Oh yes... I always despised them. But the 5D3 does a, IMO, miraculous job on them. It even does well at landscapes in some situations, but this is definitely my new standard for r/e.
Some more examples:

single shot, bounce flash:
a few more HDR...

I agree it works much better than I ever would have expected. I thought it would be a cartoony looking gimmick. However I find I don't like to pixel-peep the results, they are rather soft at 100% view. Which of course is usually meaningless, but still.
Neat, I wasn't even aware of that! But isn't it "compositing"? I don't think of the 5D3 as a garden tool!

What lens, please, and how was geometric correction done?

Bill, actually you can get this same HDR processing in the latest DPP with any camera, you just have to take the 3 bracketed shots yourself. The 5D3 just makes it easy by doing it all for you.

Appreciate that, thanks.
Have never been able to find exif from posted images. What's the trick, please?
I shot this yesterday. Not for real estate obviously. 14mm on APS-C. Converted to 16bit tiff in DPP, then geometric on verticals in DxO. Then into Ps. Don't know if I'm mashing my pixels to pulp going such an in-and-out route! I thought somewhere in some app there was a button you pressed to get all, repeat ALL, geometric distortions ironed out!! But I'll go ask in technique or some place.

Google for browser exif plugin.
DPP can get you most of the way there, if you shot with the camera level in the first place. It corrects lens distortion, but not perspective or keystone. But your white balance seems very off...?

Thanks very much for the tips!
WB? Wot WB? That is ART, man!! A-R-T!!rofl (It's planned to be part of a composite)

Sorry, I misspoke. DPP cannot correct lens distortion for jpegs, so it cannot correct the resultant HDR. I go to CS5 for that if necessary. I find that just keeping the camera level minimizes the need for PP and creates a natural looking image.
Here's more...
Shot another house today (when it rains it pours!) and the realtor wanted to see the interior done both ways - HDR and flash. So this gallery is a decent comparison:

Sometimes HDR is not the best tool for the job. Most of the time I think it is. Other times it's the only way, like #8 which simply could not be flashed.
Anyway, I'm loving it.

Yes it has a definite "look" to it, which has its place, as said.
