Your Star Options will not transfer. The buyer would need to use Interval International or RCI to exchange even into Starwood resorts. The resort is Sheraton Desert Oasis.

I'm a pretty un-familiar with timeshares so I'm not sure what the Star Options are. I just grabbed this information from the website. Would Star Options being non transferrable make this harder to sell for me or is it a common thing that a buyer would expect.

It is a common thing that a knowledgeable buyer should expect. Someone who acquired your timeshare would probably want it to use themselves, or to trade it with Interval International or RCI.

I recommend that you also offer to pay for the title transfer costs to "sweeten the pot." You can get a professional transfer from the company below for about $150:
