Question

A. When the Supervisor has previously appraised the property within the prior three years
B. When the Trainee is competent to inspect the property independently
C. When the Supervisor is busy and does not have time to make an inspection
D. Never

Answer 1

A Supervisory Appraiser can permit a Trainee Appraiser to inspect a property unsupervised only when the Trainee is deemed competent to do so independently, according to industry standards.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Supervisory Appraiser may permit a Trainee Appraiser to inspect a property unsupervised when the Trainee is competent to inspect the property independently. According to industry standards, competency of the Trainee is the key factor that allows for unsupervised property inspections. While having previously appraised the property might provide the Supervisor with useful knowledge, it does not remove the need for the Trainee to be competent. It is never acceptable for the Supervisor to allow a Trainee to work unsupervised simply because the Supervisor is busy.
