You have some keystoning going on. Fix that in photoshop or get a tilt-shift.
The lines were converging upward, so i tried to fix that in photoshop, going from what i've seen on architecture photographers websites. I used rulers to make them vertical, although not with too much precision I suppose
No TS right now, unfortunately. First time I saw images of buildings taken with a wideangle and with fixed perspective, I thought they looked a bit weird and heavy on the top, which looks like keystoning at first, but this seems to be the way to do these shots, and i'm getting used to this look.

The first thing I noticed was what a good job you did of
avoiding vertical convergence/keystoning. It is only slightly evident.
Lens, a ladder or is it Photoshop?
You will also need to build up or purchase a sky and cloud bank to use in your shots - you said it yourself....the sky is bad. Use the bank to replace these white or overcast skies.
Thank you. I have a regular non-shifting wideangle 10-20, so i fixed the distortions in photoshop, no ladder for these shots either. Great point on replacing the sky, I have not thought of that yet, will definitely get on that!

I'd suggest picking up a book or magazine dedicated to architectural and real estate photography, then glean some ideas from that. That should tell you what works and what doesn't, and what clients are typically looking for.
I've been checking some websites, but thanks for the advice, magazines are gonna be my next step and maybe a book or two after that.
