In 2010, I married my husband and we now reside in the house. His friend will be getting out in 3 months and says he will be moving back to the house. We don't want him to come here and he has refused to sign a quit-claim deed. Is there a way to sell the house without his consent. We just want to sell and move out to stay away from him. We have offered him money but he still insisits on moving back into the home

Any Co-owner of a property have the right to seek partition of the property, which means obtaining a court order that the property be sold and the proceeds distributed to the co-owners. You should discuss this with a real estate litigator who can tell you the process and the costs.
