For me a perfect listing: first of all is a client who respects and trusts my experience. If we have understanding, the house for sale will be perfect for me. 

( even there is no such thing as perfect:)

That's easy, I've had them: Sold pre-MLS & Double-ended!

...especially all cash 10 day closes or less.

I don't get them often but I've closed a handful like this and they make up for all the tough listings.

Fred Griffin - I'd define perfect listing as one where I have great rapport with the seller! And all these things can be accomplished.

The trust between two of us is most important to consider it as a PERFECT LISTING.

I think you named them all, but you left out ease of showing. Hopefully the sellers left it staged and don't live there so it can be shown at any time.

The perfect listing is one that generates multiple transactions. It receives multiple bids. It sells for all cash above ask in 1 day to a direct buyer.

I find another property for one of the losing bidders to buy. Then I list their home too. I list a neighbor's similar property after my happy seller gives neighbor my number and begin the process again.

It doesn't need to be beautiful, it can be a total wreck, it doesn't need staging, it doesn't need interior photos it just needs to be the right place at the right time with pent up demand (pre-mareketing) and location, location, location.

all that is missing from your list is a motivated seller. imho, without that, everything else can be for naught, but I will say with correct pricing, staging and pre-list inspection, you've got that covered Fred Griffin  as I knew you would!
