Asbestos Tile--Carpet/Laminate over it or remove?

Hi all,
By reading the posts, it seems like my Eichler likely has asbestos tile under the current carpet. I didn't get it tested but probably that is the case.

I was wondering how many people actually removed the asbestos tile or used floor covering (carpet/laminate/hardwood) over it?

Some of the tiles are broken/cracked especially near the wall.

Does this impact saleability of the house in the future?

Also any abatement contractors recommended in the Bay Area (if I decide it's worth to get done)?
