Yes, the person would be weightless. The person would have to be at the center of gravity of the earth, which would probably be extremely near the geometrical center. Any difference between the two points would have to do with the homogeneous distribution of materials of similar mass. Since we know the earth has various bulges here and there, it is not impossible that the distribution of materials may be a little 'off', resulting in the center of gravity not being exactly at the geometric center.
