. Different subjects, the same raw problems: flat footage, wind and a reveal that has to land on the beat. If you build for a living and want a crew to film the job as well, see the best construction video production companies.
Propeller jello, a drifting horizon, exposure that jumps when the drone turns toward the sun: these are corrected or cut around before grading, so the final reveal looks deliberate rather than rescued. Heavy motion blur baked into the source can’t be undone, and you hear that before the first cut, not after.
You work with Mark Santos directly. He has been making videos since 2011 and grew his own YouTube channel past 200K subscribers, and in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin counties he also films the ground walkthrough and agent content, so the aerials and the tour are planned as one edit.
“I have been working with Mark for probably about four or five months and it has completely changed the way that we do business. It is so much easier to know I have somebody on my team that has excellent quality for vision and videography and photography and all the awesome things that he does.”

Yes. The aerials are cut together with the ground walkthrough into one listing tour: an approach and reveal, the interior, then the lot, the neighborhood and the view from above. Property colors are kept accurate, key features are called out on screen, and the tour comes with 9:16 reels for social.
Usually, yes. Warp stabilization and rolling-shutter correction smooth out propeller vibration, wind drift and the wobble known as jello. Most aerial clips can be made fluid and usable; heavy motion blur recorded in the source sets a limit, and you are told which shots are affected before the first cut.
A technical pass first normalizes exposure and white balance across every flight, so clips shot minutes apart in changing light match. Then the look is set by the subject: natural and true for listings, richer for hospitality and lifestyle, cinematic for brand films. Ground cameras in the same project are matched to the aerials.
Yes, on most projects. Timelines are synced and color is matched across sensors, so a cut from the drone to a mirrorless camera, an action camera or a phone feels planned rather than jarring. Label each source in the folder and note which camera recorded the walkthrough audio.
In South Florida, yes: Mark films listings, agent content and businesses on site in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin counties. Commercial drone flights require an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot; if you work with one, Mark briefs them on the aerials the edit needs. Footage from anywhere else is edited from a cloud link.
Transitions, speed ramps and reveals are cut to land on the beat, whether the track is a licensed one chosen for the edit or one you supply. Aerials suit a build-and-drop structure: wide establishing shots are held long enough to read, and motion changes carry the energy instead of rapid cutting.
Listing tours, short brand reels and single-location aerials turn around in the standard 5–7 business days once the footage and brief are in. Rush delivery is available. When several properties arrive together, the quote gives each film its own delivery date.

Not a fit if you need the drone flown and have no pilot. Commercial flights need an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, so book one near the property and Mark edits what they capture.
