Er, why are realtors greedy because they want to make money? It's a fact of life that property values change, and taking advantage of that is not greedy. Now it sucks if we lose a track to that, but that's not their fault.

NASCAR didn't sell California Speedway because of greed. They sold it because they weren't selling tickets to the races like they used to. NASCAR dropped places like North Wilksborough and Rockingham because people stopped going there. And next on that list is Bristol.
