COLUMBIA, S.C. (October 6, 2025)– South Carolina REALTORS® (SCR) has awarded Myrtle Beach Realtor® Jolene Selwa with its coveted C. Dan Joyner Good Neighbor Award. The honor was presented during the association’s legal conference, REALTOR® MANIA, at Wild Dunes in Isle of Palms in September.

The C. Dan Joyner Good Neighbor Award is given annually to members whose values represent the utmost in Realtor® professionalism, compassion, and volunteerism and is named in honor of the notable upstate Realtor® and philanthropist, the late C. Dan Joyner.

Jolene Selwa is a Realtor® at Crescent Realty in Myrtle Beach. She was nominated for the award due to her extensive volunteer service to Keep Surfside Beach Beautiful (KSBB).

KSBB is an advisory committee appointed by the town to help enhance and beautify the community through programs such as beach sweeps, the Yard of the Month program, the Christmas Home Tour, improving local parks, golf cart parades and support of other seasonal events and festivals.

Her service includes more than 565 volunteer hours, during which she recruited and coordinated numerous additional volunteers. She has donated materials, raised funds, and developed flyers, signage, and social media content to support KSBB’s initiatives. Her work has benefited hundreds of residents and contributed to making Surfside Beach a cleaner, more vibrant, and welcoming community.

Key projects she has led or supported include the revitalization of Harrison Park, coordination of the Surfside Beach Christmas Tour of Homes, and organization of a turtle coloring contest at Seaside Elementary to promote awareness of local wildlife preservation.

“Jolene’s commitment to her community reflects the very best of what it means to be a Realtor®,” said Keon Aldrich, President of the South Carolina REALTORS®. “Through her leadership and hands-on dedication, she’s made a lasting difference—not only in Surfside Beach, but in the lives of everyone her work has touched,” said SCR President Keon Aldrich.
