I'm guessing you're in the beginning phase of real estate photography and if it's something you would like to do more of, a great place to start for beginners is on YouTube (and its free). Try Nathan Cool, Rich Baum, Mattew Stallone(Stallone Media) and Andrew Pece. They have great info to build a solid foundation. You can build your own style off of their info and still be quick and dirty.
It looks like you're aiming your camera downward which is not a problem in itself, but it does create an issue where the vertical lines are converging. Generally speaking, you want to correct your perspective so that any vertical lines in the room stay vertical in the photo.
For "quick and dirty" work, I would recommend just trying to keep your camera as level as possible and using the AUTO or VERTICAL correction tool as well as the built-in Lens Profile correction in Lightroom to get it close enough quickly. You can be more of a perfectionist and bring it into Photoshop, but I'm guessing you're probably not charging enough for "quick and dirty" work to make it worthwhile to correct each photo manually in that fashion.
If you do run across a nice property while doing your quick and dirty work, take a little bit of extra time in one or two rooms so that you can start building up your portfolio to try to attract higher end clients.
You definitely want to get rid of the sink stopper and sponge, and also those keys on the bottom left corner.
