Asbestos and abatement advice?

[Andrew Tetrick]

We are under contract for a house that I suspect has asbestos popcorn ceilings. I know there are a few ways to deal with this without testing and abatement, but I’m new to this and want to make sure I’m doing things the right way - and the healthiest way for my family and I (we will likely be living there for at least part of the remodel) and any future inhabitants.  

My biggest fear is that when I go to sell, people will see in the disclosure that it *used* to have asbestos in the ceilings and will still be weary even with the abatement having been done professionally.  I know it won’t scare away everyone, but all it takes is scaring away the right one.

I’d love any advice anyone has based on buyer comments and feelings in similar situations.
