Creating its own currents in a stagnant market, fast-growing Scher-Voit Commercial Brokerage Co. said Monday that it is forming a division to handle retail properties. The new unit will operate initially out of Scher-Voit's Anaheim office, and will eventually be expanded throughout its five-office system, said Gary Marquis, managing partner of the Anaheim office and a company vice president.

Lawrence M. Scher smiles when someone describes him as the bad boy of the local brokerage industry. But mention Scher's name to some managers of other commercial real estate brokerages and you may get a grimace. The reason: A competitor accused Scher's brokerage firm last year of raiding not only some of its best brokers but some of its best property listings as well. A $1-million lawsuit was recently settled by Scher's firm, Scher-Voit Commercial Brokerage Co.

An Irvine commercial real estate brokerage settled a lawsuit Tuesday with a Los Angeles rival that had accused the Irvine firm of improperly raiding brokers and listings. Scher-Voit Commercial Brokerage Co., an upstart Irvine firm, was sued for $1 million by Daum Commercial Industrial Real Estate in Los Angeles late last year. The suit had been closely followed by local brokers, who said the settlement was generally favorable to Daum.

Old Town Irvine is not in the heart of the Orange County city of 98,000, but the formerly ramshackle structures at Sand Canyon Avenue and the Santa Ana Freeway are attracting upscale shoppers who like the idea of a hotel made out an old lima bean silo and a fast-food place made from a blacksmith shop. The $20-million project is being developed on 6.5 acres contributed by the Irvine Co., a partner in the project with Robert B. Smith, James W. Ray, Michael D. Ray and Bernice Anglea.
