Selling house that we had wired for Wireless POE AP's mounted on the ceiling (alien.top)

Kinda like the title says. I had installed a full Ubiquiti Unifi system in my old house with two AP's, one upstairs and one downstairs. Removing the hardware to sell the house. What's the best way to "hide" those Cat6 cables sticking out? Instead of just having cables hanging from the ceiling? Use a keystone jack wall plate maybe? Just wondering what others might suggest to make it look "cleaner" for prospective buyers. Thanks, appreciate the advice!

So in my home, I did surface mount keystone boxes for all my APs already. I essentially have only have about 1-2” of blue cable showing before the box and then white cables going to my APs. I feel confident in saying when I eventually sell my home it will be perfectly acceptable to leave as is. Either taking the APs with me or offering whatever I use then with the home.
