# The fireplace as a focal point in the listing video

A fireplace often becomes the visual anchor of a living room, and buyers searching in colder regions may filter for one before anything else. In photos it can be hard to place: a tight hearth shot loses the room, while a wide room shot can make the fireplace a small dark rectangle. Choose one frame that shows the fireplace as the focus of the room and one detail of the mantel or surround, and ListingVideosAI places them in the property story with the living spaces around them.

The fireplace appears as photographed: a fire is not added, and the surround is not changed in the frame.

## How to feature the fireplace in the video

1. **Find the fireplace frames** Keep the living room view where the fireplace sits at the center or on a strong diagonal, plus one closer frame of the mantel, stone or tile. If there are fireplaces in several rooms, pick the most striking one.
2. **Create the listing and upload** Start a listing and add the fireplace frames among the living spaces, the kitchen, the bedrooms and the exterior. One video uses up to 20 photos for the property.
3. **Confirm the listing, then review** Choose one video or spend a plan credit, confirm when the photos are right, and review the finished video 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing.

## Fireplace frames that make the room feel warm

A fireplace works in a sequence when it anchors a room instead of standing alone. These choices help.

- **The room built around it**: The best fireplace frame is usually a living room view where seating faces the hearth. It shows why the fireplace matters: it organizes the room.
- **The mantel and surround**: Stacked stone, original tile or a carved mantel says a lot about the character of the home. One close frame is enough.
- **A fireplace in another room**: A fireplace in a primary bedroom, a den or a kitchen hearth is unusual and worth a frame of its own, chosen alongside that room's photos.
- **Outdoor fire features**: A fire pit or outdoor fireplace belongs with the patio frames rather than the interior ones, so a buyer sees it as part of the outdoor living space.
- **Lit or unlit, honestly**: A lit fire in a photo suggests the fireplace works. Use lit frames only for a working fireplace, and follow your MLS rules if a fire was added after the shoot.
- **Skip the dark close up**: A frame of a cold, dark firebox with no room around it adds little. Choose the wider frame instead.

## What buyers ask about fireplaces

- **Fuel type matters**: Wood burning, gas, electric and pellet fireplaces differ in upkeep and cost, and buyers commonly ask which kind they are looking at.
- **Working or decorative**: Some older fireplaces are decorative only or have been sealed, which should be disclosed rather than implied by the photos.
- **Inspections cover the chimney**: Chimney and flue condition are often part of a buyer's inspection, and a recent sweep or inspection report is useful to have ready.
- **Character in older homes**: In historic houses an original mantel or tile surround is often one of the details buyers remember most.
- **Part of the living space**: ListingVideosAI brings the photos into a considered sequence with restrained motion, so the fireplace sits in the room it anchors in the property story.
- **You choose the frames**: You decide which fireplace photos appear. One video covers one property with up to 20 photos.

## Fireplace photo choices for the video

| Fireplace photo | What a buyer learns | Use it in the video? |
|---|---|---|
| Living room with seating facing the hearth | The fireplace as the room's focus | Yes, as the main frame |
| Mantel or surround detail | Materials and character | Yes, one detail |
| Fireplace in a bedroom or den | A rarer feature | Yes, with that room |
| Outdoor fire pit | Outdoor living | Yes, with the patio frames |
| Dark firebox close up | Little on its own | Leave it out |

## What is a fireplace feature in a listing video?

A fireplace feature in a listing video is one or two photos that show the hearth as the focus of its room: a wide view with the seating around it and a closer look at the mantel or surround. With ListingVideosAI you choose those photos from your listing set, and they sit with the living spaces in one finished video for your review.

## Fireplace questions for listing videos

### Should the fireplace photo show a lit fire?

Only if the fireplace works and the fire was lit during the shoot. If a fire was added to the photo afterwards, follow your MLS disclosure rules, and never imply a decorative fireplace is usable.

### The home has three fireplaces. Do they all go in?

Pick the most striking one for the living area and include another only if it is in a room you are already showing. The property shares 20 photos.

### Should the fireplace get its own photo in the video?

Only if it is a real feature, such as a stone surround or a double-sided hearth. Otherwise the wide living room frame that already shows it is enough, and the fireplace reads as part of the house rather than a separate feature.

### Is a gas fireplace worth featuring the same way?

Yes. Buyers often like gas for convenience, so a clear frame of the room with the fireplace still helps. Note the fuel type in the remarks.

### Can the video add a warm glow to the fireplace?

No. The video uses the photographs as taken and should not misrepresent the property. What you send is what appears.

### Do I need to record the fire burning?

No. The video is made from still photographs only, and video clips are not accepted. No filming trip is needed.
