Introducing Thazjay Paddyfoot: A Realtor with a Culinary Twist

Katie Lamboglia • September 30, 2024

At True North Realty, we’re proud to welcome Thazjay Paddyfoot, a passionate and dedicated professional with a unique blend of talents. Thazjay joined the Hickory community in 2021 with his family, and it didn’t take long for him to fall in love with the area’s warm atmosphere and countless amenities. Whether it's the beautiful scenery, friendly neighbors, or thriving local culture, Hickory quickly became home for Thazjay—and now, he’s committed to helping others make it their home too.

What sets Thazjay apart is not just his commitment to real estate, but his dual passion as an executive chef. Yes, you read that right! Thazjay is a rare combination of real estate expertise and culinary artistry, bringing creativity and care to everything he does. Whether he's guiding clients through the process of buying or selling a home or crafting a gourmet meal, Thazjay's approach is rooted in attention to detail, creativity, and a deep love for helping others.


A Passion for Real Estate

As a realtor, Thazjay understands that buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions in anyone's life. His goal is to make that process as seamless and stress-free as possible. He knows that a house is more than just a place to live—it's where memories are made, where families grow, and where life happens. That's why Thazjay takes the time to truly understand his clients' needs and goals. Whether it's finding the perfect first home or selling a cherished family property, he works tirelessly to ensure that every client has a positive, rewarding experience.

Thazjay’s local knowledge of the Hickory area gives him an edge in helping buyers find homes that suit their lifestyle, while his attention to market trends ensures sellers get the best value for their properties. His dedication to excellence and client-first approach makes him a trusted guide for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.


A Chef at Heart

But Thazjay’s story doesn’t end with real estate. His other passion is cooking—specifically, creating unforgettable culinary experiences. As an executive chef, Thazjay brings the same level of passion and precision to the kitchen as he does to real estate. He believes that good food has the power to bring people together, much like a home creates space for shared moments and lasting memories. For him, cooking is an art form, and he enjoys experimenting with flavors to create dishes that satisfy both the palate and the soul.

His culinary expertise adds a unique layer to his real estate work. Thazjay often draws parallels between the two, seeing both as opportunities to create, connect, and serve. Just as he helps clients find their dream home, he creates meals that bring joy and connection to those he serves. His love for flavor and creativity in the kitchen spills over into how he approaches every real estate deal—with a keen eye for detail and a dedication to getting things just right.


More Than a Realtor

At his core, Thazjay is a people person. He believes that relationships are key, whether he’s working with clients in the real estate market or cooking for friends and family. His approach to both real estate and the culinary arts is rooted in his love for helping others achieve their dreams, whether that dream is a new home or an unforgettable meal.

Thazjay’s journey is a testament to his hard work, passion, and unwavering commitment to serving his community. He brings heart, creativity, and excellence to everything he does, and we are excited to see the impact he will continue to make at True North Realty and beyond.
