Jo Reader, a highly dedicated conveyancing executive in our residential conveyancing team based in Wokingham, has reached an extraordinary milestone: her 100th 5-star review on Review Solicitors. Review Solicitors brings together reviews posted by clients directly to the Review Solicitors website, and via Google and other leading platforms, and is an honest account of how clients have found working with Clifton Ingram and with highlights individual team members. This remarkable achievement reflects not only Jo’s expertise but also her unwavering commitment to her clients.
In light of this milestone, we’ve asked Jo a few questions about her role and how she approaches her work.
Making the Complex Simple
When asked what she enjoys most about her role, Jo shared, “Helping my clients to achieve their goal of selling or buying their property without putting too much of the stress on to them. I try to make the process as simple and pain-free as possible.”
This empathetic approach is at the heart of Jo’s excellent rapport with her clients. She works tirelessly to ensure they feel supported at every step.
A No-Nonsense Approach
Navigating challenging or complex transactions is where Jo shines. She describes her approach as “no-nonsense,” explaining, “I know how difficult legal jargon can be, so I explain the challenges or complexities to clients in a straightforward way and offer them solutions... We then work together to achieve the result everybody wants: to get the sale or purchase completed.”
Feedback That Matters Most
For Jo, the most meaningful feedback comes when her clients recognise her responsiveness and dedication. As she explains, “I pride myself on being approachable and on hand to answer any queries, usually within a quick timeframe. When reviews mention these attributes, it reassures me that I am doing a good job and living up to the expectations I set myself.”
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
Reflecting on her achievement of 100 5-star reviews, Jo says, “I am over the moon. I cannot quite believe that I’ve received that many 5-star reviews in such a short time. I am beyond grateful that my clients take time out of their busy lives to put in writing how happy they are with the service they have received.”
For Jo, it’s more than just a number—it’s a reflection of the care she puts in to her work.
Advice for Aspiring Conveyancers
Jo also shared some wisdom for those starting their journey in residential conveyancing: “Be as organised as you can possibly be. Update clients before they need to chase you. This builds their confidence and frees up your time. Chase matters weekly and keep clients informed to avoid unnecessary follow-ups.”
She also emphasises the importance of building strong professional relationships: “Maintain good working relationships with other conveyancers, agents, and mortgage brokers. We’re all aiming for the same thing—reaching completion!”
