I just bought a Nikon D610 with battery grip and a 16-35mm F 4 lens. What Nikon flash should I buy to start my wireless flash system? The Nikon SB600/700? I am not sure as I am new to Nikon coming from Canon. I would graciously appreciate your advice.

What can you afford? I would buy the best which to me is the SB-910, but you should also look at Yongnuo flashes as they seem good and priced well.

The SB-600 was a good flash, but it has been discontinued about two years. Current production is SB-700 and SB-910 (pricey). And there are a few others (very few) that will do wireless flash with the Commander.
One is this: Review of the Yongnuo YN565EX Speedlight (an import in every sense, no US warranty, but a great value).
You might see Beginners Guide to Select a Hot Shoe Flash too.

For your indoor / realty business, the SB 910 will be able to provide the "light" that you need to illuminate the place properly.
Include some rechargeable AA batteries.

I have a SB700
It's very easy to use and serves most situations, indoors..
but i think i would suggest something with more power like the sb910 or the yongnuo alternatives

I just bought the SB-910 and it may be expensive but it'll do everything the CLS has to offer. You can use it off camera with the stand, and use the on camera flash to act as a commander to trigger it. It's worth the money and should last forever if not abused.

SB-700, 800 or 910 are solid choices.
Keep in mind there is NO PC jack on the SB-700 for some reason.

Yongnuo is also a good buy. What's your budget for a flash?
