When a property is co-owned by two or more people as tenants in common or joint tenants each owner can only sell their own interest in the property. They cannot transfer the interest of the other owners. If three people own a property and one wants to sell, that one can try to find a buyer for their share and that buyer will share the property with the other two owners. However, not a lot of buyers would want to share a property with strangers. Each joint owner has the right to the use and possession of the entire property.

A better solution when one joint owner wants to sell is for the other owner(s) to make them a fair offer and buy them out.

If two people own real estate they both must join in the sale of the property. A deed by one co-owner will only sell their one-half interest.

Yes. A house can be sold with two names on the deed. You will need both of the owners' signatures to sell it.

If a deed is in three names and two of the names belong to a married couple how can they take their names off the deed and put the deed in the third person's name only?

The two people can sign a quit claim deed and record it, effectively putting the deed in the third person's name only. HOWEVER, if there is still a mortgage on the property then the lender has to agree to this. If the couple co-signed for the home, this may not work until the third person can afford to refinance alone.
