A stunning accusation has surfaced against the CEO of a major real estate firm, alleging a calculated attempt to dismantle a marriage. Tamir Poleg, head of a company valued near $900 million, stands accused of offering a woman a lavish life – millions in cash and luxury properties – in exchange for leaving her husband.
The lawsuit, brought by Michael Steckling, paints a disturbing picture of relentless pursuit. He claims Poleg targeted his wife, Paige, with a series of increasingly extravagant offers, ultimately shattering their family. The alleged campaign began in early 2025, escalating from initial financial support to promises of a completely new life.
The alleged “indecent proposal” reportedly included over half a million dollars in cash and a multi-million dollar home in Park City, Utah. But the offers didn’t stop there. Emails detailed instructions for accessing a staggering $1.5 million, delivered in two substantial installments – $800,000 immediately, followed by another $700,000.
Adding another layer to the story, the lawsuit alleges Poleg liquidated over $600,000 in company stock just weeks before the alleged offers began. This sale, according to the complaint, directly funded the proposed financial support for Paige Steckling, suggesting a deliberate plan.
Before the financial offers, the lawsuit claims a pattern of meetings and escalating intimacy. Poleg allegedly booked a Miami hotel for himself and Paige, and met with her repeatedly in Las Vegas, Park City, and California, carefully cultivating a connection.
Michael Steckling insists his marriage was stable and thriving before Poleg’s intervention. He states that divorce was never a consideration until his wife was presented with these life-altering offers. Shortly after, in February 2025, Paige Steckling filed for divorce.
The company, Real Brokerage, vehemently denies the allegations, claiming inaccuracies in media reports. They state Paige Steckling was never an employee and that Poleg never directly paid her any money. They characterize the situation as a brief relationship with an independent contractor that ended nearly a year ago.
Poleg himself dismisses the accusations as an attempt to exploit his position. He acknowledges sending the email referenced in the lawsuit but insists it doesn’t support the claims being made. He maintains any financial discussion revolved around support Paige requested, not an attempt to interfere in her marriage.
Paige Steckling, while confirming her divorce, disputes the lawsuit’s portrayal of events. She asserts her marriage ended due to personal reasons and believes the legal process will reveal the inaccuracies within the complaint.
Michael Steckling is now seeking at least $5 million in damages, citing alienation of affection. The case promises to be a high-profile legal battle, potentially exposing a web of alleged deceit and the immense power dynamics at play.
