Daisy Razo
Office/Operations Manager
I joined City Centre Insurance in April of 2021 as an Office Manager. As the Office Manager, I provide current and new customers with assistance in anything they may require with their insurance needs. I also provide assistance for all of our City Centre Producers in providing training on our systems as well as quoting and finalizing new insured's policies. My favorite part of working at City Centre Insurance is being able to provide customer service to others and educate them on our Insurance products.
As an Office Manager, I have my Property and Casualty and Life license in the State of Texas. I have over 15 year of experience in the Insurance industry. I have in-depth knowledge in handling a variety of products and policies in the state of Texas.
When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my daughters. I absolutely love to bake in my spare time and enjoy attending an Astros game whenever I can.

Craig Bass
President of City Centre Insurance Holding Group, Inc.
Craig W Bass is an experienced insurance professional. Insurance is in his blood. His father was a perennial top performer for Farmers Insurance with a forty-year agency in Torrance, CA. Upon completion of his studies at San Diego State University, Craig started his own scratch agency in Lomita, CA. He remained an agent, winning every honor Farmers could bestow, establishing himself as a rising star within the company. Within seven years he had attained the pinnacle of Farmers success by being invited to participate in the President's Council, an honor reserved for the upper 1% of agents and district managers.
Looking for greater challenges, Craig sold his agency to his father to try his hand at being a district manager. He moved to Colorado for two-year tutelage. Then he accepted his own small district. He took the district from obscurity to notoriety by increasing both sales and morale. He rapidly established himself an insurance prodigy and a natural leader... a rare combination.
In 2002 Craig moved back to California. He took the reins of District 9951 in San Diego. The rest is history. Craig turned this small district into a powerhouse, netting him California District Manager of the Year as well as all other awards offered by Farmers. Toppers Club is awarded to the top 10% in the company. He won that twenty five times. The Championship award goes to the top 3%. He won eleven times. Lastly, the coveted President's Council (top 1%) was awarded Craig Bass an amazing ten times. After selling his district at Farmers in 2018 Craig built a $10+ million dollar agency in Southern California prior to accepting a position as President of Distribution at City Centre Insurance Management Group, Inc.
