Depending on your state law, which should be available on the internet (try "name of your state" and Code, e.g. Alabama Code, on a Yahoo search), she can list the house with a realtor, but when it comes time for the closing, the attorney handling the recording of the deed will ask you to sign a quit claim deed. You should seek the advice of a local attorney. If you cannot afford one, try legal aid. It will also depend on the exact wording on the deed. Are you listed as a "Tenant in Common" or "Joint Tenant with Right of Survivorship"?

No. She cannot transfer the ownership of the property to someone else without you signing. By being on the deed, you also own the house.

If you currently hold title as Joint Tenants, both of you need to sign to transfer ownership. The ONLY person that she can quitclaim her share to is YOU.

No. You will have to sign off on it, as well as the realtor agreements and all that. You will have to be part of the closing.
