Ira took the commercial real estate mortgage industry by storm at the age of 21, when the budding entrepreneur had a break-out year. This was followed by three years during which he consistently increased already impressive production from the year prior.
After that period, he formed Eastern Union Funding, scaling it to one of the largest national real estate brokerages servicing the commercial sector and continued to exhibit unmatched growth, establishing a track record as an innovator who has helped define the industry.
In the course of his career Mr. Zlotowitz has earned extensive accolades, including being nominated in Crain’s “Forty-Under-40”, NJBiz’s “Forty-under-40”, and honored in Real Estate Forum’s “Tomorrow’s Leaders”.
He also holds a pile of plaques that recognizes his role in the rapid growth of Meridian Capital, which is where his story begins. In addition to aforementioned accomplishments, Mr. Zlotowitz is credited with integrating mastery of the cold call into that company’s business model, training several large teams of callers and personally launching new offices nationwide. This campaign, the success of which would repeat itself at Eastern Union, accomplished unprecedented growth for the company. A year prior to his first at Meridian, the company closed $300 million in loans. Just four years later, in his final year there, they had closed over $2 billion.
In 2021, Ira left Eastern Union to start GPARENCY, shaking up the world of commercial real estate mortgage brokerage by allowing landlords and developers to work directly with banks without the need for a broker.
