Elvyn Freay
“I’ve been with FDE for 20 years and have been afforded the opportunity to change my life and my family throughout my tenure here. With one of the best, if not the best compensation plans based on performance, FDE puts their team members in a position to earn and grow both personally and professionally.  I'm also blessed enough to have helped a few team members along on their best-self journey.  If you are in the furniture industry, FDE is the place to be!”
Elvyn Freay President Assistant Selling Manager – Secaucus, NJ
Theodoros Kosteas
“FDE has provided me with the tools and knowledge to sell the Ashley Furniture utilizing my people skills to all different demographics. FDE does not let you forget your goals and accomplishments, especially with the rewards, bonuses and time off offered aside from commission pay. The company is always keeping us incentivized so we can be our best self and provide a great product and service. My role is not only to sell Furniture, as I've made numerous relationships with guests of different backgrounds to where I've been invited to homes and gatherings and I've had them as return clients along with referrals from their friends and family. Bottom line, once you develop your book of business, stay true and humble to yourself and the Company, the sky's the limit! I'm very grateful for the opportunity to represent FDE and the Ashley product for almost 9 years!”
