NATALIE GUTWEIN

She was previously licensed in Indiana and again in Georgia when her husband’s job moved the family. They are real estate investors and have had rental property in Sarasota since 2007.

One of the things Natalie is most proud of is the six years she volunteered as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate or lay Guardian Ad Lidem) for the Forsyth County Georgia Juvenile Court. She appointed children who had been removed from their parents, deeply investigated each situation, and frequently appeared before the judge to make her recommendations on behalf of the children. She described it as “extremely time-consuming, sometimes heart-breaking and frequently frustrating, but one of the most rewarding experiences of her life.”  Natalie and her family absolutely love living on Siesta Key, where they frequently ride their bikes to the beach, snorkel for shells, and hang out in the Village.
