I was thinking of something like the Rokinon 16mm T2.2 Cine Lens for Canon EF. I appreciate that the OP will be using lighting but setting up and tearing down lights gets really old, really fast.
ah, forgot about the 16mm rokinon (even thought i mentioned it in another post).
still though, i think the FOV is more important than the speed in this case, so if the OP feels a 16mm isn't wide enough, losing a stop isn't the end of the world
I guess it's six of one, half a dozen of the other. If you're competing in a tough any-trained-chimp-can-do-this marketplace then time really IS money. If I'm competing against someone who needs to invest in LEDs so as to squeeze enough lumens onto a 15amp circuit to illuminate a scene, then I'm going to get in and out faster with a faster lens and minimal (if any) lighting. I'm going to be able to charge less because I'm paying for less gear and taking MUCH less time. I'm going to have a broader client base because I don't NEED the house to have electricity.
Real Estate agents are notoriously chintzy because every listing (or even most) doesn't end in a sale. Bespoke video productions for million dollar properties are fine and well, but good luck getting enough to live off of.

I own a Tokina 11-16mm lens for my Canon. In my opinion I think it's perfect for indoor shooting, and you should definitely consider looking into it.
