Duo is 2X the support
Who are the Duo?
Spend a little time around Karen Fryling and Rebecca Johnson and it’s easy to see why they get along so well together as friends and business partners. A shared passion for the community and for serving their clients was the spark that initiated their joining forces. But, like any strong team, they each possess vastly disparate personality types. Together, their unique assets and backgrounds complement each other and ultimately benefit all of their clients.
For Karen & Rebecca, the power of partnership means that when you talk to one of them, you’ll be heard by both of them. With two sets of eyes, ears, and hands on the job, they keep surprises to a minimum, respond to your needs rapidly and accurately, and help you get through the entire process as quickly and easily as possible. For buyers, their in-depth local knowledge allows them to find the ideal neighborhood to fit their needs. For sellers, their robust marketing strategies ensure that your home will receive mass exposure to a worldwide audience in an effort to generate maximum return on your investment. You won’t have to think twice about any of it. Because they will.
Meet The Team

KAREN FRYLING
DUO CO-FOUNDER
Karen’s abundant energy is evident from the moment you meet her, expressed most obviously in her zest for volunteerism within her community. If there’s an event occurring in Ladera or surrounding areas, you can bet Karen is involved in some capacity – if she’s not running it outright. Whether serving as PTA President, President of the Ladera Recreation District Board, or annually walking 60 miles to help find a cure for cancer, Karen’s passion for volunteerism and supporting causes is contagious. In addition, through her vast business experience and graduate level education, she brings a wealth of worldwide business acumen, strategy development, and negotiating expertise to closing a sale.

She comes from a successful career in project management and communications design. While real estate transactions involve hundreds of different components, she has a knack for managing every excruciating detail and making the whole process run smoothly when such an important investment is on the line. Rebecca is also passionate about giving back to the community and can often be found donating time and energy to Toys for Tots, One Warm Coat, and other charitable endeavors. -
