Ira Zlotowitz is a trailblazer in commercial real estate financing (CREF), focused on solving a problem nearly every property owner faces: there’s no way to truly know if you’re getting the best deal. Most move forward based on trust, familiarity, or the need to close with certainty—but Ira knew there had to be a better way. As the founder of GPARENCY, he introduced the industry's first mortgage assurance model—guaranteeing the best financing without leaving your lender or broker, all for just $4,500.
With a career spanning over 25 years, Ira has achieved unparalleled milestones:
Youngest president of any Top 10 mortgage brokerage
Crain’s “Forty Under 40” honoree while still in his 20s
Spearheaded Meridian’s growth from $300M to $2B+ in loans
Founder and driver of Eastern Union’s $5B in annual loans
Recognized as a “Ones to Watch Industry Leader” by New York Real Estate Journal (2024)
Named “Most Innovative Mortgage Broker of the Year” by RED Commercial Real Estate Awards (2025)
At just 19, Ira launched an after-school study program that now serves over 4,000 children nationwide. His commitment to philanthropy is as impactful as his professional achievements. Based in Lakewood, NJ with his family, Ira continues to lead with a bold vision for equitable access to commercial real estate financing across the United States.
