WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
- michele cantleyJeff Musser and David Ridley did an absolutely astounding job selling our lake home and surrounding property in Alabaster, AL in 2025. They used very creative advertising across several social media and internet sites. They used a drone to shoot aerial views of the property and the lake. They also had several videos which featured the drive to the property, the interior of the timber-frame lake house, water sports on the lake, and hiking in the woods. All of these efforts together resulted in an out of state buyer buying all 79 acres up for sale. Thank you Jeff and David for your amazing work.
- Liv JagsWe are thrilled to recommend Jeff and Chelsea Musser as your go-to realtor team if you want to sell your house quickly and for top dollar. They did so much more than place a sign in our yard, they created a strategy to build interest and curiosity in our home before it even went on the market. They hosted two open houses immediately after our listing went live and by the second day, we had multiple offers over our listing price and in a buyer’s market! We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. They made the whole process easy, turnkey and even fun. If you’re looking to sell your home soon, you can do no better than the Mussers!
- Allison DolanJeff and Chelsea Musser w/ Southern State Realty Partners have been fantastic to work with. They worked seamlessly as a team and were helpful every step of the way throughout the buying and selling process. We needed to quickly list our home in Hoover as part of our contract and they didn’t miss a step. We were able to list our home in under 10 days and had an offer within our first week. Additionally during the negotiation phase of our offer for our new home in the Blackridge Community they were invaluable in making sure that we tailored our offer to one that fit our plan and one that we believed would be well received by the sellers. If you’re looking for an experienced, honest and hardworking team to handle your real estate needs look no further than Jeff and Chelsea Musser with Southern State Realty Partners!
- joy ewingVery positive experience. Jeffrey & Chelsea Musser at Southern State Realty are very knowledgeable & provided lots of guidance to me as I sold a house in Riverchase and bought one in the Preserve in Hoover. They were very timely in providing information when needed to guide me through each step of the process and assist with the decisions I had to make. Jeffrey also went over & above to oversee some of the repairs needed before selling the house in Riverchase. I highly recommend them.to anyone looking to sell and/or buy a home
- Justin WallaceJeff & Chelsea Musser with Southern State Realty Partners made selling in Alabaster and buying in Hoover so easy. I’ll recommend them to anyone who wants to buy or sell, and I’ll use them if we move again. They are kind, personable, and helpful, and they helped to make the entire process fun and quick. Thank you, Chelsea and Jeff!
- Gil WalkerWorking with Jeff at Southern State Realty Partners was such a great experience. I found Jeff at a random open house in Bluff Park, (Hoover) and he was one of the more approachable people I’ve come across. Once we started talking about homes in the area, I immediately knew he was the guy to help us find our home. He was intentional with his questions and always ready and available to show us homes he thought would be a fit. Even when we kept striking out on some houses, he gave us the perfect amount of push and optimism that we needed to continue our search. We couldn’t be more thankful for Jeff’s patience and friendship throughout the purchasing process. From start to finish, he’s there walking with you every step of the way. We love our new home in Bluff Park and could not recommend him more.

- Robbi ThompsonWe had been looking for a house for awhile. We by chance met Jeff Musser when looking at a house and he became our Agent. It was one of the best things to happen for us. Jeff made it easy. He was available night, day, and holidays. If I had a question he had an an answer or knew where to get it. Contractually, he covered all bases to make sure every detail worked in our favor. We bought a beautiful home in Helena, AL.

Chelsea and her team are the quality professionals you want by your side to buy or sell your home!
- Brandi HuguetChelsea sold my family and I’s home to us in 2018 with pure excellence and professionalism. Then she sold our house for us this past April.

- Donald BrobstI have been looking for something very specific, and agent Jeff Musser has helped me through the process and has been very patient. He has my best needs in mind.
- Dan McDonaldThanks for outstanding service and results
- Matthew IngleSome say, "never do business with friends." Well, I imagine they do not have friends like Jeff and Chelsea Musser. Our interest in selling our home was high and we took a chance with Southern State Realty Partners. I had so many questions throughout the process and each one was answered with detailed information. Our home had a contract within the first two days of being listed and was not just a result of a 'hot' market, but of the work done by Jeff and Chelsea. My wife and I decided not to build a home as originally planned after the sell of our home. This could have been a stress induced nightmare, but Jeff took us to view a couple of homes and found one we really thought was best for our family. The offer was written up that night and accepted. We moved in to our new home in less than a month! Selling and moving is often hard on the mind and body, but I felt more at ease and joyful because I knew who was working for me. Thank you Jeff and Chelsea for all you have done. Southern State Realty Partners are a great company and great people.
- Kayla WenthAs first-time homebuyers, we could not have had a better experience with Chelsea. We really appreciated how organized she was from the very first meeting until closing. She laid out every detail and made the entire process as simple as possible! She also provided great references for other professional services along the way (which was amazing since we are from out of town!). She was always easy to reach and hit the ground running. She even came to check on everything after closing. Thank you!!

- Brian NelsonI've had the privilege to photograph and showcase Jeff, Chelsea & Jeremy's listings for several years now. They put a lot of effort in creating marketing plans specific to each listing's needs. While high quality photography is the foundation to every listing's marketing, they often add in video, drone and floorplans to maximize traction in the market place.
