Liquidators overseeing the collapse of Australian property buyers’ agency Dashdot expect to recover approximately AUD 70,000 from an outstanding loan involving co-founders Glenn “Goose” McGrath and Gabi Billing. The expected recovery represents one of the few identifiable assets available to hundreds of customers, employees, investors, and other parties claiming millions from the failed company. A newly reported liquidator’s assessment indicates that creditor returns are likely to be severely limited.


Founder Loan Identified as Recoverable Asset

The report, prepared by liquidator Rebecca Gill of Teneo, identifies a director-related loan of roughly AUD 70,000 that is expected to be collected from McGrath and Billing. Capital Brief reported the balance as AUD 69,925.23, while SmartCompany cited AUD 69,295.23, creating a small discrepancy between the two accounts. Despite the difference, both publications indicate that the liquidator expects the amount to be recovered.

The founder loan is particularly significant because Dashdot appears to have few other assets capable of generating meaningful proceeds for creditors. SmartCompany reported that the company held less than AUD 750 in a Commonwealth Bank account when the liquidator assessed its financial position. This leaves the founder-related receivable as one of the only recoverable sums currently identified.

Intercompany Loan Deemed Unrecoverable

A much larger AUD 3.08 million intercompany loan owed by Global Proptech Operations Pty Ltd is not expected to produce any return. The related entity was used by McGrath and Billing to develop Rhomeo, a proprietary software product designed for the real estate sector. Gill reportedly assessed the loan as having no recoverable value, further reducing the funds potentially available for distribution.

Global Proptech Operations is part of a broader network of entities associated with Dashdot’s operations and registered in Bondi Junction. A lending business connected to the group was recently sold to Fouracre Financial in a transaction reportedly valued in the seven-figure range. However, it remains uncertain whether any proceeds from that transaction will ultimately become available to Dashdot’s creditors.

Creditor Claims Approach AUD 15.5 Million

Dashdot’s creditors are claiming approximately AUD 15.46 million, according to the latest figures cited by SmartCompany. The list reportedly includes hundreds of property buyers who paid substantial amounts to the company for assistance in building investment property portfolios. Employees, financial backers, technology providers, government agencies, and other suppliers are also among those seeking repayment.

Major claims include AUD 1.5 million from venture debt provider Mighty Partners and AUD 915,995.27 from the Australian Taxation Office. American Express is reportedly owed AUD 413,734.83, while Meta has submitted a claim worth AUD 134,671.23. The scale of these liabilities, compared with Dashdot’s limited recoverable assets, suggests unsecured creditors may receive only a small portion of what they are owed, if anything.

Collapse Followed Rapid Expansion

Founded in 2019, Dashdot operated as a property investment buyers’ agency and claimed to have assisted customers with acquiring nearly AUD 2 billion worth of real estate. The company continued promoting its services into early 2026 before entering voluntary liquidation in late May. Its collapse also resulted in approximately 40 job losses and left customers seeking clarity about funds paid for property investment services.

McGrath previously attributed the company’s failure to a combination of difficult economic conditions, weakening investor sentiment, and sharply rising social media advertising costs. The liquidation process is now examining Dashdot’s corporate relationships, transactions, outstanding receivables, and the circumstances surrounding its financial deterioration. Further investigations may determine whether additional assets or claims can be pursued for the benefit of creditors.


The expected recovery of the approximately AUD 70,000 founder loan provides only limited relief against creditor claims approaching AUD 15.5 million. With the larger intercompany loan considered unrecoverable and almost no cash remaining in Dashdot’s accounts, prospects for substantial distributions appear remote. The final outcome will depend on the liquidator’s continuing investigation into the company’s structure, asset transfers, and related-party transactions.
