I have seen that the Zillow estimate is sometimes 30% different than the actually closing price of a home as listed on the county tax site.

Obviously a difficult problem. Most things we buy there is a price, you can choose another similar product and it is more or less. A home is far different. First of all far more money than most people typically buy and sell. Fair? Fair is in the eye of the beholder. After a deal is struck-contract etc, both the buyer and the seller have the same thought. The buyer-I could have gotten more. The seller-I could have paid less.
Add to that the seller and the buyer are likely amateurs.
For sale by owners. Assuming the sales commission is 7%. Both the buyer and the seller think they will BOTH save the same 7% obviously that is not possible. We bought new from the builder. I have previously looked at for sale by owner the ones I've seen are over priced. I do not claim to be an expert.
