A LUMBERJACK COMMUNITY:

Born and raised in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, Liptack has lived all this life in the recreational community of Lakewood.  Lakewood is a township located in the heart of the Nicolet National Forest, that offers an abundance of lakes, streams and recreational opportunities. His residence is located across the street from the former farm (now a golf course) where his mother once lived. His grandfather, George R. Bauers was camp foreman at the historic Holt and Balcom Logging camp, the oldest logging camp in the nation still on its original site in Lakewood, Wisconsin. The Camp is visible from his home along the McCauslin Brook.  George R Bauers was a pioneer in the logging profession. He came up with the idea of "piece work" as an incentive to get more work out of the Jacks, a concept that is still used today. Liptack's great grandparents were among the first settlers in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, homesteading in an area now known as Townsend, then known as North Lakewood.

Liptack was elected as a local assessor in the town of Lakewood at the age of 21, and has been re-elected continually, now the last elected assessor in Oconto County. Although qualified in many areas, he is most qualifed to complete appraisal assignments involving rural recreational and waterfront properties.  His knowledge of properties in the Northwoods, together with a massive data base of sales, will help assure that your report is provided with both speed and adequate detail.
