Right Of First Refusal, Potential Failure

[William Coet]

Hello,

I would like to offer a payment to an owner/occupant of a single family home in exchange for the first right of refusal to buy the land.

My concern is that it could be disregarded in the future and a sale finalized between her and a different buyer.  Once deed is recorded, I don't know what recourse I would have, if any.

Is there a way to establish an ironclad first right of refusal?

Can the rofr be attached to the deed/title so that any attempt to transfer property would trigger contact with the holder of the right of refusal?

Thanks

Is there a reason you wouldn't just record your Right of First Refusal at the County Recorder's office?
