Your PM should be visiting the property NOW to secure it and to view the inside for damage since it was left open. See if the tenant's left the keys on the kitchen counter or elsewhere inside the rental. Also, look for any personal items such as toothbrush which might indicate tenant is still living there. If they left keys or took all personal items (not including trash or valueless personal property such as broken furniture, etc.), there's no reason to wait to take possession. Some states allow the LL to take possession at any point after the judgment so long as the tenant is not present in the unit, by changing the locks. The Sheriff is only necessary to keep the peace if the tenant has to be physically ousted from the rental.

Do you know if Georgia allows for the landlord to go in and take possession at any point after the judgment so long as the tenant is not present in the unit, by changing the locks?

Yes you can go in and change locks.
