Hear What Audiences Are saying...
“In the mid 90’s, while visiting the headquarters of the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors, I read aloud from their weekly bulletin: “Attorney Nancy Chillag will be the guest speaker at Friday’s marketing meeting.” An employee of the association spoke up, “You’d better go early and get a seat, she’s a big draw.” I did go early then and have done so ever since. She continues to be a driving force within the real estate community. She has a well-rounded grasp of the issues, complemented by a savvy understanding of transactions inside out which is uncommon. One only has to review her website and its phenomenal content to come to a similar conclusion. I’ve been fortunate to have her repeatedly guest on my risk-management cable programs as well as seminars. Whenever I’ve called upon her for advice, her input was spot-on which allowed me to negotiate without missing a beat. No wonder that I enthusiastically I give her book, “How to Survive a Remodel,” to my clients.
“I have attended several of your classes and I have found them to be very pragmatic and directly applicable to my business...Prevention of legal problems is definitely more cost effective than wrangling through a controversy with the clock running...You have become a clearing house of real-world problems that if people listen, can save them many thousands of dollars in legal fees...I have always found your knowledge of the law to be very accurate and reliable. Often, your prediction of the outcome is very close to the reality of the actual conclusion.
“Nancy Chillag has an innate ability to take complex issues and break them down into understandable components. As a guest on Real Estate with Bobbi Decker, Ms. Chillag discussed Construction Contracts. Her presentation was clear and concise, covering all the important aspects of this area while keeping the subject interesting and informative. She has the in-depth knowledge of her material and delivery style that captures the audience's attention.
“Nancy delivered some advice that may have sent chills up your spine, but was intended to save any business owner the agony of lawsuits for terminations, leases, record keeping, etc. Even experienced business people in our audience learned new aspects of how to legally conduct [business].
“On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire membership, I want to thank you for speaking at the dinner meeting for NARI of San Jose. Your presentation was both informative and practical, and your sense of humor made it even more enjoyable.
“I wanted to write and again thank you for bringing to our NARI group a truly enjoyable and valuable presentation. I will be making some additions to my contract as a result of your excellent insights.
“Thank you for taking your valuable time to come to speak at our Realtors’ tour meeting. As a service to our Silicon Valley Association of Realtor members, our clients and others within our real estate community, we are honored to have informative speakers, like you, who bring valuable, pertinent and educational information to our membership.
“Ms. Chillag has a gift of being able to explain sometimes complex legal issues in plain English. Her presentations are always well organized, relevant to the audience and supported by entertaining first-hand stories that lighten up the subject matter. Attendance often exceeds the available seating capacity and clients frequently inquire about the next workshop.
“Nancy’s talks are always timely, informative and dynamically presented. As the Chair of the Palo Alto Tour Committee for the past five years and responsible for about 42 speakers a year, I know we can always count on a good turn out of our membership when Nancy Chillag speaks. After hearing Nancy’s talks, I have personally referred several of my clients and associates to her practice. Nancy is extremely knowledgeable on real estate legal matters and I have found her to be responsive, direct and professional.
“You did an excellent job of presenting important estate planning information to our families. Thank you so much! Your presentation had just the right mix of warmth and professionalism! We appreciate it!
