New York City (PRWEB) March 12, 2013

The News Funnel, a new, free website that enables real estate professionals to create a customized news funnel based on their unique preferences, has announced that more than 300 companies are now using the site’s Company News Channel service to upload their content directly to the site’s several thousand subscribers.

Since launching in the real estate industry this past spring, The News Funnel has grown to now offer its free site throughout the east coast. The News Funnel scans thousands of publications and blogs to deliver a customized news stream for its subscribers. Whats also unique about the site is that it allows companies to upload their own news to the site via their own News Channels and therefore reach industry professionals instantaneously without any editing. The 300 plus companies that have created News Channels represent a broad cross section of the industry including developers, REITS, brokers, engineers, architects, marketing firms, mortgage brokers, banks and many more. The site also curates news for every aspect of the real estate industry such as office, industrial, retail and residential.

“We are very proud to now have over 300 companies using our site to distribute their original content directly to the industry,” stated Michael Beckerman, founder and CEO of The News Funnel. “One of the primary goals of our site is to create the largest database of industry news, both from the media as well content from companies themselves. As we continue to expand nationally, we anticipate the growth of our corporate users will be increasing at an aggressive pace. Companies recognize that with The News Funnel they can reach their target audiences incredibly efficiently, without any third party editing of that content, and as often as they like without any cost. The feedback we have received from our corporate clients has been incredibly positive as a result,” Beckerman added.
