What is the primary responsibility of the Supervisory Appraiser in relation to a Trainee Appraiser?

The primary responsibility of the Supervisory Appraiser in relation to a Trainee Appraiser is to guide and evaluate their performance. This involves mentoring the trainee, providing hands-on training, and assessing the quality of their work to ensure that the trainee develops the necessary skills to become a competent appraiser. This role is instrumental in shaping the trainee's understanding of appraisal standards, ethics, and the intricacies of the appraisal process.

While providing employment is a function of the supervisory role, it does not encompass the core duties expected in the supervisory relationship. Approving reports is a part of the process, but it is secondary to the more comprehensive goal of guiding the trainee's development. Handling all communications with clients is generally not the primary focus of the Supervisory Appraiser; it is important for maintaining relationships, but the primary function remains centered on the training and professional growth of the trainee.
