Quit claim so ex-husband can refinance my house in his name

I was advised by the mortgage person my ex-husband is working with to try a quit claim so he can refinance house in his name and if it doesn’t go through that I can reverse the quit claim. My research shows it’s not that easy to reverse.

No, you cannot reverse it: if you quitclaim to your ex-husband, you give him the property and you give up ALL rights and interest you have in or to it. Since it will be his and since you will have no rights to it, you cannot undo the transaction or reverse the quitclaim. Your ex-husband could give the property back to you, but you would not be able to make him do that; you'd have to trust that he would.
