Victoria, BC’s Home and Real Estate Appraisal Experts.

WorkSafe BC has laid out a Safety Plan to reduce the risk of exposure to Covid-19.  The following is Palmer Appraisals Ltd.’s plan

(based on Worksafe BC’s Plan) to move forward with full interior viewings of properties.

1)    Assess the Risk of the Workplace (property being appraised)

Palmer Appraisals has created a self-assessment questionnaire for homeowners/occupants to answer prior to the appraiser viewing the property.

2)    Implement measures to reduce risk

Palmer Appraisals has created a short walk through procedure which will ensure a safe distance is kept between the appraiser and occupants.

a)    Cleaning and Hygiene

Palmer Appraisals will ensure a high frequency of handwashing/sanitizing before and after viewing.

b)    Maintaining physical Distance

Palmer Appraisals and the homeowner/occupant will always maintain a 6 feet( 2 meters) distance during the viewing.

c)    Where Physical distance cannot be maintained

Palmer Appraisals and the home occupant will wear non-medical masks at all visits to homes where 6 feet (2 meters) cannot be maintained.

3)    Develop communication plans and training

Palmer Appraisals has created a timely walkthrough procedure, a questionnaire which will follow the initial phone communication with the

property owner/occupant as well as guidelines for all our appraiser to follow.

Palmer Appraisals is committed to the health and safety of our clients, our appraisers, as well as the homeowners and occupants.
