Hello, I'm new to the photography world and am finding that I rather enjoy it. I work in real estate and have a Canon EOS Rebel T3 with a 18-55 mm factory lens. I come across several instances where I need to take pictures of smaller rooms and this lens just isn't cutting it. I need a wide angle lens with auto focus feature that lets me take clear pictures of smaller rooms.

I've looked into this a little and one place I came across mentioned the Sigma 10-22mm wide angle lens is preferred with real estate photographers. Does anybody have any thoughts they can pass my way either regarding the Sigma lens or a different lens that's easy on the budget but will work with my camera and do what I need it to do? Any help with where I can purchase from would be great as well. Thanks.

I'm guessing you're in the US, I'd suggest B&H or Adorama.
Also look at the Canon 10-18 STM.
And the Sigma is a slightly better lens than the kit lens, for pro work I'd recommend a proper step up in quality, but if you're happy with your current results...
 
Sigma 8-16
 
Try the Canon 10-22mm if your budget allows. Otherwise the Sigma you suggested works well.

You won't want to shoot any wider than an equivalent 16mm (the 10mm on the Canon and Sigma equates to 16mm on your camera).
