Freddie Mac's version of an Environmental Site Assessment is to be used for_________________.

• A. Multifamily properties only
• B. Commercial properties
• C. Industrial sites
• D. Single-family homes

Answer: (A)

Freddie Mac’s Environmental Site Assessment is used for multifamily properties. This version is specifically designed to support Freddie Mac’s multifamily loan underwriting, providing a standardized environmental due diligence package tailored to apartment-type assets. The process screens for recognized environmental conditions that could affect value or loan security, guiding whether further testing or remediation is needed. For single-family, commercial, or industrial properties, different guidelines and forms apply, so the Freddie Mac version isn’t used for those property types. In practice, a Phase I environmental site assessment, conducted by an environmental professional, is typically used to identify potential risks before financing.
