Selling Deed

My ex husband quitclaimed the deed to our home to me. He is on the mortgage and I am not. Notice from the mortgage company states they will start foreclosure on 6/22/2010, if they didn’t get the 2 months payments he was behind. The has stopped paying the mortgage. I listed the house for sale. There is a buyer through a realty company who is talking to the mortgage company for a short sale. Since I am the only one on the deed with no financial responsibility. Can I ask the mortgage company for $1000 in order to quitclaim the deed to the mortgage company? I understand some States are paying people behind on mortgages $2000 to vacate without damaging the property. I have no interest in getting a loan to purchase the house. I have not lived in it for four years. I have accumulated expenses trying to get rid of it. There are also numerous repairs to be made to the house.
