Selling directly to Zillow - experience?

[Daniel Schiller]

Looking to sell a personal vacation beach home in Galveston, TX in need of minor repairs (paint / shower drains / typical turn stuff on the interior) as I’m moving away from the area and don’t want to take on another project that may or may not add value.

As such, I’m thinking of selling directly to Zillow to remove an extra headache. Does anyone have experience with this? I imagine there are imbedded fees that might exceed agents commissions, but I’m looking to move some personal properties quickly, and this seems like an interesting alternative to the traditional process.

Thoughts?
