Married Real Estate Mogul Accused of Offering Millions to Aide for Divorce in Shocking Lawsuit Allegations

A married CEO of a prominent real estate company, valued at nearly $900 million, is embroiled in a lawsuit over allegations of attempting to entice a female employee away from her spouse with promises of cash and luxurious properties.

The lawsuit, initiated by Michael Steckling, accuses Tamir Poleg, CEO of Real Brokerage, of persistently seeking to win over his wife, Paige Steckling, through significant financial incentives—a series of actions that ultimately led to the dissolution of their marriage.

In the legal documents, it is claimed that Poleg began offering financial assistance to Paige, a married mother of two who worked under him, starting in January 2025. These offers allegedly included cash, real estate, and travel opportunities, and have been described in the lawsuit as an “indecent proposal.”

The complaint details that Poleg purportedly proposed over $500,000 in cash to Paige, along with a home in Park City, Utah, valued between $2 million and $3 million. Additionally, the lawsuit states that Poleg later emailed instructions to Paige on retrieving $1.5 million in two parts—$800,000 upfront and the remaining $700,000 at a future date.

According to the lawsuit, Poleg sold more than $600,000 worth of stock in Real Brokerage in early February 2025, which the complaint alleges was used to fund the proposed financial support.

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.
