I thought it was pretty good on the motion shots, good perspective and not too fast on the motion (maybe slow it down a tad in editing). Your stills could be improved by putting in a quick crossfade between shots (nothing to flash or gimmicky) and maybe adding a subtle Ken Burns effect (where the shot slowly pans and/or zooms) to liven it up a bit.Well, here's my first stab at it...a relocation to another state for a new position for my wife provided me the opportunity to start anew in my own career. With my experience in the RC hobby industry and a coincidental interest in "drones" (sorry for the poor terminology), we have the time for me to start from the ground up. I want to get into aerial mapping eventually, but in the meantime imagery is something I can get into sooner. Working on a web site and stocking my portfolio with images/video, but here's my first stab at real estate. My own home using, I know, a phone for the still images and a pc too weak to run anything other than Moviemaker for the editing software. A better pc, better video editing software and a better still camera are to come, but this is the what I can do with what I have today.
Comments, suggestions welcome - thanks!
EDIT: After thoughtful suggestions in following posts, I edited the video:
1) Replaced original garage image with new one taken from the outside-in to reveal the entire garage (this prompted me to erect the workbenches across the back of the garage and build and mount the dark cabinet to the right of the wood shelving - thanks for getting me motivated on this one!)
2) Removed transitions from between scenes.
3) While I was at it, I also slightly de cluttered the laundry room and took a new photo, removed the specs on the house that appeared in the title (as this would appear in the listing), cut a few seconds off the end of the Point-of-Interest clip circling around the house and shortened the duration of the still images from five seconds to four.
I'm proud of the still images - especially considering I used the camera in my phone and have little editing power with Moviemaker, but I can now see the need for a DSLR camera and probably won't proceed any farther until I have one.
Here's the revised video:

You don’t mention if you already have your FAA part 137 certification or if that is part of your biz plan. Are you aware that it is necessary to do any type of “commercial” work?
I'm not a pro, but I do some real estate work. If it's in the budget certainly get a better camera and learn the basics, if you are not already familiar.
Also, I use Adobe Lightroom which allows a one to easily correct the major problems with a photo.
No idea what your market is, but I've found that many agent don't seem to put much stock in photos, which I believe is a mistake.
Anyway, I was unable to find your photos on the internet. I took a screenshot from your video. Obviously not able to do a quick edit as if it were even you phone photo, but this may give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
