Flatwater Realty Earns Verified Excellence Award From the Consumer Ratings Institute

OMAHA, NE, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Flatwater Realty - Alex J Heyen Broker, an Omaha-based real estate brokerage, has received the Verified Excellence Award in the Real Estate Agents category from the Consumer Ratings Institute. The recognition is based on overall reviews from clients, who give the brokerage an average rating of 4.7 stars, reflecting consistent satisfaction among Nebraska home buyers and sellers.

Flatwater Realty is built around one idea: one brokerage. Buying, selling, financing and closing are all handled under one roof. In-house mortgage lending through West Capital Lending and in-house title and escrow services mean clients deal with one team from the first showing to the closing table. That cuts out the handoffs, delays and miscommunication that can happen when a transaction is split across several companies.

For sellers, the brokerage offers its "Flatout Better" listing program. It combines professional media, paid placement and appraisal-focused pricing to help homes stand out and sell on solid footing. For buyers, Flatwater's agents bring deep local knowledge of markets across the state, including the Omaha metro, Lincoln, Elkhorn, Papillion and Bellevue.

Founder and Broker/Owner Alex James Heyen grew up in rural Giltner, Nebraska. He built his reputation through hands-on experience in both real estate sales and mortgage lending. That background shapes the brokerage's integrated model and its focus on guiding clients through every financial and practical step of a move. Heyen has also served in community leadership roles, including as president of the South Shore Heights HOA.

The Verified Excellence Award recognises businesses whose public consumer reviews show a strong track record of service. For Flatwater Realty, the recognition reflects the Midwestern values the company was founded on: hard work, humility and community.
