The CEO of a prominent real estate company, valued at nearly $900 million, faces serious accusations in a lawsuit. He allegedly attempted to entice a female employee away from her husband with lavish offers of money and luxury properties.

The lawsuit, brought by Michael Steckling, accuses Real Brokerage CEO Tamir Poleg of persistently trying to win over his wife, Paige Steckling, through significant financial incentives, a move that reportedly contributed to their marriage’s breakdown.

The legal complaint claims that Poleg began offering Paige Steckling, a married mother and his employee, various financial benefits starting in January 2025. These included cash, real estate, and travel opportunities. The lawsuit describes these offers as an “indecent proposal.”

Allegedly, Poleg promised Paige more than $500,000 in cash and a luxurious home in Park City, Utah, with a valuation of $2 million to $3 million. Additionally, the complaint states that he emailed her instructions to access $1.5 million in two parts: an immediate $800,000, followed by another $700,000.

The lawsuit further claims that in early February 2025, Poleg sold over $600,000 in Real Brokerage stock, allegedly to finance the enticing financial proposal.

The lawsuit also alleges Poleg booked a hotel room in Miami for himself and Paige in February 2025 and met with her on multiple occasions in Las Vegas, Park City and California prior to the alleged financial offer.

Michael Steckling alleges in the complaint that his marriage was intact prior to Poleg’s alleged actions and that neither he nor his wife had discussed divorce before the alleged offers were made. Paige Steckling filed for divorce in February 2025, according to court records cited in the lawsuit.

Real Brokerage disputed the allegations and said media reports contain inaccuracies.

In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, the company said Paige Steckling “is not, and was never, an employee of Real,” and said Poleg “never paid Ms. Steckling any money.”

The company said Poleg separated from his spouse last year and later had a brief relationship with an independent contractor who filed for divorce from her husband. 

According to the statement, the relationship ended nearly a year ago and the lawsuit brought by the contractor’s former husband is “without merit and filled with inaccuracies.” Poleg also rejected any suggestion of wrongdoing and said the lawsuit was an attempt to exploit his public standing.

Paige Steckling confirmed her divorce in a statement to the Daily Mail but disputed the lawsuit’s characterization of events.

“My marriage ended for personal reasons, and the claims made in this lawsuit do not reflect the reality of those circumstances,” she told the outlet. “I’m confident the legal process will address any inaccuracies.”

Poleg also acknowledged sending an email referenced in the lawsuit but said it did not reflect the claims made in the complaint.

“No offers, no romance, no interference,” Poleg told the outlet. He said any financial discussion cited in the lawsuit involved support Paige had requested and denied interfering in the Stecklings’ marriage.

Michael Steckling is suing Poleg for alienation of affection and is seeking at least $5 million in damages.

Real Brokerage, the Utah-based real estate firm Poleg leads, is valued at approximately $886 million.
