For real estate photography, a better lens choice would be the 10-22mm EF-S Canon ( for aps-c Canon cameras ) or the 16-35mm EF Canon ( for full frame Canon camera ). A tripod and Adobe Lightroom are also recommended. I've included a real estate picture I took using the 16-35mm, a Canon 6D, tripod and Lightroom.

That will correct for distortion and also vignetting which is usually pronounced with wide aperture lenses unless you stop it down a bit (which you should for real estate photography anyways, f/8-f/11 would be optimal). And of course, shoot in RAW format (not JPG) for best results: sharpness, color correction, white balance correction, dynamic range, distortion and vignetting correction etc. Also, I would avoid shooting real estate with lens wider than 24mm. Using 16-35 lens (at 16mm setting) would make every room seem way larger than it actually is, and all objects in the frame corners would be stretched and deformed. There's software by DxO that can correct it, but it's easier to get it right in camera. If you need wider field of view, use 24mm or 35mm lens and stich multiple shots together in post production (shooting from a leveled tripod is a must).
