Software correction for perspective and distortion are probably going to be your best bets. The main problem you're going to run into with interiors, though, is lighting and having a relatively slow 18-70. A tripod might be a good idea, and if you're at all interested in lighting, you may want to start reading the Strobist, and maybe take a spin around Scott Hargis's Flickr stream and blog, and the Flickr "Photography for Real Estate" group.

You may want to consider renting an ultrawide lens (I would've added "or a full-frame body", but your lenses are both DX...).
