He spent nothing on ads. Twenty days later, a Cary townhouse owner left him a voicemail asking for a comparative market analysis. He was still deciding whether to stay or go, and he called Cameron before he contacted any other agent.The caller never said how he found him. Every door he could have come through was one Cameron and his team had built with AI: pages written to be found in search and in AI answers, and a follow-up system ready to respond at any hour.
