How do we feel about ListingSpark these days?

First flip in progress, looking to save as much money as possible off agent commissions but trying to be realistic. I see a a few posts on BP saying that ListingSpark wasn't great, but this was 4-5 years ago. Biggest arguments are that the benefits from having a legitimate selling agent (legal stuff, fighting for better prices, etc) far outweigh the costs involved. I feel like many of the arguments came from people with bias (they're real estate agents themselves and want that sellers commission, that kind of thing).

I know that my house will sell, 100%. I'm in a flaming hot area. I have a really clear idea of what pricing I'm looking for. What's the hangup these days? Is there something better for someone trying to maximize returns but who doesn't necessarily have all the experience in the world like some of you do?

@Brendon K. I don't know anything about ListingSpark, but I'm a proponent of flat fee listing when 1) you know how to price--which it sounds like you do, 2) you know what to do to make the house saleable--you're good there, too, and 3) you're comfortable closing through either your atty or title company.  None of these is rocket science, and learning them if you don't know them is worth the money you'll save.

I've sold with flat fee listings in NY and MA.  You could just google "flat fee mls listing."  There should be lots of options.  The one thing I don't like just perusing ListingSpark is the $7/day charge.  I'd prefer to pay a flat $100 to $300 for a 12mo listing, it leaves your options wide open.
