Most real estate photographers use HDR, and the higher end uses off-camera flash (as did I). There’s no nefarious reason behind this - it’s because photos where you can actually see out the windows look better. It’s also more like what your eyes would see rather than a crazy blown out white rectangle. When the house is on a lake you want people to see what the view is like. It was the rooms where I didn’t do that where I was hiding something, like an air conditioning unit being all you could see or whatnot.
The stupidly wide lenses most use? Yeah, that‘s deceptive. I also think it looks bad I tried to ride the line on using the tightest lens I could while still showing the room.
