A lawsuit filed in early 2025 has brought serious allegations against a prominent real estate executive, claiming that personal boundaries and professional lines were crossed through financial promises and private meetings.

The case centers on Tamir Poleg, CEO of Real Brokerage, and allegations that he offered substantial money and property to a married contractor in a way that allegedly led to the collapse of her marriage.

Lawsuit Details and Core Allegations

Instagram | tamirpoleg | Real CEO Tamir Poleg is under fire for allegedly bribing a married contractor into divorce.

The complaint was filed by Michael Steckling, who alleges that Poleg repeatedly pursued his wife, Paige Steckling, while she was married and working as an independent contractor. According to the filing, Poleg is accused of offering large sums of cash, luxury real estate, and travel as part of what the lawsuit describes as an “indecent proposal.”

Court documents state that the alleged financial support began in January 2025. Paige Steckling, described in the lawsuit as a married mother of two, was allegedly promised ongoing monetary backing, along with high-value assets. The complaint claims Poleg offered more than $500,000 in cash and a home in Park City, Utah, estimated to be worth between $2 million and $3 million.

The lawsuit also details an email that Poleg allegedly sent to Paige Steckling, outlining how to access $1.5 million in two separate payments. According to the complaint, the plan included $800,000 upfront, followed by $700,000 at a later date.

In support of these claims, the filing states that Poleg sold more than $600,000 worth of Real Brokerage stock in early February 2025. The lawsuit alleges these funds were intended to support the proposed financial arrangement.

Travel and Alleged In-Person Meetings

Beyond financial claims, the lawsuit outlines several alleged in-person meetings. According to the complaint, Poleg booked a hotel room in Miami in February 2025 for himself and Paige Steckling. Additional meetings allegedly took place in Las Vegas, Park City, and California, all before the financial offers outlined in the lawsuit.

Michael Steckling claims his marriage was stable prior to these events. The filing states that neither spouse had discussed divorce before the alleged offers were made. Court records cited in the lawsuit show that Paige Steckling filed for divorce in February 2025.

Real Brokerage and Poleg Respond

Instagram | utahrealestatepaige | Paige Steckling confirmed her divorce while dismissing the lawsuit’s claims as inaccurate.

Real Brokerage strongly disputed the allegations, stating that media reports have included inaccuracies. In a statement to Fox News Digital, the company said Paige Steckling “is not, and was never, an employee of Real,” and added that Poleg “never paid Ms. Steckling any money.”

The company also said Poleg separated from his spouse in 2024 and later entered a brief relationship with an independent contractor who later filed for divorce. According to the statement, the relationship ended nearly a year ago. Real Brokerage described the lawsuit as “without merit and filled with inaccuracies.”

Poleg denied any wrongdoing and said the legal action was an attempt to take advantage of his public profile.

Responses From the Named Involved

Paige Steckling confirmed her divorce in a statement to the Daily Mail but rejected how the lawsuit presents the situation. “My marriage ended for personal reasons, and the claims made in this lawsuit do not reflect the reality of those circumstances,” she said. “I’m confident the legal process will address any inaccuracies.”

Poleg also acknowledged sending the email mentioned in the complaint but said it was being misrepresented. “No offers, no romance, no interference,” he told the outlet. He stated that any financial discussions referenced involved support Paige Steckling 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. The case remains ongoing.

Real Brokerage, headquartered in Utah, is valued at approximately $886 million. Poleg continues to serve as CEO as the lawsuit proceeds.

The lawsuit presents sharply opposing accounts from all parties involved. While the complaint outlines detailed financial figures, travel claims, and communications, both Poleg and Real Brokerage firmly deny the allegations.

As the legal process moves forward, the case will determine whether the claims hold up under judicial review or whether they will be dismissed as unfounded.
