Looking for Strategic Direction on a SaaS I've Built. Scale, Partner, or Exit?

[sgorgey]

I've spent the last year building DealAnalyzerAI , an AI based SaaS for real estate investors/wholesalers/realtors, and I'm at a crossroads.

The product is fully functional, production-ready, and actively being used. The challenge is that I'm a builder and operator, not a marketer.

Current status:

• 32 active freemium users

• Organic SEO traffic is steadily increasing with no paid advertising

• Fully deployed SaaS with working onboarding, subscriptions, reports, and user management

• Multiple real estate investors actively using the platform

• Three experienced real estate professionals have independently validated the calculations, workflows, and outputs

• Complete production codebase and infrastructure included

The platform helps real estate investors analyze deals faster by automating property analysis, comps, ARV calculations, rehab estimates, and investment metrics. And help realtors with provide thier clients, MLS market backed data, house prices,

Where I'm struggling:

I can build products and solve technical problems. Marketing and customer acquisition are not my strongest skills.

I'm trying to determine the highest-leverage path forward:

1. Find a marketing-focused partner who wants to help scale it
2. Bring on someone interested in acquiring the business
3. Get feedback from founders who have successfully grown niche SaaS products
4. Explore alternative directions I may not be seeing

I'm not posting this as a formal sales listing.

I'm genuinely interested in hearing how experienced Fastlane members would evaluate an asset like this and what you'd do next if it were sitting in your portfolio today.

Happy to share traffic trends, product screenshots, architecture details, and answer questions publicly if there's interest.

What would you do?
