You don't sell a deed. You sell the property that the deed covers. If you own the property you can sell it.

If you are saying that you own property based on having received a quit claim deed, and now you want to sell that property, then sure, you can sell it.

You will of course record the deed you were given, and then you may sell your property with a new deed.

Just a quick question.

Quick retort: if you can find someone willing to pay money for it, you can sell the piece of paper. :)

Or, if you want to receive substantial money, sell the property that the deed describes (as the other posters have said). One thing: depending on the circumstances, buyers might not be willing to pay as much if you have a quit claim deed. They should have course obtain title insurance, and if they do, as a practical matter the difference between a q.c. deed and a warranty deed shouldn't amount to anything.
