Use a wide spread and make sure that your dimmest exposure isn't blowing

only 1 stop over. You should be OK.

HDR in lightroom is pretty straightforward. All you really need is two exposures, one for the room, and one for the window. Or, just for giggles, you could try a test shot at base ISO, exposing just so the brightest bits in the window are not blown out and see how much you can pull out of the shadows. I seem to recall that your camera is supposed to have pretty good dynamic range.

Depending on the size of the windows, however, you may want to go to a theater supply store, and get a large straw colored gel to hang on the outside so that you don't get the weird offset color.

The gel could also help correct the exposure disparity, and could also fuzz the image through the window so it wouldn't be as distracting.

I used to shoot a lot of home interior photos for various real estate
companies, particularly Apartment Guide. I always shot separate
exposures for the windows — so they wouldn’t be burned out —  and
blended them in PhotoShop or stripped them in when necessary. I’m
thinking I can do pretty much the same with HDR. I’ve never shot HDR,
but it seems fairly simple.  Is this a workable solution?

These pics will be for marketing my own house. Time to get out of
Dodge.

It *should* work, but I've never been able to make it do so. I would go
with the technique you already know well.
