Happy New Year everybody! First of all, I currently own a 17-40 mm and find that it is pretty good, and the price point was awesome when I bought it. I am shooting more and more real estate and a few people have told me to move up to the 16-35mm.. Am I really gaining that much more with that lens? I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark III. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Although 17-40 is an old lens optically I don't think you will gain a lot more with 16-35 (which series?). There's no time pressure for shooting real estate.

Use tripod, close down the aperture and make more than one shot.  Even the most mediocre lenses are decent at f/8.0.
