This is not true. I have sold 3 properties on Zillow. I had them respond by email, and I had a sign in the front yard with my number and a flyer. Most who use Zillow drive by first and then get a flyer and serious buyers call you direct. I've sold the properties all in less than a month. Others disagree, but I used an appraisal and discounted 2-3% if they had no realtor. The appraisal cost between $350 and $450 and give immediate credibility to the price. Selling a property on your own is not very hard these days if you have an financial background and have an excellent handout that walks a buyer through the process with their lender. Lender's don't mind because they know the customer has more room for LTV.
