In this YouTube short, Tommy Dobczyk discusses the necessity of renegotiating a real‑estate deal when due‑diligence reveals long‑term zoning or annexation timelines (e.g., a two‑year wait). He emphasizes that parties should embed protections for exit options—refinancing, selling, and title transfer—into the agreement and include a strategic plan. Tommy recommends an aggressive, "Tommy style" approach that waits for concessions from the other side, ensuring the deal can be adjusted if the due‑diligence outcomes change.

Are you locking up deals in the Deal Room?
I do, but I, I have some questions to further discuss with this chat.
Oh yeah, we'll get deeper into it. But for now, you understand, like if we go through the due diligence and discover that it's gonna take 2 years to get the zoning and annexation, we gonna need to renegotiate the whole deal, right?
Yeah, definitely.
Right. So protect your exit ability to refinance, ability to sell, ability to title without Those need to be in there along with documents with strategy, right? So this is what it's pointing out that we have, right? My strategic recommendation is aggressive is Tommy style. Wait for concession.
I mean, it is called the long arm, right?
