Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

RE: Qiutclaim deed

I am trying to sell my home. When purchased my boyfriend and I were both on the mortgage, we broke up, he is an F-14 pilot currently in Iraq. When we broke up he signed a Quitclaim Deed and I refinanced in my name only. The title company that I am dealing with has a problem with the Quitclaim because the notary also signed as the only witness. Is this document valid? What do I do? I have no way of contacting my ex. I know that he is now married and their residence is somewhere in California.

Thank you for your time, please advise.

Cordially yours, Margaret
